yoo any idead on how much power u could make out of a turbo zc?

 

1,000.

 

312,620

 

As much power your bank account can handle!!!

 

312,621

 

i was boosted with a stock 1990 zc motor (dohc)
motor was stock from the factory, never been tampered with...
with 9psi on a small 't2' sized turbo, i dynod 170whp and 140wtq
fuel i was using a very poor setup, 450cc injectors and safc

upgraded to a basemap (lol) now but havent had a chance to re dyno and or tune

this adds up to be a bit less than 200hp at the crank...which is basically close to the limit for the dohc zc, so i would say unless you upgrade internals, this would be the max.

it was good for 13 sec quarter mile @ 100mph on street tires

motor has been boosted since approx 1999
was daily driven with 10psi for approx 3 years
was at the drag strip approx 10 times
autox twice
dyno once

motor is still running, waiting to install into a new shell, it out lasted the car.

before the zc i was running a stock d15b2 1.5l dx motor with the same turbo setup, only 5psi, and again, the engine and turbo outlasted the clutch and thus i upgraded instead of repairing the clutch.

 

will i think not a good idea unless u plann on putting low compression pistons because the zc is is a high compression motor the pistons are dome pistons sum what like the ctr pistons

 

don't listen to the guy above me. He doesn't know what the heck he's talking bout. Zc motors are 9.1 compression. Perfect for boosting. With something like a t28 turbo decent size injectors (440) and a good tune. Not street tune, a real tune. (On a dyno) you can easily put out more than 200hp with a great amount of torque. With tuning you can even daily it without worries.


DO it and you wont regret it.

 

yep.. hell even a zc with intake header n exhaust will pull b16s all day long and stock gsr tegs.. not to shabby i think

 

sweett iplan on boosting wile i set sumthing else up

 

it may take 400, or it may only take 150. who knows. It really has to do with your tuning. Detonation is a gasoline engines worst enemy.
But who cares. Boost it until it blows, but please take vids.
