Hey Lance its time to get your self a new motor right? :rick? looking good, did u spray it in a booth or the garage?

 

did it in my garage so there's quite a bit of dust to wet sand out. New motor? I just got mine broke in

 

I was hinting towards putting ur motor in the sol and get a b or k in yours....

 

d16 fo lyfe


I've got enough power for now

 

keep the d-series. That thing has a lot of potential, no need to blow a bunch of cash swapping and building another motor!

trust me.. not worth it, that d-series will easily produce 12'sec time slips & maybe even 11's

 

My car has a stock d16z6 in it.. you think if i wanted to get roughly 300hp to the wheels, that the motor would be perfectly fine for that?

 

i was talking specificly about the motor in lances car (fathergoat) it's built with forged internals. Yours will fail without a bunch of work! lol

 

Oh i know that.. im just saying that in general the d16z6 is a good motor to build up.. if i were to build a motor.. or is it worth it to buy a better block?

 

if you get forged pistons and rods for the D16Z6 it's good for about 300 on 93 octane and about 400 on 110 octane or E85. there are also a lot of people running vitara pistons with forged rods and getting just as much. search for fjt distributors, they sell a budget bottom end kit for the d-series.

 

hell the guy who bought my old sol with the built motor made 415hp, of course ive come to learn that he used nitrous on the pull but still thats damn good power
