That guy did it, but expect to be putting a hell of a lot of money into it.

It may be an EG, but still a ZC motor.

with enough time and money you can make anything hall *****.......I don't think the greddy turbo is big enough to support 300whp....you should do A LOT of research and build your own turbo kit.......

If your goal is 300hp or 300whp, why would you start with a ZC as opposed to a Type R or better? You might as well spend more money upfront to increase you baseline numbers.

I agree......at least start with a b series, build it up so you don't have to run ungodly amounts of boost

Well if you just want to beat 5.0's and Z28's, an H22 swap should do the trick, not really any need for 300hp. You actually could beat them with a B series too, and not need 300hp to do it.

Are you planning on going all motor or forced induction, because with nitrous and a couple internals or a turbo i think that you could reach 300 hp pretty easily but NA would most likely be pretty impossible.

What's up man, I think you are the only other person I've seen on here from WV. I'm from Charleston. I've got a DOHC ZC in my rex as well. If you need help with the swap let me know.
