I have a ZC CRX Si and am putting a turbo on it. I *might* have some extra cash flow in the next few weeks and was looking at rebuilding the engine to a lower compression and to make it stronger. Does anyone know what the equivalent US market parts are and who I should get them through and maybe the average cost of doing this rebuild. Ex: does it use 88-89 acura integra rods and pistons? I am looking to rebuild to about 8.5:1 compression.

 

-Use a Re-bushed B18A/B rod's for a D series piston. A machine shop can do this pretty cheep.
-IMO just get forged Arias piston's in what ever CR you want.

EDIT: You can put in A6 piston's and you will have a 8:1 CR

can the A6 pistons handel 15 psi tho??????????????

 

most major piston and rod companies that deal with imports will have zc parts. arias and je pistons etc......

 

Check out my site...

The Endyn Roller wave pistons work very well. (designed for the ZC)

well with GREAT/PERFECT tuning sure.

But just look at the post... I put MY IMO awnser above that.

Bryson...what have you done to your ZC to be boosting 12psi? Ignition System? Timing Retarder?

 

to the top!

 

His sig says: "12 psi on stock internals."

SOrry I meant...what else such as ignition, timing , computer fuel mangement

 

oh

 

ZDyne = The only possible way I'm able to pull it off.


I'm running it a bit rich (11.5-12) Air fuel ratio so detonation does not exist.
I also have the ignition set to retard .5 deg per pound of boost
good High flow exhaust = less temperature in the cumbustion process.
Very frequent oil changes with new 5W-30 Mobil 1 syn.

 

Cool...so how much did your ZDyne cost you?

 

Well I did a paired buy with someone off another forum so I got a deal...

I ended up paying 875 which included the Nitrous function and shipping.
