---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRIMARY QUESTION! WHAT KIND OF HEADER DO I USE?:devil:

[Type - O]

depends on what you want.....for simple shit exhaust and intake. im not sure if other d16 made stuff (pistons and rods) will fit a zc.

[meeezy'sEF]

I Want Almost Anything U Can Do To It...i Want To See How Far I Can Take This Lil Nice Motor Lmk What Else Thx

[ef9sleeper]

There is alot to do to that motor, good choice. Pm me and I'll tell you some things i know of that make good power.

[Type - O]

shit well if you want that then turbo (or super charge) away bro. get some SRP or ARIAS pistons with eagle or tuner toy rods. balance your crank for high RPM, port and polish your head, sleeve your block, nice turbo and tune with hondata or neptune

[meeezy'sEF]

Mmmmm Turbo Sounds Tasty! Thx Bump.....sleeper Pm'ed

The ZC bottom end is compatible with 1.6 SOHC stuff, and vice-versa.

There is a few companies that do regrind cam profiles for the DOHC ZC.

I don't think anyone makes an off-the-shelf aftermarket IM for the DOHC ZC.

i havent heard of any intake manis bein made for them. but i would just use a D16Z6 head or a Y8 head. putting the Y8 head on a stock ZC bottom end will take you to 12.6:1 compression! a Z6 head is 12.2:1

[meeezy'sEF]

Thx Everyone...keep Dem Coming....!

Answer To Primary Question. I Have A Dohc Zc And I Am Using 92-95 Civic One Piece Dc Sports Headers, With A Apex World Sports 2 Catback Exhaust System. Good Power And Doesnt Sound Annoying (bees).

[ILIKETODRIVE]

You can't put an SOHC head on a DOHC block without tons-o-mods.

Here's a thread of a dude that did a DOHC head on an SOHC block. Way more trouble than what it's worth: http://www.d-series.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47496

thats not really tons of mods. all that is, is redrilling head bolt holes. thats not to hard if you have a milling machine like i do!! :thumbup:

[meeezy'sEF]

Dam Chris I'm Gonna Have To Find My Self A Head Than....pm Me A Price For When I Get The Head I Can Just Hit You Up Alright Thx!

Oh Yeah And I Didn't Really Understand The Thing About The Cams!

[Type - O]

the cams are spun by a belt connected to the crank. the belt has to have something to spin the cams with, THOSE are the cam gears. you change the cams gears w/ B series cam gears so you can get better intake and exhaust timing which will equal more power. i have a Z6 head if you want it

[meeezy'sEF]

Oh I Understant Now...thx Brotha So Are Hoe W Much Are You Asking For The Z6??? Vtec Correct?

[meeezy'sEF]

Myron Arent All Headers The Same....just Asking Cus You Put 92-95 Civic Dc Sports Header So I Was Kinda Confused! But Lmk Cus I Was Planning On Using A Normal Single Cam Dc Header

[Type - O]

all D series headers are the same...i think. i know they all are you SOHC D's but not sure about the DOHC ZC.

[meeezy'sEF]

Dammit...can Anyone Find Out For Me What Type Of Header Do I Use For The Zc Thx!

[Type - O]

http://www.d-series.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-47.html here you go. basically any D series EM will fit but its gotta be ported a lil

[onefst91hatch]

any d series header will fit on the DOHC zc!

[Type - O]

OMG ARE YOU SURE!? lol jk

[onefst91hatch]

:blunt: for sure!

[meeezy'sEF]

But It Still Needs To Be Ported Right???

[ILIKETODRIVE]

If you read a little more, you'll see that he couldn't use dowel pins to line up the head and the block: He had to guess. DOH! Also, he had to use DOHC ZC stuff on an SOHC block. And no, not all D16A1 (86-89 Integra) parts are the same as the DOHC ZC.

But It Still Needs To Be Ported Right???

For it to flow properly, yes.

[onefst91hatch]

he didnt use dowel pins cuz he had to make the hole larger. i on the other hand could make dowel pins. and the swap wouldnt be as hard with a sohc head on a dual cam block!

[MYRON100]

Order My Headers From Powerhouse For Zc Dohc Motor, And That Is What I Got From Dc Sports. I Love The Headers. Did A Little Porting But The One Piece Header Is Pimp. But a bitch to put in had to remove tranny mount and lower the craddle a little but i work at a shop so it was ok

[meeezy'sEF]

oh i see...well i can just use my header and port it a little....anything else guys about the internal things that will give me power!

[Type - O]

well, again, do you want all motor or FI?

