ZC Forged?
Finally got some cash saved up after many painfull hours 
Anyone here achieved reasonable horsepower on a ZC engine with forged pistins & rods?
The plan is for decent t3t4 :P
Oh search button doesn't work
Cheers anyone with feedbaKK

Re: ZC Forged?
DOHC I assume? Some people have done easy 250whp with that motor stock, but thats mainly from the thicker oem rods. From my understanding, dohc zc's have larger ports, so it should be able to flow as good as any sohc vtec head. The only issue would be price, as the closest usdm zc motor is the 86-89 teg motor. The word acura usually doubles the price of gaskets.

400 with rods and pistons seems to be the high hp numbers for a d-series

I do realise this is a ------ question .. :P Just wanted to see what others have achieved by 15+ psi on a zc engine.
Price of an engine is'nt really an issue - as they're dirt cheap here in NZ anyways so that leaves more cash left for the engine build itself
cheers for your help
