i am trying to bulid a high compression zc all motor. has anyone done this? im sure some one has. does anyone have a parts list of whats needed? go ahead and chime in on this. im just curious. because i have a zc block laying around. and just got a good deal on a b16. just wondering what would be cheaper to bulid? thanx

 

Build the zc. This way you don't have to buy mounts and etc. Slap some p29's in it, a good cam and get the head ported. And after all that its still cheaper (and more powerfull) then swapping a b16.

 

Is this the DOHC ZC or the SOHC ZC? If it's the DOHC it already has pm7/p29 pistons in it, they are both the same dome, but if it's the SOHC zc then yes throw the p29's in it and rock that for awhile. SOHC ZC + p29's = pretty fun all motor D series.

 

yea my bad its a sohc. i was reading and saw that dished pistons are better for all motor than domed? did i read it wrong or what? also what are the best rods?crank? to go with the combo?

 

It all depends on your plans for the car. As far as I know the A6 (sohc zc) has the best bottom end out of all the D's. So just keep your stock bottom end + some arp rod bolts and some new bearings/journels and you should be golden.

 

i want to go all motor the cheap way tho lol. i know it could be expensive but want something that i could dd without the CHP on my as* when i hit the highway. any good place to get good bottom end rebulid kit?

You should really take care of this!

 

stock or is aftermarket better?

 

Hey just finished my build using stock OEM Honda parts. Used zc pistons from a sohc with y8 head and gasket with a 1.5 block also milled the head made 160 whp with no vtec and stock can cost me about 500. And the arp kit cost me 200 I suggest doing this build so much better they a b16 mad 12.98:1 comp

 

so u used a d15bx block?? and u got 12.98:1 compression?

 

heh i'm doing something similar to you guys... i've got an a6 bottom end with pistons and rods, going to be getting a y8 head gasket and i've got a z6 head i'm throwing on it. should be fun
