The aftermarket for those engines is slim to none.

ZC's can take many 4 and 5G mods with ease. The valvetrain is tricky to overhaul, but other than that you shouldn't have a problem. I personally love ZCs.

reason why people dont use the a1 is because the way the driver side mount is, you have to custom make a braket to bolt the engine into the car. i wouldnt recomend the a1 anyways, from the 2 that ive worked on both had burned valves and fried ring lands without any type of aftermarket parts.

Well, it's just that parts to redo a ZC head are few and far between.

Yes, an EG turbo kit will pretty much bolt up to the engine.
