$2,000 to spend on zc performace parts - What should i get?

[gotrice]

I'm taking out a loan and I'll have about $2,000. I don't know what to get. Help me out fellas.

[MaX]

custom piece a turbo kit.... 1,100-1,600
fmu - 150
inline pump - 150
clutch - 250-300

if you look around, you can get it all for reaaaaaaaaal cheap and  stll have enough to go to mickedy d's

[cincyrex]

sell the zc and get a b16 if youre spending that much. then use leftover dought for i/h/e

[MaX]

yes but you will be waaaaaaaaaaay faster with a turbo zc....

[im2fast4ucrx]

nah turbo zc will blow too soon if you don't build up the bottom end   and that will cost well over $2000   either do head work cams i/h/e and add the bottle   or get a b16   personnaly i would get the b16  for reliability   and ther fact that it is better for future mosd     if you want  in the future you can put 10 psi to it fairly safely

[SilverCRXSi]

So turboing a ZC cant be done?

What about on the SOHC VTEC d16z6? Can nitrous and turbo be done?

But I agree with everyone else though. Get the b16 and gimme your ZC and rims! :baa:

[crxrocks]

Na...they are full of shit.  There are plenty of guys out there running boost on a STOCK ZC.

I've had my ZC for about 3 1/2 months, I'm not gunna get rid of it. I was thinking trottle body and cams, but cams are so damn much for the ZC's, I want to get an underdrive e pully kit but I don't know what to get it from. I've heard of people doing up 75 shot of nos. I looked into that..bout a 50 shot and having it so it kicks in somewhere between 4-5,500 RPM. Thats bout $1,000.

[crxrocks]

You can pickup Crower regrinds for about $140.  That is pretty damn cheap for cams, even if they are regrinds.

Talk to SCZC about FI-ZC... he was pumping out 13's....  :rock:

[velocitySiR]

cough cough b16 , don't worry about blowing it up and build it later.

[SiRacer]

Na...they are full of shit.  There are plenty of guys out there running boost on a STOCK ZC.

Chris

yeah and there are plenty of guys out there with 18 inch rims   double decker aluminum wings    chipped ecu's so that there stock zc can rev to 9 grand  and body kits that sit 2 inches off of the ground
They are called ricers    or idiots and thats what you would be if you ran boost on a stock zc

oh yeah and did you ever actually take the time to figure out what you would really need to reliably  run boost on a n/a motor
1)  fuel system     rail, $150   filter, $60    pump, $175  injectors, prob $45 to $65 at a bone yard, regulator, $90, pressure guage $35       Theres $620

Ecu needs to be chipped to recognize boost   Who knows??
head needs to be polished to avoid detonation   $250
clutch needs to be upgraded     $350

Thers almost $1200 bucks   not to mention labour  unless you can do all of this yourself  which very few can,    dyno time
you need to remap the fuel curve    etc   etc   etc    there goes $2000     now unless you can find the turbo plumbing manifold etc for free  it aint gonna happen

oh yeah and the bottom end is still stock   so it'll still blow sooner or later        so add another $1000 bucks to build that up  and you have a reliable turboed zc   B16, Nitrous, or built zc soundin a little better?

a boosted zc will spank any b16 hands down.
who are you to say its rice or that the people who do it are idiots.... i think your an idiot for pulling that statement outta your ass.

you DONT need to chip your ecu.

there are different ways to deal with the fuel, you can simply buy an apexi afc, or simply just run an fmu.
and plus usually when you do a swap whether its zc or b16 you usually put in a good clutch to start out with.

the fact of the matter is a turbo zc has the ability to outmatch a b16 with its adjustability, and will last just as long as any b16 out there if your running enough boost to make the two engine's hp numbers the same.

[SiRacer]

I have a zc and if I were to spend $2000 all over again I would buy a fuel pressure regulator and guage  $150   then i would get I/H/E because you will need it to get any real gains in the future   $1000  then I would get the head shaved   port and polish 3 angle valve job   and get the throttle body bored 4 one thousands thers $700    these arer canadian prices so you would prob have aenough left over to get a set of urethane motor mount bushings and a set of camshafts    those regrinds are the shit   they are pretty much as good as any other    there's    50 to 65 hp for ya and a better  launch
and a crx with 180 to 195 hp will haul ass

[SiRacer]

ok phiber optic   and who in the fuck is going to turbo a zc to match the power of a b16    whats that 2 psi ??  and if you put boost to a stock zc you are not only a ricer and an idiot you are  a faggot a retard a jerk off and a fuckhole

but whatever go ahead and add 6 psi    add 10 psi for all i care  add 15 just see how long that bottom end lasts

so phiber optic  how much nitrous is safe on a stock zc     like 150 shot or what??      if you put boost to a stock zc you are a fool   if you build it right   you are a good tuner  
try and argue that asshole
