i want to build up my d16z6, how should i do it

[exospeedAMcrx]

I have built a number of bottom ends for All Motor as well as turbo enthusiasts.

The basic performance build up, will consist of upgraded pistons and rods for about $1100-1400. THat of course will include new bearings, new oil pump, new rings and the machining and labor for the whole block.

The next step will be a sleeved block. Sleeves are required for high boost or if you want to go with an overbore to your block to fit larger pistons. This setup is like the JG PRO block and usually runs at $2100-2200.

Its all a matter how hardcore you wanna get with the motor. A street low boost motor will be good with the basic block, while higher boost such as 12lbs+ will require the sleeved block for increased liability and safer boosting.

Well looking at the Dyno of the SOHC that was built up running 200 hp to the wheels and it was running 11.9 in the 1/4 was pretty awesome. And it is a daily driver. I can't wait until I get my car paid off.

frostbyte... I don't an trying to understand what you are saying here. you said 200 Hp and the wheels doing 11.9 in the 1/4 mile? Please clairify for me please.

Wow, now we're getting some answers here! Im shooting for just 200 hp to the wheels with my SOHC, but Im not sure which turbo would get me there quicker and with less lag involved. Would the GReddy be up to the task, or should I opt for a slightly bigger APEXi kit, or even bigger the DRAG kit?

Why do you think the SOHC is hondas top market although people have found that you have more horspower with the b16a or B engine they are at higher RPMS. The SOHC gives you better torque ratio to modify so yes you can modify the engine and car to nearly 350HP very rarely seen done 250 to 300 is more reasonable now I dont know much and my car is pretty much still stock but I have been doing my homework and well I'm willing to bet a D15B Supercharged with NOS will blow the B16 away and if I blow it up I can replace it for about $300 bucks try that for a b16.

Sorry what I meant to say is there is friend of mine that lives down in S. Cali that has a y8 block with a z6 head built running 11.9 all motor with 200 hp to the wheels. I must have been half asleep when I posted that lol. Don't matter now because I don't have a Honda anymore lol.

I race my car at the track occassionally. Right now I'm running high 10's and low 11's with my 93 D16Z6. Basic mods : Cold Air Intake, Exhaust System, Fuel Rail with Manifold, but missing key ingredient, HEADERS! I would like to know would a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 set be better for drag. My power band is 4,500 - 6,500 RPMS. Help.

10's and 11's in the 8th

In your case in all honesty, I'd recommend the Bisimoto headers. They were designed for max gains going down the strip.

For a SOHC motor, you could easily produce horsepower with the smaller GReddy turbocharger. There is no need to go over board and buy a larger turbocharger. If the GReddy set up isn't good enough for you, simply remove the wastegate that they have stock on their turbo.

Get a greddy turbo if you want to run low 15's to maybe mid 14's

seems like you already have most done to your motor so it seems you my swell go with the high compression pistons stroke rods if you want more hp then that my swell start boring the cylinder and go with oversize pistons you can do various things for internal power honestly i got a d16y8 i smoke b16s all day i would never get one so those who are saying that are wrong the only thing better about a b16 is more torque no more hp i happen to be getting ready to drop a d16z6 in also so if anyone has any feed on this also like do i need to change anything from the wiring harness or the ecu for the z6 i would imagine its the same but not sure keep me posted thanks
