d16z6 swap in eg combos

[MINI MUGEN]

ight guys im doin a z6 swap into my eg and i wanted to kno wat good combos along wit the y8 trans on the z6 and i think i heard about a y8 manifold on the z6 also ther are that will help make this motor better and take in mind its gonna b boosted so if u can help thanks

y8 and z6 trannys have same gear ratios.

if your boosting just get a blox intake manifold

What 'bout pay a bit more and get a skunk2 IM? Blox is good for budget build though.

 

[usdm.ehtu]

Why not an edelbrock victor X manifold? Heard there amazing for boost. z6 to me doesnt feel much faster then a b7, thats why I scrapped the idea of doing a z6 or d15b swap. Good thing your boosting it tho, that's all D's are good for.

blox and S2 is pretty much the same thing.

why pay more for the S2, when blox is pretty much identical?

cuz i think thers more parts for a z6 n thers vtec the motor and tranny are free so y not and i heard the y8 trans is better i dont lik d15b7s cuz ther are many parts out ther and dont feel lik doin a mini me swap

but there are no aftermarket rods for the d15's. (yet, fjt is coming out with a set)

i'd go with the z6 trans due to the steel shift forks, the y8 has aluminum shift forks that bend easily.

i'd stick to the stock intake manifold, works fine for everyone else plus there is no evidence that a y8 intake manifold flows better than a z6. the best results ive seen is from port and polishing the head, but that was complementing additional head work. if you have money that you want to spend, buy a wideband and/or an EGT gauge.

get vitara pistons and i beam rod combo from fjt, that is the best bang for your buck.

get vitara pistons and i beam rod combo

Yup, then boost it at 15psi

ohh ight got u thanks if u guys have ne thing else u wanna say id lik to here it

like for the jdm d15b right? and who or what comanpy is fjt? never heard of em.

There is too evidence that the y8 manifold flows better than the z6. I can't remember which magazine it was in but they compared the a6,z6, and y8, and the y8 had the greatest mani flow.

HA I KNEW IT

 

[MINI MUGEN]

on a z6 motor the y8 manifold works like a dream my friend loves his swap but his is turboed never ran it n/a but the s2 manifold is a very clean manifold

woooo boosted z6 ftw lolz

ive searched and never found any dyno graphs on it. people claim like 2whp or some bs but not until i see a dyno graph will i support the y8 better than z6 theory.

you could just port your z6 mani and save some money.

^^^ wow, you're boring...

^^^ wow, you're boring...

boring? why would i want to swap a y8 manifold when there have been problems with #3 going lean because of poor flow to that cylinder?

 

[white_EG_sedan]

the skunk mani is nice but why buy it all it is...is an ITR mani witha damn sticker on it its a waste the plenuim is no lower ot better that the stock z6 . i'd just bore the oem one and up the throttle body size with a port and polish on the head i'd worry about the fuel delivery first

 

[Eg6si93]

yea i have a y8 on my d15b and work so much butter on the high rpms
