enjoy. post up once youve got it running.
actually for the y8 head on the b7 its alot different, than just slapping it on.
yeah man its the same basic idea. some use a z6 head some use a y8.
Wat is so diff bout it then
who said anything about just slapping it on? it is still concidered a mini-me swap hence the reason i said to search for "mini-me"
oh and now its time to be a d**k. there is no need to make two threads for the same thing.
i got nothing against you man just try and keep it one thread for the same thing. its a very common rookie mistake.
and just to be not so much of a d**k this may help.

keep in mind you wont be converting to obd0 like on that site. the reason we all say go with the z6 is because the y8 is obd2 and the z6 is obd1 like your car. its just simpler and no conversion is needed.
Haha ya that was ma bad bro
an thanx, i appreciate the extra help.
(noob quesion) but wat does a z6 head come off of? cant seem to figure it out.
wat would b the diff in power cuz either way i wanna build the head and cam it out so i can run my usual 10 pounds of boost?
its from a d16z6. the 92-95 si/ex motor. the y8 should yeild a slightly higher comp ratio but there are many ways to manipulate that. like head gasket thickness, and pistions. you shouldnt have any problem with 10lbs but most people run 8 or so.
ok koo.. ur actually startin to change ma mind to a z6 jus cuz of the harness
would a y8 intake manifold be good to swap it with? heard it has better flow
ya ive actually read that i could use a y8 head gasket to achieve higher compression,
but ive read fall baks on it when it comes to the cam too cuz of the spacing.
an runnin 8 sounds suky (no hard feelings) ive actually wanted to increase to like 12 or 13.
i do have the bottom end built an bored .20 over and runnin hondata s300

yes the y8 mani supposedly flows much better. i havent tried it yet. as for the boost. if your built then you should be fine but your also going to want to build your top end if you start increasing it like that. oh and dont forget to get it retuned as well. and when you boost you usually want lower compression
would the y8 manifold bolt right up?
oh ya i plan on buildin top end an throwin a crower turbo cam into it
and for sure its gettin re-tuned this time dyno too, cuz ma last tune which was a street tune leaned out : /
personally how would u go?
complete z6 head?
complete y8 head? or
z6 head with y8 intake manifold?

i would do a z6 with a y8 mani.. not sure what your compression ratio would be just because its all going to depend on your setup. the stock d16z6 is 9.2:1 and the stock d16y8 is 9.6:1. thing is you have a b7 that is bored .20 over so thats going to change everything. then depending on which gasket you get will change that again. and the pistons your using will change that once again. so its pretty hard to say just what youll get.
ya that setup sounds pretty promising..
but ya that compression problem sounds pretty bad,
im guessin i can talk to some mechanics and se wat they say.
one thing i kno is when the car was rebuilt it was 8:1 compression so i wonder how much it would change from there?
