im going to be turboing a d16z6 and was wondering how much peak boost was safe im going to be putting a .040 head gasket on it and it has stock everything except for fuel setup ,walboro255 with 440 injectors im going to get it tuned and also what spark plugs should i use it will be a daily driver to and will prolly be driving it with 5 pounds daily thanks

 

Stop when you reach about 200whp and it should be very reliable boost doesn't kill motors.

 

I keep reading 10 is gonna kill 'em. 5-6 prob okay. Poke around a bit more and see what you come up with. None of us is gonna chip in for that re-build when it pops... ...lol...

 

thanks guys im here 15 max ill prolly be running bout 5 all the time and prolly turn it up tp 12 when a mustang pulls up

 

ok another dumb question sorry dont know much about this honda stuff yet
im trying to stay on a budget but if i threw some low compression pistons in there how much can the stock rods hold and do i need to do anything to the head and should i sleeve it dont really no much of anything bout single cams

Its the rods that give trouble, help yourself out. If you want to keep it reliable stay around 200whp you can do this on a stock motor. If your going to upgrade it get rods first they are the weak link. But yeah search if your really interested.

 

thanks man

 

My stock rods didn't like 281whp/237tq on my stock block d16z6 powerplant.

 

o one more thing is 2.5 inch down pipe and exhaust ok or should i do 3 inch

 

My 2.5" custom catback sound as loud as my thermal r&d catback. I'll say go 3" exhaust. Free flowing equal more power.

 

Ok guys im new here have been told to get on this fourm site so I did, lol. I have a quick Q. Ive done a little research. but wanna get some more input. Im doing a turbo setup as well with the t3/4 setup and I have the ZC aka D16z6 vtec and with an auto tranny, how much boost is safe on the tranny? Im not looking to peak out my drivetrain i mean its only an auto, lol. Thanks Loyd

1st nest time start you own post no one likes a hijacker
2nd the ZC is not the D16Z6 the Z6 is just the 92-95 ex usdm. the "ZC" is DOHC and there is another block stamped ZC that is SOHC i do believe
3ed first things first. manual transmission swap
4th you might get away with like 250-260 whp on a auto transmission
5th if your set on staying auto... there is no reason for the t3/t4. go with something smaller like a T28 or a T25. your not going to max it out because the auto transmission won't let you. the smaller turbo will be a quicker spool with a smoother power band and will destroy less **** in that POS auto transmission.

i hope that you get the point... install a manual transmission first

 

lol o the hijuacker. They do make a sohc zc Vtec which i have, when i slug a rod in my D16z6 I had it spwaped out to the SOHC ZC vtec which has a more aggressive cam in it. But its all good. I dont plan on changing out the Tranny cause im not going for a drag car, just a casual drivng car. Just wantd some extra HP. I already have the t3/4 turbo and down pipe, so cant really change out except if I sell and buy a smaller turbo. That range 250-260 whp is well enough to get by. Loyd

 

FI work for only 20-30 whp gains
that's a lot of work and $
you could build it NA and be happier
that T3/T4 depending on trim won't spool till 3500+rpm
how often are you at 3500rpm+ in an auto?

and if it's a z6 it's not a ZC. you might have a ZC cam/head but that's it

 

yea true but im not tying to spool up all the time just when I wana get by someone. Im not ever going to hit 3500 except when I floor it and just wanna get by or pass. How would I build it NA. would that be $.

My engine is very rare, some people dont think they exsist anymore. the ZC is alittle older than the z6. The zc I have is similiar to the z6 except with that cam. The block says zc and do all the zc engines. its just the head that really makes the difference. its all good though.

 

if the block is stamped ZC than you have a ZC not a Z6
why did you say you had a Z6? they are not the same hents the stamp on the block... wow
and it's not that rare...
and there is a d16a1 that is refered to as a ZC by some...

http://www.superhonda.com/foru...99764/

 

yea I said I have the ZC aka D16z6. oh well.
so you think that pushing bout 5-6psi or 175 whp wont mess up the auto and stock internals?

 

well it is in no way a z6 not even an aka way
if you click the link you would see that the "aka" would be the d16a1
as i told you it's a DOHC
your starting to **** me off
it's a [freak]ing ZC that's it nothing else but a ZC

ok now that that's cleared up.
it's not the motor that's the problem
and not so much the transmission
your week link is the transfer case
they DON'T hold power verry well

 

well didnt mean to **** you off just a healthy debate, lol. Yea but it is a ZC then.
Would I have to get a new tourque converter. or would i be safe around 5psi or 175 hp with the stock transfer case?

and now you are at your 5th post for the day so you are done
see you tomorrow

you can still edit your previous post
being the NOOB that you are your limited to 5 post per day for like 2 weeks or something like that

 

Come on man... Please stop spreading this mis-information on these forums if you do not know what your talking about...

I have PERSONALLY swapped 3 ZCVtecs.....
And the block is stamped ZC and it is IDENTICAL to a d16z6 block....
The head.... makes slightly more compression... and A slightly more aggressive cam...

You think japan never had a version of a d16z6..?????????
Why wouldnt they.... there is nothing wrong with the engine...
and I dare you to try and say the D15B...
because its a 1.5 not a 1.6....

Also.... The Non-vtec ZC is made in the years of 88-91..
I believe the DOHC ZC is made in the same years..
The ZCVTEC is made from 92-95....

(best Apu voice)"Thank you Come again"

 

there is a sohc ZC. and with a good tune u can run as much boost as u want..

Only because so many people here consider is a waste of time and money to import a SOHC. The 'rare' sohc is the 96+ with 3-stg vtec, but they're the Y8 style motor, meaning shitty crank/oil pump.

Auto tranny will sap twice the power a manual will, and start having MAJOR issues above 150whp. It is a complete waste to use a large t3/t04 turbo on it. It will be like having a 50shot of NOS at 5k rpm. And for that, I'd just buy a NOS kit and spray earlier...
