Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

This is the crx ive owned for a couple years now, the body just keeps getting worse but the engine keeps getting better so I keep it. Over the winter I rebuilt a zc I got off a ricer kid who "could never get it running right". It came with a light blue valvecover and timing belt cover and a whole bunch of problems including the kid cut off the intake manifold with a ------- sawzall because he couldnt get it off :1 So its got a d16a1 IM on it with a custom adapter plate to a 60mm throttle body taperd to 64mm.

So here is the rundown

zc block devcon filled, oil passages worked over, .020 over

d16a1 head and intake manifold, both ported and polished. head has fresh valve job and crespo springs which im still iffy on.
metal headgasket
srt4 arp head studs
eagle rods
JE pistons- 11:1 c/r in vtec motors. I did a compression check 160-160-160-160 psi
six puck from lsdmotorsports
turbo manifold-csaddict special, thanks man
tial 38mm wg- open dump
3"downpipe to 3"kteller full exhaust with magnaflow
t3/t4 54 trim turbonetics
stealthmode oil lines, what else would you use?
obd1 po6 running crome tuned with lm1
adjustable fpr, walboro 255, dsm 450's and the dsm bov

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

video is being optimized...wtf ??

so what kind of compression dose it have in a zc ?

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

160psi is about 8:1

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Looks like u need a set of plug wires, lol. Nice tho i bet she rips.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

You said the body just keeps getting worse, so I looked at that first picture thinking, "that's not that bad..." then I saw the next ones ;D

nice setup, anything turbo is better than driving a car that looks like it should be fast but isn't.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

11:1 160 PSI? :o i think that's wrong..i remember that a guy with a little less compression to you got abuot +220 PSI or so.. ??? (i think ..)

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

read, it says 11:1 in VTEC motors.. not with the ZC head.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

nice set up..now get that ---- painted 8)

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

oh, i see...

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Thanks.


Yea, those numbers seemed REALLY low for 11:1 c/r pistons, but the head made a HECK of a difference wow. How is that car running an OBD1 ECU? Conversion harness and a little extra motor wiring?


EDIT: Your movie description says t3/t3.

I need to take a ride in the beast.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

You're big pimpin. I have to call a barbeque soon. TC in da house. O0

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Did a little tuning today, got it turned up to 16psi and it rips hard >:D. Ill have to work on a better vid

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Make sure to bring it over before you blow it up. >:D

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

hey for the guy who posted this topic where did u get those cam gears from and are u running cams in that car cause i have a dohc zc and it runs good on 8 pis im looking for cams and cam gears...have any ideas..

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

yea also interested what motor the gears are for i hear the d16 ones dont work but the b-series do whats up

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

The cam gears are AEM's they came with the motor when I bought it. They are for B series because the marks on the exhaust gear are one tooth off. There are holes through the cam caps and cams which indicate when your at tdc. The B series work fine you just need to ignore the exhaust cams tdc marks. I am using stock cams for now, when im ready to upgrade ill send mine into crower to be reground. Here is the info I got when I emailed them..

Regrinds on your stock cams are available. Specs are typically 10-15
degrees
more duration and .010"-.015" more lift. HP gains are in the 5-15 range
depending on tuning. Rough idle is common if we exceed the above
figures.

Cost is $95 per cam. Allow 1 week shop time + shipping. Send cores
along
with detailed note stating engine model, intended application, power
adders
(turbo, NOS, etc), rpm range to address below.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Web cams, Gude, and JG used to make gears and cams for D16A1/8/9, EW3/4, and D15A2/3 I don't think they were big cams just like 264* or 268* something like that. Old Skool POWA!

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

i have stage 2 exospeed cams in mine and i love them they are a tad bit milder than a stage 2 skunk 2 but they shift the band great how a stock cam zc starts pulling real hard about 3500 mine pulls from 1000-7500 hard and doesnt give up. coantact exospeed for details

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

i Miss my ZC RIP little buddy.

Its OK im buying another 4 door and it shall find a new home their. :)

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Julio- I really liked the last four door I saw of yours, I remember the pics from when you were selling your chunt?? ass wheels I believe they were ::) Anyway I wanted to buy those wheels but shipping would have killed the good deal. Sometimes I think I should put my zc in a four door like that to get even more of the sleeper affect.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

i was like wtf, that looks like aaron's car, green door n all :P

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

damn bro i have the same motor on 8psi what boost are u running and whats your rev limit...thats a real shitty 60 foot but thats a low 13 sec car if u get a better lanch...whats your rev limit and whats your boost at..

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Damn! 2.5 60 ft's! Once you get used to launching it you should be able to get it down to 2.0 60 ft's and be running low 13's. Nice work. Inspiration for many.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

i guess its really hard to cut your 60' down when your spinning... ;)

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

im running 15psi and reving to 7300rpm's. Im trying to learn how to launch this thing its just not workning out to well. I rebuilt my .63/.60 yesterday and put it back on so im getting spool up about a thousand rpms sooner than with the t3/t4. Now im going to start looking for a pair of slicks for the next sport compact days.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

i just ran my car at the track and it ran 13.9 at 100mph with lots of tire spin with 2.2 60foot..stock dual zc motor on 8 psi..

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

yo daubleaaron what rad and fan are you running?? i cant seem to find one that will fit! i bought an after market 92-95 one but its too long. do you have a after market traction bar? let me know please. and you set up seems nice bro.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

^ that radiator support for the stock radiator needs to go, cut that ---- out and make your own support lower than the stock one. I used some aluminum stock from holms depot. The radiator is from ebay for a 92-95 civic and the fan is my stock one from my crx.

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

Question, who ported the head and IM???

Re: Pics of my first dual cam zcrx
 

The head was ported by some shop down south. I bought the head off ebay for a decent price. The intake manifold I did myself in my kitchen ;)
