hey shem. long time no hear.
1.6 ZM going forged
- Thread starter Witchdoktor
- Start date
Yeh, I creep along from here to there, but I have been following this thread since the past week or so.
You've gotten so far with your pro. Things that I dreamed about doing to mine but never did. I actually wanted to build the 1.6 and swap a ZL-VE head onto my 1.6. That never happened. I probably would have ended up spending a gazillion dollars on that build.

nope. biknman said the ecu doesn't adjust well to the timing and customizing the valve cover is a pita. just not worth the hassle.
as far as cost that you asked, I'll break it down in the end. biknman is parting out his car so that doubled my parts total right there - lol. I just couldn't say no.

Posting pics of the engine soon?
btw i think this is a great build for a cheap price.. as long as i remember you said bearings 100.. and some other stuff.. around 600 bucks total?
Fyi
Below is a picture of my block that has never be opened since it was sealed up at the factory. We just took the head off about week ago. What you are seeing is a 99 1.6 ZM short block with about 110,000 miles on it of which the last 30K where boosted at between 6-10 psi and of those 30K miles the last 300 miles where at 20+ psi in race car trim (IE not street driven). The entire time is was boosted AFR where always kept generous i.e. 11:1 at 8 psi or higher along with methanol injection bigger inter-cooler as the boost got higher and close eye on not only AFRs but EGTs. FYI we actually lost power usually 10-20 whp with the higher fuel ratio and methanol which could be balnced out a little with timing but the motor could take 24 psi all day. 24 psi did cost me a couple trannies though
.
Enjoy,
Tons more pics in my new album click link in my sig.

With proper management a forged rotating assembly with good flow though the head and the power adder of a turbo this motor is going to kick ass and kick ass all day long the ZM is the little unknown secret believe I know.
Keep the updates coming bro!

Wow i wish i could put a turbo and tune it with all that stuff
At least a supercharge for mine.. not sure about price tho
Ever see a 3gen Protege laid out for dispaly like this
Great pics! How come you're parting out?
To many race cars not enough time. If your interested in any anything your more than welcome to stop by some time and check stuff out. Or if you want to see the car before it history. PM me and I'll send ya my address. FYI lots of pictures can be found here: http://biknman.shutterfly.com/action/
I hate to get in on Danny's thread for a forged motor build. Sorry Danny. But the car was pure NON street legal trailed supermodified PHA S2 class race car for the last three years. Current project was an 03 WRX wagon, now with 532 WHP @24 psi just slightly modified Suby Wagon frankensteion race car. I'm preparing for the Pennsylvania Hill climber Association 08 Hill-climb (SOLO1) series in the S3 class and few TTs in the unlimited or super modified classes. I'll post pics of the project along with racing it in my album.

Not to hijack the thread Witchdoktor, but on the the subject, does anybody know what size the stock 1.6L injectors are? I'm almost done to start installing the turbo but would like to know the stock injectors size and how much PSI they can handle???, i'll stay at 5psi for a few months before i up to 8-10.
