im building a ZC motor and need some options on a head and intake combo that will allow me to make some power

 

SOHC ZC or DOHC ZC?? This makes a big difference in what cylinder heads and intake manifolds you can use.

 

DOHC

 

Ok well pretty much your only choice for a cylinder head is the stock one. Intake manifold you can custom make one or just have the stock one ported.

For the head have it port and polished and then run your choice of cam(regrind).

IMO due to the lack of N/A parts for the DOHC ZC I would build it for a turbo setup but that is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth.

 

I had plans on running a turbo setup. Do you think I can run a Garrett T3/T4 turbo or do you think that would be to big and i would be better off running just a T3?

 

Don't waste your money on turbo, just go B16a

 

im going with the ZC right now b/c i really cant afford to build a B series at this time. eventually i will be doing a gsr swap.

 

Trust me save up I made the mistake of building my D series and spent around 10,000 on it and swapped a B16 in it and it is wayyyyy faster. I regret not doing it right the first time. If you are looking for power dave up the money just dont go with what you can afford for now, you will regret it like I did

 

thanks for the advice guys. ill let you know what happens

 

here this seems to be the only place that i have found that sells stuff for a ZC.

I may have misunderstood this but.....you spent 10K on a D motor, and you gotta b thats faster?

You musta spent spent $9,980 on a header if the B was faster.......

 

yes

 

i put 2000$ into a zc dohc and turbo and i run mid to high 13's on a bad day with street tires
what the hell did you spend 10k on?

im guessing it was a figure of speech....

but anyways...i say go for the build up, and let me know im building up a dohc zc right now...so far i spent 3,500 on just repairing the dam thing

 

I got the motor for free with an already rebuilt head on it so its practically brand new. Im going to putting in eagle rods and I haven't decided which pistons yet. Any ideas. Would CP pistons be a good investment?

 

hey first off you will need to know about http://www.thezcr.com

second off you need to search for a guy named Liam on there, he has an awesome turbo set up on his ZC, he invested about $6000 and has a 400 hp zc

And he said it plain and simple. With the money i've put into my ZC all i would have been able to do with a B series is put it in and do one or two performance mods

 

liam is on here too
