true, true.

 

can anyone tell me if this engine can handle boost?

 

im sure it could because i think the only diff is the compression ratio and the stroke length (right?). and Z6s stand up pretty well to forced induction. I would rather turbo a DOHC or at least a motor with a lower compression ratio, though.

 

check your other thread.

 

I am boosting 8psi on it.

It handles boost nicely. The internals aren't that of a usual d15b, like the b2 or b7, they are stronger like the d16z6.

I have been running 8psi for almost 2000 miles now without a single problem, doesn't burn any oil either, which is surprising cause most turbo people do.

 

Good info, thanks fook. A local guy here wants me to put a 15G kit on his and I wasn't sure about the rod similarities between the D15B and the B7. :goodjob:
