hi i have a dohc zc crx that i am looking to turbo. I am definatly getting forged internals and will be getting it professionally tuned, just wonder how much power i can make safely and reliably with this settup. Thanks

100,000,000,000,000 WHP

Seriously, have you searched ? Have you asked your tuner ??? The second one is what really matters...

Timmerrr

No i havent i was just asking i havent had much time with school, work, sports so i was just looking for a rough estimate thanks

no such thing as a rough estimate... you could make 200hp you could make 800
depends on your budget and what you want to do

Call who ever is going to be tuning your car. It will only take 5 minutes.... See what he is comfortable with...

Timmerrr

Alright if i get forged rods and pistons bigger injectors and fuel pump could i make 300 hp reliably?

Yes 300whp should not be a problem. It all depends on the motor work, if it is sleeved, what turbo your are running, what cams you are running, what fuel is being used and how good the tune is. All play a major role in how much power the motor will make. Dont try to push the stock sleeves past 300whp.

^^^How can you answer this question? 300WHP on an imaginary turbo system? Isn't it obvious the OP is only parroting what he thinks he needs without knowing why he would need it? You telling him it is not a problem is a problem. How much WHAT setup will make? THERE IS NO SETUP EVEN LISTED!!!!! I don't know why people entertain these self intro chat questions. FAQs are posted for a pretty good reason.

how much power do you want? it doesn't matter what we've had

Timmerrr

Im lookin for 250-300 hp can the stock sleeves handle that much power? I would more than likly go with a kit like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...440&cmd=VIDESC would that be able to get me to my power goal?

rich7777

Hahaha, HILARIOUS !! What a joke....

Get on your keyboard and do sone research or find another hobby.

nealnanoHX

Dont get grumpy. The OP asked if it is possible to make 300whp with the ZC motor and yes it is. But like I said it all depends on the setup.

OP do not get a Ebay turbo kit. Do it right with quality parts or dont turbo it at all.

Timmerrr

Alright i guess that right now with my budget its not worth it to go turbo unless there i can find a name brand kit thats not much more. Thanks for the help guys

Hang in there bro... No one said you had to buy and brand new name brand kit. Buy parts used and fine good parts for a good price. Take your time and dont rush it. Trust me buy good parts the first time.

Timmerrr

^never thought of that would a used kit for a d series and the buy a new turbo(greddy ect.) to fit the manifold be a good idea. craigslist maby?

you'd be better off burning your money... that kit is so so... some people have good luck with them, 98% don't

so unless you want to spend money twice, look into used parts. the marketplace is full of quality used stuff

Is this what you guys are thinking, good price and name brand? Idk if the manifold would fit the dohc zc but just using this as an example.

i wouldnt buy a damn thing off of craigslist

and thats a greddy manifold that t25 flanged so it cannot be a t3/t4 turbo...

buy things that you know are real, what exactly they are, and how hard they were used

Timmerrr

Alright thanks ill search around here some more. Would getting a tial bov, wastegate and getting a good turbo But then buying piping fmic and manifold off ebay work. Ik you guys hate ebay but im just thinking of ways i could peice this togathe for a good price

Cheap
Fast
Reliable

Pick 2, the one you didnt pick, is what it is not going to be...

Timmerrr

Alright i think ive got something. Ill post pics when i start doing work probably wont be till october because of soccer.

Timmerrr

Are vitara pistons a good idea for the zc block if now what pistons would you recomend
