Turbo that bish & run 6-8 psi.. Best way to go unless u want to play with nitrous. I've been in both worlds & nitrous runs empty!

There isn't much to be gained from high flow fuel rails without additional upgrades (like a turbocharger), because you don't need that much fuel right now. The ECU also doesn't benefit you very much without something else on the engine. Your best bets are either forced induction or just plain swapping the engine for a B series (or both ).

im going to turbo my z6 to. i think im going to use the greddy kit mainly because it is pretty complete and you can rebuild the turbo if it breaks. a lot of power can be found with the little d series motors, except for the non-vtecs. to learn more about that stuff, try turbod16.co or try here
http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html for some more turbo info. sorry to hog your thread, but can a ball-bearing turbo be rebuilt?

The only way to get power out of that one cam wonder is turbo...

turbo really is the only way to get decent numbers out of a sohc honda. I've heard of some NA ones for track racing but honestly the amount of work that would have to go into a d series to push out even ok numbers really isn't worth the money. Just turbo it or if you have the money get a swap.
