I put this guide together because I'm tired of seeing the SAME threads over and over of simple questions that can be answered in one simple post like this one. This thread is designed to be an end-all, tell-all type thread. Please keep in mind though, that this is still just a general guide...

there's NO WAY you had 133 mph trap speeds with 15.9 1/4 times!....must be a typo. More like 80 MPH.

it shouldn't be off at all. I've done it many times and currently have the same setup in my del slow....b7 bottom with z6 head. Possibly ur ignition timing is off? But, If i were you, i'd retime that motor. set block to TDC, and align the cam gear with the head. loosen tensioner pulley. slide on...

I would go with a 2.5 inch exhaust if you plan to rev that high with that high compression. I would skip any aftermarket coil. Go to Import Builders website and read up on their theory behind this.

Yep, clutchcityonline.com that's where i got my clutch from...found it to be the cheapest there.

Exedy Pressure plate was not faulty. Bet you didn't know that "EXEDY" makes all the stock clutches and pressure plates for all the hondas? Yep, the OEM clutches are made by "Daikin"...aka...EXEDY. Why would Honda trust them? I've had my exedy stage one for 25k and it still grabs like day one...

SMART guy!

In my opinion, blockgaurds are a waste of money, and actually do more harm. Only people who have experience using them will agree with me. I had one on a Turbo LS motor built for boost. It had an ITR water pump and aftermarket fan. Motor still overheated. The blockguard sits around the top of...

I would run the P2P for now for plugability. later, convert to obd1 and run a chipped P28 for tunability.

Definitely Y8. I'm sure everyone here will agree with me on this one. It has smaller combustion chambers for higher compression, and it also has quench pads, which help against detonation. Not sure how the head flows against the Z6 tho. Besides, the Z6 has the red-headed stepchild...

well, i was wrong, i can admit it, so calm down. As for stock B16's puttin down more than 145 HP stock, i haven't seen it, that's all. Every dyno is different and some read higher than others. SiR II B16's are rated at 170HP also. Anyways, congrats on the numbers. i do know for a fact tho, that...

Pics are now up... But i'm seriously contemplating sending her off to the machine shop while it's already out. Im getting a quote tomorrow on: Install PR3 pistons (stock for all they know) Install new rings (HASTINGS OR OEM?) Install new rod bearings (ACL OR OEM?) Install new rod bolts (ARP)...

you just said exactly what i said. D16Y8 w/ ZC (P29) pistons i think 160 is doable with tuning. All the SOHC D16 blocks are the same except for the pistons.

your best mod for the money would be to throw in some ZC pistons or D16a1 pistons. You'll get more power out of that and a good cam then ALL of those other bolt on's combined. There's really no reason to do a complete bolt-on SOHC motor....unless you raise the compression. Good build using...

What does any of that have to do with the tires spinning? .....LOL.
