SOHC ZC Motor help/ideas?
i recently bought a 90 CRX and it came with a sohc zc non-vtec. I dont have the budget to buy a b-series motor so i want to do what i can with this motor. i am very new to this sort of thing. What can i do to make this motor comparable to a b series and maximize its potential? Where do i start? would 1800 to 2000 be enough?

if i boost the motor will i have to change any other parts? how much psi can i run on the stock motor? Is it worth the money to turbo and buy a vtec head? What type of turbos are good? lol like i said im new to all of this!

But if your staying NA. You can build a fast SOHC engine for sure despite what other people tell you.
I have a 94 sohc zc non vtec that runs 13's NA.Pushing 161 whp with 134tq.
I would suggest Bisi for your cam and cam gear and valvetrain. thats a good place to start. Mill the the head 0.40",P29's, a good I/H/E plus a tune. You can make things happen. Compression and beefey cams are your friends!

The choice of cam on the other hand makes a difference. If your going for boost, buy the level 1.2 cam which is made for it. Otherwise go for the apporpriate level N/A cam which matches your forthcoming mods.

What times are you running......13's in a NA d is definetly not a waste of time....especially when you can do it way cheaper then a swap!
Anybody can swap....but when you build a bad *** d......thats respect!
