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!

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?

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.
