What do you mean? I've been using ARPs in my ZC for a long time now!

Look Familiar. Basically the same setup as mine, but with some slight differences. What are your HP Goals?

What CAM Gears? I got JE. And the a1 head fits the ZC Block!! Sweet, those are a dime a dozen around me! I see a P&P coming up in my future when I get time!

JD- I do plan on upgrading to a t3/t4 and a custom intake manifold somtime this summer, untill then the 63/60 will do.

Ravage70- the pistons are still looking good and mabey someday will still hit that 300hp mark.

Minor threat- Thezcr helped out with which ARP kit to order along with a lot of other usefull info.

Hotsex- You are so ------- funny :P

Bumblezc- HP goals are to double stock hp, 300 would be a bonus. Cam gears are aem's that came with the motor, not sure of what model there for but the exhaust gear marking is one tooth off. As for the a1 head, it does fit but needs a little shaved off for the left side motor mount to work. I picked the head up with a fresh deck, p&p, valve job and seals for less than I could have sent my zc head out to the shop. And those are the stock zc cams in the head of course.

Only 300? What boost numbers are you gonna push? I got a 300-350whp goal at about 23psi of boost with mine.

75.5mm SRP 9.2:1 CR
Eagles
Filled block
Delta Cams WIth ZC JE Gears
Modded OBX Intake
Sidewinder Manifold (not built Yet)
ARP Head Stud (VW 1.8L)
OBD1 Conversion
3bar map
TullosTech EBC for 11-14psi and 17-22.5psi Settings
t3/t04b

Yada Yada.

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

since everyone's disscussing there zc builds (and goals)

i just built my dohc, it's back to na. at the time (im breaking it in)

75mm srp pistons 8.0:1 cr (i know super low)
eagle rods
oem gaskets/seals
arp headstuds
delta cams w/ je cam gears (looks like we both go to zcr.com)
gay-m-s valves,springs,and retainers

turbo kit to go on after break in:

t3 turbo .42/.48 (i know it's a small turbo...lookin for a bigger one) (internal wg also :-[)
hf manifold
jrc 5"fmic
dsm blue top injectors
pr4 w/turbo edit (im going to buy a wideband, lookin at a plx-m300)
2.5" piping and exhaust (dp also)

i hope to break the 300whp mark......(but i know i have to go bigger on the turbo...and since my cr is real low im gonna boost the ---- out of it)

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

sweet setup , that turbo is acceptable for a start, but keep us updated when you change it to a matured one

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

What, no nig nog setting?

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

Oh, I know there are ways of getting ARPs in the engine.

I'm saying I'm happy the DOHC guys have nailed down exactly which kit works, rather than hearing "Well the VW/B16 kit works but you have to modify studs sometimes." And my local shop can't order individual part numbers :(

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

the engine is built that well and yorue running a restrictive stock HF manifold? you can port the ---- out of it and make it flow pretty well though, but be sure to do that or else youre going to bottle neck the engine, well the small t3 is already doing a good job at that but i suppose its a good breakin turbo setup? dont push too much boost or it'll heat up and detonate and start melting your pistons

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

It's not particularly well built.

Stock > SRP

Dogshit > What Scottsi knows

Re: Pics of new zc im just finishing up
 

how much can you find a zc in a junkyard for........im just looking for if they are cheap or expensive...
