anyone who has a d16z6, what all did you do to the engine, what made the most difference, what did you run in the 1/4 mile and what aer you planning to do...i ran a 16.1 with 2 1/4 piping, short rim intake,exhaust,short shifter are my mods what should i do next?????

 

Do you have a coupe or hatch?

 

coupe....and i ran that 16.1 with a full tank of gas.....im thinking about going with a msd ingintion upgrade but i dont know yet should i??

 

Turbo will make you look like your avatar.

 

ummmm ok back to the car thing

 

MSD won't really be worth the money unless you're boosted or nitrous. Do you plan on staying N/A or going to forced induction?

 

im thinking about a 55 shot of zex

 

The MSD will help some, but not necessary on a 55 shot. I don't use one yet, although a MSD 6AL is in my near future.

 

what do you run in the 1/4 mile?

 

14.2, but that was my first run, just practicing on cold tires, then i did a burnout and the axle snapped on the second run. I haven't been back since because I'm in the process of building a new shortblock. Also my car is a coupe, it weights 2680lbs. I expect I could have ran 13.9 or better.

 

definitely nitrous is the best bang for your buck. i have a d15b7 in a hatch and i ran a 15.3 with the stuff in the sig. but i need to get some batter tires bc i have really really cheap ones and they don't grip for ****. also that time was in palmdale ca with is way above see level, it should run like a 14.8 in Pomona.

 

im just worried the zex may blow my motor..it runs strong...but i dont know im going with the 55 shot...what all should i do to my car before the zex besides colder plugs...what all did you guys do and have any problums when you use it...and when your at the track when do you hit it?

 

With a 55 shot all you really need is the colder plugs. Use stock ignition timing. You could get a 255lph hp fuel pump if it makes you feel any better, but you don't really need it until the 75 shot. Another good thing to have but not necessary for a 55 shot is an fpr.

 

fpr????

 

fpr: fuel pressure regulator

i have stock plugs. i use 91 octane. i retard one degree ignition. i do a valve adjustment after every 3 bottles i run. i have not encountered any problems yet. but when it is really hot i run a 60 shot but i wont hit a great time on a hot day. also a bottle heater is a must without that you have no control over the nitrous pressure. also i have nitrous and fuel pressue guages to make sure that i am running within the safe specs. and the bottle runs best at 950 psi, any higher and it is a bigger shot, any lower and its smaller.

 

how much are fuel pressure regulators and what all do they do for me and where can i find one?

 

I got mine from AEM which was like $150, but I think B&M makes a cheaper one that is a little less adjustable, but good enough. It allows you to adjust your fuel pressure. You will need a fuel pressure guage as well.

 

do you acually gain hp off that...and what about a vtec contoler...because those adjust your timing and your fuel also??

 

The VAFC doesn't control timing, and I don't know of any other piggybacks that do. I sold my VAFC to go with a Hondata. It's cheaper and more tunable.
