ok ive played around with the compression calculator and couldnt find a good piston combo for my engine. cant find anything at all for this engine actually.
I am considering going b.
but ive just did this swap in to my 93 eg sedan this summer, boosted it and someting broke! F K!
Anybody done some good turboing on this engine or is it a dead end
my budget isnt that hi so have this in mind.
Any reply would be appriciated.
THANKS

I was boosting 9-10 psi with a t25. For fuelmanagment i have a fmu.
I know i boosted to hi but i got boost happy.
Have taken off all turbo stuff and i am running na. because my turbo died too and was burning oil. tested compression the result was not good
1.150 2.160 3.170 4.150. no smoke for exhaust.
i dont know if you need more info or not

not sure on what those compression results are of but i belive 120 is as low as it should go for each cylinder. second off theres tons of parts for the ZC. how about you give us a price range and we all will see what we can put together as for parts for you and ill show you companies that make stuff and such. otherwise if you need more zc info check out www.thezcresource.com
ive been there for awhile and everyone there will be more than happy to help but otherwise give us a price to work with

9-10psi on the FMU = buy a new engine.
