hey i need people's opinion. i got my rex si with a dohc zc now with an si tranny. i love my motor and recently got a bisi header and have a sc that i might buy, but i also have a b16 swap that i can also put in and later on change for a ls/vtec. im debating on which route to take so i need opinions. what do you think is better. im looking for around 200-220 hp.

 

bump for ls/vtec its a bit more work but way worth the time and effort

 

I don't think you'll get 220whp out of the ZC. I think you should go LS/vtec and send me the supercharger.

 

id say zc with the sc. and then throw that b16 over to me

 

Where did you find a SC for your ZC? When I had my ZC I couldnt find one anywhere.

 

for your 200-220whp goal it's as simple as a B16A or B18C and the JRSC. the only problem with the JRSC kit is that if you don't get the LHT intercooler it'll get heat soaked fairly easily and you'll lose power. or you could get a turbo kit with the swap and get up to 250whp pretty easily.

 

it's actually a jr sc for a sohc but you can use it on a zc dohc with a zcr plate. oh and its ported. I know that its worth all the work with an ls/vtec because I have built a couple already even one that dynoed 227hp/148lb. tq. but like ii said I love my zc and have maintained it well. plus its a dd that rarely sees any track time

 

If you like your ZC then keep it and SC it, going to end up being cheaper and since you arent going to track it you dont need more power than that...well maybe anyways

 

dohc zc all the way. im building a sohc zc right now. but mine is going to be turbo on 15-20 lbs of boost.
