Pistons.. High compression/Low Compression and NA pistons for ZC
http://www.theoldone.com/components/pistons/
You will not want to use D16z6 pistons in a ZC motor, they will not be the correct c/r once you put them in a ZC, due to the differnt size (CC) of the head. I.E, put a 11.1 piston for a z6 in a Zc, you will probably get 10.1
Rods, pretty much all D16's use the same rod's
Eagle/Crower and others all work pretty good. The eagle rods are thicker and cheaper. But the crower's are supposivly a bit stronger with I-beam construction and cost a bit more.
Head gasket, you can pretty much only use a Stock 88-89 integra gasket, or HKS makes performance gaskets for Boosting ZC engines, but they cost alot.
Valve train parts for ZC's are incredibly hard to find parts for, Valve springs/retainers/keepers/valves and even camshafts can be tough to find.

Re:ZC N/A
I had web cams in my zc and they ran very hard. Get a set of sprockets while your at it. Besides that zc are a forgotten motor. Also a typical ecu upgrade will work fairly well. I went 14.10 with 20 inch slicks on my zc without any fi so it's a cheap good base.
