ok if i redo my engine with.........pistons, valves, rods, valve spring, valve retainers, cam shaft, crank shaft, all fuel delivery, flywheel, clutch, cam gear, timing belt, now if i do this will i loose lots of oil and screw my motor up with 10-15 lbs of turbo cuz i was told "no matter what i do with any motor it will still loose oil and prolly blow up" is this true ihave a d16z7 and wanna buy a greddy turbo kit

you have a lot of reading to do

Oh, and dont listen to whoever is telling you that

On a Greddy kit, you could easily make 220-240whp which is within the safe range for a stock D series. You shouldnt worry about rebuilding it at the moment. Also, as i'm sure many people will tell you, you cant base your goals in terms of psi...instead you should base them in terms of whp.

you could run 10 lbs of boost on a stock z6 all day

Saying things like this doesn't make any progress forward. It merely spreads misinformation. I'm not trying to be an ***, rather i'm trying to make people realize that power is what breaks parts, not PSI. There are several threads that cover this in detail in the FAQ at the top of the FI forum

btw, i just realized you're from Minot.

Yeah, I don't know why everyone always thinks this. I guess it could also depend on the tuner you might go to as well. For example I know that its about how much WHP you put down but the tuner in my area wont tune over 10lbs on a stock internal motor (even if you run a 3bar map sensor). So that might be the logic behind some people statements?

Schister66

That shows a bit of ignorance on his part, but at the same time, he's probably just covering his ***

Schister66 what do you mean??? I was just saying that you dont need to build up a z6 to get alot of hp.. im not saying go boost 10lbs on your z6 that would be dumb , but 8lbs would be perfect and would hold fine....

AbitAvenger

honestly dude i boosted 12lbs on a z6 with over 220k on it for over 20k more and then on another newer z6 (30k) with 16lbs and race gas. sometimes its a freak motor lol had a felpro headgasket too haha

all of this street tuned btw

The whole PSI thing is where people go wrong. If you were to run a small turbo like a 14b, you could run 16psi on it because that's what it will take to get to 220-240whp on a D series; whereas, if you had a GT40R and ran 8psi, you'd make 400whp. There's a huge difference there.

PSI is merely a measure of flow through the engine and turbo. It doesn't mean anything about volume or power creation. There is even variation between different setups using the same turbo. For example, someone running an S256 like me who has a ton of headwork done and a very free-flowing exhaust may make 400whp at 14psi. Another person with the same engine but with small cams and no headwork may take 16psi to get to 400whp. Its all a function of flow and resistance. Therefore PSI is not a determining factor. You must look at the power created. That determines your goals

Listen to this man!

4dek

im running 8psi stock d16 all day 244hp and no problems yet been boostin 7 months now..hehe but i dont go crazy everyday may be that helped it a little. but if you rebuild your engine your basically converting your engine for turbo so it shoul last you long like many boosted honda on here. people who say honda isnt meant to be boosted doesnt own a honda
