I want to build a turbo motor for my hatch and I already have a ZC. I was just wondering if the ZC's were as strong as the D16a6. I am mainly talking about the strength of the sleeves. No matter which motor I choose they will have JE pistons and Eagle rods. Thanks

 

basic same block.

 

same strength....but you get the benifit of a MUCH BETTER FLOWING HEAD.

 

I know this is a different subject but how much boost can I run on the stock sleeves? Anyone with built ZC HP numbers?

 

you can take a built ZC into the 4's

there are two that are being done right now i have have a part in.

when one is done, or both, i'll make a thread

 

Which would be better - a d16z6 or a zc?

 

ZC has the MOST head flow, by far

and an a6 flows more than a z6

and a z6 flows more than a y8

and a y8 flows more than all the rest

 

4's as in 400 hp? What about without sleeves with just rods and pistons? Which do you guys think is better for tuning AFC hack or AFC?

 

i'm positive 300 could be pulled out with just rods and pistons