[meeezy'sEF]

:devil: All Motor Prob For Now.......!:devil:

[onefst91hatch]

Turbo Turbo Turbo Turbo Turbo Turbo Turbo! lol. you could build an awesome all motor zc

[meeezy'sEF]

Lol:clap: .....thats For Later Im Tryin To See What I Can Do With All Motor Thats Why I Made This Thread Cus I Want Help From Others So I Can Have A Stong All Motor Zc.....but Keep The Tips Coming Evryone! Im Getting My Tax Return Soon So This Shit Will Be Fully Built!!!!:bananaman: :smoke:

[Type - O]

i say shot peen your rods or get after market ones (tuner toys) so you can get lots of revs, then get some high comp pistons. SRP makes some 10.xx:1 pistons for like $3XX...tunertoys.com

edit: if you stay stock rods make sure to get ARP rod bolts

[meeezy'sEF]

GOTCHA THX...---->:thumbup:

[Type - O]

then if you wanna get really crazy, while you have your block disassembled you can balance your crank, get it micro polished, knife edge it, lighten your flywheel, port and polish your head

[meeezy'sEF]

How Much Would That Run Me????

[Type - O]

um...prolly close to 1000 give or take. but like i said thats if you wanna get crazy. did you look at the rods and pistons?

[onefst91hatch]

also get your cams reground. if your gonna be doin all that your gonna need a better cam profile!

[ILIKETODRIVE]

Do these if you want an NA ZC:

full rebuild with ARP rod bolts and head studs and bore it out and run oversized PM7's
regrind cams
new valvesprings/retainers (I believe A6 stuff works in the ZC: if they do, get Bisi valvesprings and new OEM retainers)
headwork (p-n-p, 3-angle, etc)

[fivesfe]

whats a good cam for the dohc zc? something that i can use the stock valvetrain with? and make good power with the stock(ish) redline?

[90civicdx]

no matter if you want to to boost or nitrous i have pistons for you and some eagle rods that will fit. 375

[ILIKETODRIVE]

I believe Delta has regrinds for the DOHC ZC.

[crx_family]

Crower has regrinds. And I think AEM now makes adj. cam gears for the ZC insted of using the B16 ones. The part # for the Cam gears we used is 23-602C from AEM

[koolarrow13]

just go to jgenginedynamics.com they offer some great stuff for zc's and they have a big reputation in the zc community. if you need answers on alot of zc related questions go to thezcr.com. it's an awesome forum with alot of helpful people.

[turboed-ef]

put the ctr under drive pulley

[89sizc]

go on thezcr.com they can tell you everything you want to know. intake and exhaust just buy the one for your car. any d series header will work fine. cams there are a few options gude being one of the better ones. rods same as d16 rods. pistons some d16 pistons will work but you can't put higher compression pistons in. jg engine dynamics makes cam gears and a intake manifold for it. and d16 throttle body works. jackson racing superchargers fit with an adapter plate. you can make the 92-95 greddy turbo kit fit, as well as others. the 88-89 integra ecu has better fuel and timing maps. there are quite a few that have 300+ relible turbocharged zc's any other questions post or pm me. also go visit thezcr.com

[2poor2tune]

i heard ls cams will work on the dohc zc heads. just what i heard tho.

[tokyospeedpros]

Wrong info. Not calling you out, just giving info and some obvious facts. Have you ever seen a ZC head comparitive to a LS head, quite the difference in length. Tell whomever told you that to stop talking.

cool. thanks for letting me know. i would hate to actually get somone to buy somthing and it not work. thanks

[turboed-ef]

these guys are fuckin idiots u cant but vtec on zc's

[fourstarcivic]

wow^^ good contribution right there^^ if you want good power for the dollar boost is going to be your best bet.

[meeezy'sEF]

Well I got it boosted now wat would be good pounds of boost to put on for a stock zc ??? And I'm getting different pistons soon so so I will be changing it! But for now wat do u guys think?

[fourstarcivic]

stock might want to stay around 6ish psi anyone know if vitara pistons would work out well for him?

[Manga_Spawn]

Wow this thread hurts to read. Go here

http://www.d-series.org/forums//forumdisplay.php?f=10

And do some serious reading/asking questions. The zc has parts made for it but you have to hunt around. THey aren't like B series where you can just look anywhere. Join D-series and start reading.

[2poor2tune]

yes please read read read before asking how much boost to run and all that kind of stuff. it all depends on what you want in the end. but i would fully build the motor if it is comming apart at all. you might as well. its a d series. they cost next to nothing to build. and then you can go fast

[ILIKETODRIVE]

these guys are fuckin idiots u cant but vtec on zc's

In English, please? :(

There is more than 1 version of the ZC. There is:

-DOHC ZC (OBD-0/OBD-1/OBD-2)
-SOHC ZC non-VTEC (identical to a D16A6 - OBD-0/OBD-1/OBD-2)
-SOHC ZC VTEC (identical to a D16Z6 - OBD-1/OBD-2)

Next time, don't comment on stuff you don't know about. :hi:

Shoot, I keep learning new stuff about the D every single day.

It's an ongoing process with no end in sight. :(
