forced induction engine dilemma? (ZC) d series? or b series?
hi guys, was wondering if any of you can help me. I have a ZC engine boosted at 6 PSI and did not want to take it over 10 PSI without uprating engine internals, i.e. rods, rings, pistons. What I am thinking is the money I would use to buy the uprated parts I could use to do an entire engine swap to a b16 which I have heard are alot stronger? is this true? and then i shall turbo charge this. can anyone convince me of a good reson of why i should go with the b16 or shall i stick with the ZC as it sounds like it could be a bit of hassle but then i dont wanna be blowing headgaskets every week with the ZC. Ive never done an engine swap before but am keen to learn, any input will be greatly appreciated.
Also what is the max figure a ZC and b16 have made>? FI?
I am wanting to obtain a reliable 300WHP without having to rebuild every weekend or so....
thanks

Don't waste money on ZC.

With good fuel management a ZC can take almost as much boost as a B16. What turbo are you using? A ZC with internals would be cheaper and more reliable than the B swap. Do whatever you want.

Re: (D15B7turbo)
I am running a T25 at 6PSI. I would like to run 10PSI daily then 15 for races/track. What would I have to upgrade on the ZC to make sure it is bulletproof as you can get?
so far i got
rods,
pistons,
piston rings,
arp head bolts,
cometic head gasket,
I am running SAFC hack should i go with a modified ECU? chipped etc?
I have MSD ignition and blaster coil SS, should I get the BTM to retard the timing under boost or chip the ECU and set it to retard with turboedit or simalar?
I have also the stock fuel pump, I have a walbro 255lph in my cupboard, should i use that possibly?
sorry for all the questions guys, your help is much appreciated
