I think you should turbo the ZC...cheaper, and it's an already reliable motor!

Sell the 93 DX and ZC. With that money swap a built LS, boost, and enjoy.

Im not doing a thing to them, besides using them in my daily driver...they are just poorly built motors....Why do you think they are so incredibly cheap???

exactly, i hate when people try to glorify the zc, i would rather have a single cam motor. with a zc you gain nothing except being able to say "look, i got a swap!". man i say go with the ls swap, then turbo that

I think it looks cool, though my buddy just looked at it and said it was disgusting... Then again, he thinks his 2nd gen Altima looks nice so...

Isn't there a curse associated with that color?
