The only difference between a stock NSv3 and a ZV4 is the spider, coil, and motor.

Since the motor is the same, your left with a spider and coil.

IIRC the NSv3 spider is a little bit stiffer due to the couple more layers that are pressed together.

The ZV4 uses an 8 layer aluminum coil that comes in dual 2 or dual 4

The stock NSv3 coil is a 4layer aluminum coil that comes in dual .7 or dual 1.4

Now a stock NSv3 gap is huge, the coil is huge, fitting the stock NSv3 coil into a ZV4 I dont think is possible (im saying that because I never had to tear down any of their new drivers personally so dont know the exact specs)
However the NSv3 gap can be shimmed out a varity of different ways to use almost any coil from the multiple different versions of the Z, X, or NS line.

The different shims and the ability to change these options are to suit the woofer for the owners wants and needs to give him the best possible woofer in his setup.

But lets say that the NSv3 coil fits into the ZV4 gap , the increased power handling would be about 400 to 500 watts conservatively.

I say this because put the higher wattage coil into a weaker motor does not always automatically mean more power.

The first issue your going to have is the motor and the strength to convert the power to output, not only that but if that motors cooling cant keep up with the added power you will smoke the coil.

Also just because a coil from a higher powered woofer is used doesnt mean its just so that the woofer can handle more power, sometimes its for the response that is wanted out of the woofer, such as a different moving mass, a higher fs, maybe a tighter gap to change the bl.
