In the future I am going to buy a hatchback and was wondering the potential of a ZC motor. What kind of tranny is a ZC motor combatible with? Can you just use the stock tranny on a civic? I know there was a guy here with a Crx with a ZC running 13's. I know that ZC motors are alot cheaper than a B16. Also are ZC motors good for turbo?

 

john grosso ran a high 13 with his ZC all motor

 

the zc works with most d-series parts, and yes it will work with the civic trannies. i think the ZC's have good potential. but like any motor build up, the setup has to be planned out well.

 

How does a ZC respond to turbo? So when buying a turbo kit it would need D series turbo parts? This seems like the cheapest way to go. What car would be the easiest to swap a ZC in? I know its alot of question but im trying to find the cheapest way to be fast.

 

88-91 crx si's or hf, its a straight drop in

 

For the HF's do you need a new tranny or can you use the stock one?

 

stock

 

i know of a zc turbo in a 90 hatchback that has ran 12's , its a quick car.........

 

the zc is probably the cheapest dohc motor from honda u can get that still has great potential.

pm vtgringo (evan). hes in the western forums. btw...i think he recently spun his bearings on his zc motor at 10psi on his crx. im sure hell help u out.

 

hmmm more impatient would it be orange in color...my boy ran 12.9 ona turbo stock zc.....beasty lil fucker
