y8 head on a d16z6 block..what ya think? i wanna turbo it

 

from what ive read in the past, i think thats called a "mini me"

and i think the d16z6 head is better for boost...

But i still call me a noob so ....

 

mmm stick with ur current head... it will have a lower compression thatn the y8... and lower compression is good to turbo ur engine...

 

I have been reluctant to ask about it in the past but...

"y8 head on a d16z6 block.."

what are d16z6's put on? :dunno:

 

go wit the z8 head... it has better compression for the turbo....

 

is there anything wrong with you z6 head? If not, don't bother. If so, there shouldn't be any big advantage either way. Don't do it as a "performance upgrade" the heads are close to identical anyway.

 

i would go with the z6 head

 

d16z6's came in the 5th gen's generally in the EX (vtec motor)



honestly, if your looking to go the turbo route, i'd leave it alone. Only thing that you might want to concider is changing internals & what not for the amount of boost that your are going to want to run. If your going to want to run anything more than bout 8-10lbs. then your going to want to change out some of your internals.

Stock compression on the z6 is nice for the turbo application!

 

yeah the Z6 has better flow, lower compression its like 9.2 vs 9.6
