I used to have a zc in my 4dr. It was pretty quick compared to the original 1.5L motor. I ran a 15.6 @88 in the quarter mile. The car would keep up with stock GSR integras. Unswapped civics...etc. The ZC I had seemed to beat on pretty good. It finally blw up after about 1 1/2 years in the car. I then swapped it for a b16a which I have now. Overall the ZC was fun but it wasn't too great.

would they blow up under normal driving conditions or would you really have to run it like crazy for it to blow up
