D16zc Conversion
A buddy of mine suggested doing a ZC conversion on my D16y8 before I throw a turbo in it.
What am I looking at parts wise to make this happen?
Just so I can have an idea of the kind of work i'll need to put in

Re: D16zc Conversion
a ZC conversion on your Y8?
Pointless, you'd either be putting a Z6 head on, a D16A6 head on(lose vtec), or trying to put a DOHC ZC head on it, which won't work.
Tell your friend to shut his mouth.

Re: D16zc Conversion
Stang is right, your buddy is a moron but a DOHC ZC head on a SOHC block has been done before (twice that I know of) but it is largely pointless. IMO shim your stock oil pump before you boost it b/c, from what I've seen, that's the main mode of failure for Y8's.

Re: D16zc Conversion
I'm thinking he's talking about zc pistons; to change the compression ratio
Edit: you should look into a set of suzuki vitara pistons. Cheap, strong, same bore, low compression....

Re: D16zc Conversion
cool, thanks for the heads up...no point in wasting the money then. I'm very new to this whole thing, and having 3 friends who are mechanics and tuners and having them tell me 3 different things, confusing as fuck. I'll probably just end up getting the apexi vafc controller like I originally planned.

Re: D16zc Conversion
i know, im not saying they're both. Correction, 2 are mechanics and 1 is a tuner. Apparently not a good one though if he thought that the conversion was an ok idea as well.
