a z6 swap or mini me. i might boost down the line somewhere. is it true mini me makes more power than a z6? or shuold i just leave the a6 and boost it?

 

Which one do you have the money for? What is the purpose? Is this a track car or a DD? How many miles does the current block end have?

 

mini me will give some more N/A HP due to its higher compression ratio, but that same CR will be much less boost friendly. stock Z6 motors are great set ups with low-ish boost (under 12 psi)

If you want to boost, keep the A6. Rather low compression, and no vtec to tune. The money you save on swapping a z6 will get you a better turbo A6 setup.

If you keep it N/A forever, get the mini-me swap. Higher compression, like 10.1:1 or so.

 

if you want to keep in MORE simple stick with the Z6. There is going to be so much more involved in doing the Mini me swap. Z6 is already put together, and im ASSuming, if you choose to do the Mini me, you are going to take your stock A6 block and add the VTEC head to it right?

 

tah is correct. has anyone ever dynoed ther a6/z6 combo? what kind of numbers does that put down

 

i read an issue of honda tuning where they did different combo's of heads and blocks and they all came out with different compression ratios you should check it out
