Here's what I want to run:
d16z6
Vafc Hack
dsm 450cc's
d15b7/z6 pistons
Ls Rods
Thicker Headgasket (.2 or a little bit thinner. )
14b-td05h
DSM SMIC ( It's enough for me. )
Turbo XS RFL BOV
Walboro Pump

I need to know this:

a) How much HP can stock LS rods take? Is it worth getting LS rods, I thought I read somewhere that they were pretty strong but i'm not quoting anything.

b) What's the easiest way to lower compression on that motor. Do I even have to go the route of getting new rods before I boost or can I just get a new headgasket?

c) Is there a major difference with running a straight pipe or is Catback Fine? If I already have it I might as well use it.

d) The VAFC Hack... is the Walboro Pump needed? Is it an ideal thing to have?

e) Can someone do a calculation with the D-series calc... http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/D.htm ... and tell me what my C/R would be with d15b7 Pistons in a d16z6 motor with LS Rods and a thicker headgasket. That'd help because I don't know the LS rod length.


I searched for this stuff for the last hour but nothing as far as a direct answer to my questions. So sorry if you find what I couldn't. All help is appreciated. Thanks guys!

 

b) You could get lower compression pistons. Also, you can run your stock rods and pistons fine. Just wouldn't go over 10 psi to be safe.

c) From what i heard, the straight pipe is much better than your catback. There is less restriction and that's a good thing on turbo cars. At the same time, you won't be emissions friendly.

d) No, the walbro is not needed for the hack. Unless you are going above 10psi, you should be ok. I'm running 6 psi pdaily and 9.5 psi at the track on my stock pump.

I call bs on that setup 13's maybe, but not 12 reliably...
That is a setup that you will need to change the engine often...
