-a6 head gasket (i believe this makes 9.03:1 cr)
-z6 head- crower springs and retainers

Well, what kinda of power are you trying to make?

AceGates

using the setup on my stock d16y8 now, and hoping to make 200+ on like 8-10 pounds while builing my new motor with stated specs above, hoping for 300+ on like 15-18 pounds... what do you think

How many different areas do you need to post this? Once in forced induction isn't enough? Come on...


You need to ditch the Y8 crank...

AceGates

I wasnt sure where it would get more responses, you have too much time on your hands to notice that lol, relax.

Hmmmm, ever considered the vitara build? my buddy did a similar build w/ the vitara/eagle combo and made 320whp on 22psi with a 54 trim t3/t4.

AceGates

i did consider the vitara build, its ALOT cheaper then forged, but forged is better for a daily driver application and long term use.... or so i read. Vitara is cast pistons and arent as durable as forged.

93egSLEEPER

i understand they are cast, but the fact they arent "as reliable" is not true. I have seen many vitara setups making 400whp as daily drivers and last years, seriously. Its your money though, im just saying my opinion. speedfactory here in WA had a vitara build hatch making 500whp on stock sleeves and they raced it 2 years before anything happened. probably 200+ passes at the track.

Hybrid96EK

From this response, I can conclude you don't "understand" much about Vitara setups. For your goals, it would work JUST fine. I loved mine minus the fact that it was difficult to pass emissions in California with due to low compression. Other then that, I would probably still have it...


And no, I don't have "too much time on my hands".. I spent all of about maybe 5 mins on Honda-tech yesterday.
