Adding power to the DOHC ZC Engine

Adding power to the DOHC ZC Engine
My new hatchback has a DOHC ZC engine
I test drove it and it's a lot stronger than my D15B2, but i am looking for a little bit more than that
So this is what I am upgrading right now...
Si tranny (the car comes with slow CX tranny...2000rpm at 100km/h)
11lb lightweighted flywheel
NGK high output spark plugs
2.75" catback exhaust
Ported T/B
Ported Intake Manifold
Cold Air Intake
Chipped ECU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so is there any other good ways to gain more power from this engine? i was so mad at myself that didn't spend a little extra money for a B18C but since i got this motor i am going to stick with it.
I am looking for something that is close to B16A or faster
anyone who can help?

its the down pipe of the head that might need to be modded to fit properly.
Why dont you just get some head work done? shave the head, get a valve job, if you have the money get a PP done. Tuned ECU cams, cam gears, valve train. Throwing a turbo on a ZC is rather pointless not just becuase the high compression but the top of teh pistons are dome shape and tend to blow piston rings with boosted.
If you get all that work done... then your exhaust would be more benifical than pointless.

Change your exhaust and get a header. I tried a Lightspeed and Genie header they both needed to be matched.
Also that chip...what is it? ZC? Mugen?

i just found out that i am currenly on P07(VX ECU), i have no idea how they put that into my ZC and it's freaking slow!!! it runs so lean that the car just stop making power after 5500rpm
and i dunno what chip, i was told it's chipped and needs to run 91octane...and it has a 8100rpm redline, but i will give it a try

sorry I don't exactly know that much about ZCs or what they can do but for the price of all that stuff that you're doing, can't you pick up a b18a/b or a b16a and toss it in? thats a already a nice little boost =p

man just get a nice header port match it with a nice 2 inch mandrel bent exhaust with a nice vibrant flat black sleeper muffler high flow cat with a resonator a zc ecu, nice clutch (exedy race organic). And call it a day run 15 flat to real low 15's. pepy littel dd, cause only way to go faster if to boost it. You could go buy a jackson racing zc supercharger kit or a d series greddy turbo kit. Stock internal zc can handle light boost allday long 160-170 whp all day long.

the fuel cutoff is 6500rpm btw...
i got a chipped P06 ECU on hand, but haven't install yet
and yes it's OBD1, what other ECUs i can use?
