I have a fresssh jdm zc motor that pulls HAAARD. Ive had my car for only a month... already slammed it.. control arms and powercoated my "jdm" steelies... my goal power wise is too loose traction on the highway...

Where should i begin? I found a turbo setup for only 200.. missing a few parts. What type of tranny should i go for??

$200 not bad i would get it as long as the turbo doesnt need to be rebuilt. it'll wind up costing more to repair then get a new turbo. i would buy the kit just for parts like manifold, oil lines, piping, bov, fmic,

you can't rule out the si cable tranny. its a good tranny for highway. my EX is pushing 3500 rpm on the freeway in fifth at 65 mph. Sad

shit, sounds like the races in your city are pretty good. ours are small here in reno. there are a few quick cars here. a boosted mustang gt, a boosted, fully built, sleeved, bored, ek hatch running a gsr on 19lbs that is pushing 556 hp. there is a k20 ef 4door, a k20 eg. but i feel you on the boost option. single cams are slow.

From what i heard.. the single jdm ZC is better then DOHC ZC.. the single ZC has more potential!!!!

The SOHC non VTEC JDM "ZC" is practically identical to the d16a6 in the CRX SI & EX models, has about 14hp less factory HP at the fly then the DOHC too.

There's more potential because you can use regular D series parts, which are well supported.
