ZCs. The red-headed stepchild of Honda. Never did like those things for boost or otherwise.

Pffft.
a $400 motor.
Cheap turbo setup and a good tune.
180-200hp on 7-10pounds of boost.
Even if it does pop its $400 and a lesson learned...


im looking forward to it

my dohc zc (stock with heavy clutch and light flywheel)
dyno'd 170whp and 140wtq on 9-10psi (this is with the safc hack, **** timing and no tuning)
with a very tiny turbo, smaller than a t3.
good for a 13 second quarter mile on street tires

i ran it on the hack daily for 5 years, i finally have a basemap on it and have the hack deactivated, now its running a lot smoother and stronger. once its tuned i will re-dyno.

Why don't you dyno tune it for the best numbers/reliability instead of street tuning then dynoing?

good motor to boost. will last forever if maintained and kept around 220-230whp

Autoworks

Replace the headstuds and headgasket and boost away.

i dont tune my car for numbers, i tune it for street reliability, because i drive it on the street, i dont care about numbers as much as i care about accurate fuel delivery in every day conditions.
and its cheaper, dont have to pay for dyno time.
