I wouldnt do a y8 head swap....do the Z6....ive heard that they breath and flow more air

If your only plannin on running one bar I would upgrade the whole entire bottom end......rods, pistons . If your not limited on a budget sleeve it with a bigger bore

TUNING IS THE KEY!!!! I cant stress that enough!

Exospeed.com has great prices and from what Ive heard they do great work...

how much are you planning to spend on your fuel management?

1 bar w/ that turbo should be fine on stock y7

I have seen guys running that much boost on stock bottom.....but I havent heard to many cases

But I dont agree with you that people have done it

I dont wanna push my **** that high on stock block. My tuning will be uberdata w/ 450's and walbro 255lph pump. Plus have plans for a larger turbo setup in the future.

If you have bigger plans in the future....why dont you do everything right the first time around.....IMO

That means that you dont have to change turbos, DP, and have to weld up more stuff....just easier....

MO, I would build it because of the future plans......

I like doing things in stages I guess. Makes me feel more accomplished lol. I dunno. I hate doing things all at once.

to answer your question, a set of forged rods and pistons will be fine for 1bar. for a Y7, the most common setup I see is eagle h-beams with srp pistons, they are cheap and will work great for mid range boost. get some ARP rod and head bolts and some new oem bearings and you'll be good.

How much does posting stock sleeves usually hold before it cracks?
