I'm debating on wether to use ZEX or Crower on my SOHC VTEC all-motor buildup. I'm going to use the full springs, retainers (titanium) and camshaft.

Which company has more experience? Which one makes more reliable components? I'm not too worried about power, because both companies have shown comparable results on D-series setups...

When I'm all done, the motor should be producing around 160WHP (tuned). It's not going to be a cheap buildup, and I want the highest quality parts I can get. I've heard good things about both companies, but I don't think anybody has ever compared the two face to face.

Comments, opinions, facts, questions?
Thanks all!

 

If you're only shooting for 160 horses then I wouldn't worry too much about which one you use. They are both significantly stronger than stock and that's all that matters. I don't believe you will have any significant amount of boost, or that you will have to rev past 9000 so either should do fine.

 

Thanks for the info!
