Default ZC Build up

I have a DOHC ZC engine in a 2nd gen CRX

I have intake and exhaust done, just wondering what the next best horsepower for $$$ upgrades are.

do some reasearch, you can have a complete turbo setup, re-built for under 600

edit: check junkyards for 1g DSM turbos, theycan be found for as low as $50, rebuilt $200, then the rest of the parts, many of which can be taken from the same dsm you got the turbo from

I agree with fourthgenhatch. If you don't know about junk yard turbo kits, you can build one for a zc for under a thousand easily. Also with ghettodyne v2 on the virge of release, I'm seriously considering selling my b16 and doing one of these kits myself.

the 1g dsm turbo is good for 14, on a stock zc you can run up to 8. its the cheapest power gain per dollar othar than nitrous

I ran an 80 shot on my ZC forever with stock internals until one of my fuel injectors crapped out. Even then it only melted one valve.
