Im going into my engine building class into school,and my friend has a junk zc motor.I may be able too buy it for 100-200 bucks.I was gonna rebuild it in school.But i was wondering has anyone ever bored the motor out at all?Maybe High compression pistons?High lift Cams,ITB's?Etc...Just wondering how you would think the motor would be with this.I can do the majority of the head work at school.I will just need too send the block too a shop too bore it out.Tell me what you guys think?

 

never heard of it.

 

Hmm is it possible?Or would valve contact happen with high compression pistons?Around 11:0-1 or so

 

d-series.org!

 

ya i checked it already...theres no info on fully built zc's,just stuff like i/h/e running 15.0....big whoop

Thanks...anyone have any dyno's or timeslips?

Since when was he running a ZC?

 

ya im talking about the dohc zc here!

 

ah gotcha, my bad

 

what's the point of building a N/A non-vtec sohc? its like trying to run with only one leg...

 

There are actually some pretty respectible NA a6s running around.

 

^^^ yea, and I'm sure the ZC could handle at least as much or moreso.

Aftermarket support for the ZC is dodgy and you have to know what US single cam stuff you can put on it along with the random other things from the earlier tegs and what not. It's going to be tricky but I bet you could make a screaming ZC n/a build if you could find the parts.

I would love too hear your explanation why???And if it is because of there is no hift lift lobe on the intake side,you can custom grind them too have high lift as if vtec was always activated....anything is possible if you have the skills or have the cash

 

hey im on ur side and in the zc, im in the process of building my spare one right now, how does a sleeved bored stroked 1.8--(tryin to see if i can get 2.0) that revs to 9k sound, yes sir, im gettin the parts , done the research and starting it, its all in the details, not as much custom stuff as ud think...
there benifits of wieght over the B serises like 50lbs and tuners sure know the advantages of that,

also got a zc unorthadox single belt cam gear for sale....

 

they weight less than b series??I didnt know that.So thats only slightly more than a sohc correct?About 30 pounds or so?

 

check this site out... http://www.zcspeed.com/zcspeed.htm

click on "racing" and then click on their car (the first link). Ran a best of 13.94 with a NA DOHC ZC. However, it's a civic std with lexan windows.

 

I bet 150hp would be easy but fairly expensive.

 

that car on that zc site has absolutely no internal work....and it ran a 13.9,its very possible to make a decently fast all motor zc,no doubt.

Now thats a CLASS OF 04 comment

I would by no means say there is no support for this motor, if you are really trying to build a real "na" setup it will be mostly custom parts anyway and anybody will build anything you want.
I say go for it

 

ok... my analogy was poor. i was just trying to say that it'd probably be more cost efficient to do b-series or a turbo setup for the same results. there aren't a lot of a6 powered car running 13s. b swapped cars are much more likely to run those times. btw... i will have an sohc zc swap in the spring and i will be building a turbo kit.
sorry for the class of 04 comment.

I hate it when people say "yeah, i'll have this and that in a few months". Don't try to make a comeback by stating that you're going to be doing a SOHC ZC swap and building a turbo kit unless you've got the parts/motor.

You ever think that the built d16a6 might be used for something in particular? Like some type of track event where you can only use NA 1.6 cylinder motors? Also, cost isn't a huge role in this thread related to the topic starter. He allready said that he can really do all the work himself because he has access to a shop and the motor will only cost 100-200 dollars.

 

I did a 13.9 all motor with my ZC.. but the car was stripped and i had quite a few mods. (all bolt ons)

the head was never taken off.

&lt;--- see the pic!
