Hey guys, I'm looking to boost my DOHC ZC. Any opinions or wut not on this? Looking for the best cams for the application, and other equipment, since I don't really have any knowledge about boosting,. Anyone know how many psi this motor can hold?

Knowledge is key......do some research. Nobody can tell you what to use, do some searching and see what the majority of ppl are using. Tuning is key.....low boost can fack the motor w/o tuning

you are in luck, I have a boosted DOHC ZC in my 4th gen civic..
the block has eagle rods, and JE pistons, roughly 9:1 compression ratio, if you are into getting turbo cams, checkout www.exospeed.com, he does re-grinds for d16a1 & zc cams,
as far as the turbo goes look at a larger turbo IE : t3/o4e or H models, something that will make boost in the 3-4k range, then will kick even higher as RPM's increase,
the dohc zc will hold 7-10 psi daily driven all - stock motor, WITH good timing, tuning and running 94 octane fuel, dont ever get cocky with boost, you will find yourself a nice hole in the block
