i just got my block back from the machine shop and was wondering how much boost will the bottom end handle? i have suzuki vitara pistons on ls rods(yes i know getto fab style) and i also plan on getting a block gaurd. anyone recomend a block gaurd or are they all the same? thanx for the help!!!

 

someones gotta know how much a stock z6 bootom end can handle with a block gaurd...HELP

 

It not how much boost the setup will handle, but how much power it can handle (WHP). And it is not how much the block can handle but how much the rods would handle...

I would go with whatever stock LS rods can handle. Whats the breaking point of those rods, like 250-300whp im not sure but just search it...

 

Why didnt you go with eagle, or turbo toys H beams?

 

i think your stock bottom end can take 10psi with good tuning ofcourse ..anymore than that i would say is pushing it even with a block guard. ....

 

A T3 super 60 @ 10psi is going to give you alot more power then a T28 @ 10psi... So due to the fact that we dont know what turbo or setup he is putting in his car you have to refer to how much power can it hold NOT psi...

 

im goin to be using a t3 with a 60 trim. i used ls rods cause they were free and the shop only charged me 15 bucks a rod to fit them to the crank. i was told they can handle 250 to the wheels safely.so my thought of a 15 pound boost tune is kinda pushing it huh? thanx for the imput above fellas!!!

 

anyone boost a z6??? how much boost did you run???

 

to give u an idea.. i'm pushing 7psi with a T3 Super 60 on my D16z6 and its making 200whp/164wtq (tuned & intercooled).

 

That block should be sitting in the machine shop AFTER you install the block gaurd, not before.

 

my buddy and i pressed one in a b18 bottom end with a hammer and 2x4 piece of wood and worked fine??? are d16s different???

 

I think the LS rods are good to about 300whp or so... and I think that would be the limiting factor in your case.

The vitaras should be fine to that much, and the sleeves shouldn't have a problem either, with a good tune that is.

I think you will have to spin that 60 trim T3 up to 15-20psi of boost in order to make that much power, and I don't think the turbo is efficient at that range. I'd have to recheck the compressor map though.

 

im hoping to get around 250whp at 17psi anyone think ill be alright with that? im plannig on getting AEM_EMS for the tunning...

coments on if possible or not...

thanx

Sounds about right to me. You shouldn't have any problems hitting 250whp with 17psi on that turbo/engine combo.

That's going to be a blast to drive! I had that turbo on my d16z6 at 12psi and it kicked ***

 

anyone else boost a z6???

yes sir i have a 2000 civic coupe with a d16y8 bottom end and a z6 head, daily driven @10psi with no problems, it is also tuned and intercooled

 

oh yeah and it made 220whp with 210lbs at 5000rpm with the clutch slipping, and gets 31mpg lol
