i think the te04h came from the leberon....im not sure about when it would spool(but id say at low rpm). as far as injectors get a set of dsm blue tops (440cc) they came from turbo'd talons (and i think supra's) there always for sale in the for sale section (about $45-$60). and if you have a chiped pr4 (i assume you have turbo edit) ditch the fmu(dont use the fmu). As far as the fuel pump..... when i ran 8 psi on my t-25 (also a dohc zc) i was using stock fuel pump, but if you got the money mise well. If you need an adapter plate again look in the classifieds you can get an adapter plate for around $60 (or just make 1), you will have fun with a boosted zc for awhile but you will always want to go faster (so id say get a bigger turbo) my old set-up was:
-dohc zc (stock)
-hf manifold/ t-25 turbo
- dsm blow off valve--no intercooler
-pr4 ecu w/ turbo edit and dsm injectors


i ran that set-up for a year with no problems, but now im in the process doing a new build...i wanted more boost

that sheds a little light on the turbo you have..you shouldnt need to upgrade a fuel pump if you only plan on running 8 psi..and as far as spooling..it will spool up quickly like 2stockrocketz said. However, it will leave you wanting more top end.

90zcrex ran a smaller sized turbo on his DOHC ZC (t25 i think).(.i dont know if that is bigger or smaller than the te04h) and he said it will leave you wanting more power..but it'll do just fine for a little while until you get used to the power. THen you're gonna want more ..just SEARCH some more all the answers can be found on this website you just might have to dig for a while..hopefully this helps..

well i thought 8 psi would be good starting point since i have never driven a boosted car before.i know the zc can handle 10 all day long but i dont want to push my luck.i know it weill be fast on 8 pounds.like i said im new at this still so keep the suggestions coming.

yea anything smaller than a t25 on a zc is prolly a waste of money and time, you prolly can go a lot better with 14b, which is pretty cheap.
