Funny story. I've only had my Si for about 2 months now. It seemed a lot slower than it was suppose to be, so I decided to race my friend in his bone stock 1992 Accord. Normally an Si would beat it, but he just walked me like I was nothin. I don't really have the money for a duel cam vtec swap,but I really need to be faster. Would it be worth it to dump a bunch of cash into my d16z6? Boost? Yes or no?

Thanks for the help.

 

just boost it...

 

I was going to but 131000 miles of the 132000 that are on it wernt from me, and with the way its running, I'm not even sure if it could take boost without blowing the hell up.

 

well run a compression test...but if you dont want to go boost just i/h/e and a nice suspension setup with good tires you should be some what satisfied...i've got a EJ8 and my motor is stock..i've only touched the suspension and worked on some cosmetic stuff...

 

Z6 motors are a dime a dozen. Buy or piece together a nice turbo kit, and pick up an extra motor or two just in case. You shouldn't pay more than a few hundred for one.

 

Hmm. Well thanks for the help. I'll go get a compression test sometime soon. If I stay with my single, I probably will boost it, but I'll probably build my block first, just to be safe. Thanks again for the info.


well wait....

does the z6 have potential to be a decent all motor?

decent all motor? not really

just go to http://www.turbod16.com or http://www.homemadeturbo.com, or even http://www.d-series.org and read up on the boosted hondas.

you dont need to build you block to "be safE", Stock D series, especially the Z6 can hold around 200 whp safely, but really depends on the tune and how youre running your fuel management.

you would be more than satisfied with 200 whp, trust me. it makes a peppy fun car

 

boost ur sohc motor

 

Ok thanks. Well I guess that settles it.Im crossing over to the dark side.lol

I appriciate the help ejbeast and everyone else. And yes, 200 hp sounds nice, but I might need a little more, for this WRX driver that likes to talk ****.lol

Better go with a diiffernt car, if you're chasing a 300 HP AWD.

 

Its not an STI, its just a 2.5rs, but a new one.

 

boost n squeeze the hell out of that ****

 

you'd rape a 2.5 rs all day with 200 whp

remember, you weigh less. and 200 WHP. thats to the wheels not crank.

 

Well I guess I will be switching to the dark side. lol

 

boost it and walk DOHC swaps w/ bolt ons all day....if you search there are a tons of good writeups about boosting SOHC's ...and also check out http://www.turbod16.com
and also homemadeturbo.com

good job
