Icon2 Turbo ZC motor ?

I am planning to turbo a D16Y7, but I wonder if you can turbo a ZC motor because If I'm correct, it's a DOHC. Is it possible or worth doing?

the dual cam zc's are pretty crappy with boost, a sohc jdm zc is a pretty stout motor when it comes to it though, but all in all just go with a d16z6, tons of parts for them, and they are proven.

you talking about the one with the roof scoop? lol

dude you an swoop a d16z6 up for around 2 bills. I ran the **** out of mine (stock) on 1 bar of boost for almost a year (befor I traded it) and it made aroun 240 whp, it would rip the tires off when boost came in in second gear. pretty fun car since everything around my area is DOHC.

i think the boosted zcs are pretty respectable.

my one buddy had a stock zc on 10 pounds in his crx made like 240 whp pretty decent. now he is building the motor for 22 pounds.
