Where can I find things for this motor like headers, exhaust, cams, pistons, rods, etc.. I want to build this up a little and get a nice sounding exhaust. I was going to use my stock DX one, but I was told it wouldn't work, plus mine sux. Any info would be helpful. Anyone who has this or helped build these could really help me.Thanks

 

check out http://www.thezcr.com they have alot of links and stuff

 

If you want to build the motor up you need to use sohc SI pistons and rods.

Go there.

Also if you want an exaust it doesn't matter what engine you have it just matter which car you have.

i didn't know about that one. But http://www.theoldone.com has some awesome pistons and other things for the ZC engine. Also Liam is always saying nothing but good things about JG in cali

 

Thanks for all the good links guys. Just one more question. Would it be worth it/wise/reliable if I turboed this with only like 7 pounds of boost?

 

i'm gonna turbo mine sooner or later. And i know that Liam (zcr.com) is putting down about 400 hp on his ZC turbo'd

and his who build cost him about $6K

So if you think that is so funny can you tell me EXACTLY what the differences are between a set of forged DOHC ZC pistons and a set of forged SOHC pistons would be? I'm getting ready to build a ZC so any info would be very helpful.

 

i don't think there is any diffrence. In fact i'm almost 100% sure that the D16a6 and ZC pistons are interchangable.

I just said you should look into the old ones pistons because of the quality and how much work he put into it

 

well, theres no reason the d16a6 pistons won't work, but the way he said it it sounds like using the stock ones naturally aspirated would be an advantage. they'll lower the compression ratio.

 

Who is Liam? And what all do I need to buy to do this swap?

Check the site. Stuff is amazing for ZC's.

http://www.thezcr.com &lt;--- has almost all info you will ever need on the DOHC ZC engine.

To put the engine in you'll need the engine, and some wire. thats about it. I did mine in about 6 hours not having ANY previous mechanical experience. Just read ALOT Honda-tech and http://www.thezcr.com will become your internet "crack" if you want it to go smooth and get the best out of your engine
