what block to use...

[Ek9]

I just picked up a d16z6 head for my turbo project i just need some input on what would be best block to use on it on stock internals my goal is to hit 225-250hp

[BseriesKllR]

Ive seen a whole d16z6 get 302hp on stock internals

[Ek9]

i herd the z6 block has stronger rods or some shit like that... too bad i dont got one :?

[BseriesKllR]

Start looking they arent that exspensive....I got my whole z6 engine and a crx si tranny for free. :D

[Ek9]

i was thinkin about using the a6 block.. how do you think a a6/z6 will hold under boost on stock internals.... i was wanting something somewere between 200-250atw...

[BseriesKllR]

Im sure an a6 block will hold up....but im not sure so if someon else could back me up on that one.........

[Dr.Boost]

I would say the A6 is as strong, if not stronger than the Z6. My plan for my next motor is to use a Z6 block, A6 head and a y8 manifold(of course). I don't need no stinkin' VTEC. :roll:

Just gotta have that boost :)

[Ek9]

hell yea gotta have that boost so what do you guys think will the a6 block hold 200-250atw? got like 4 of them layin around and some 15b7's

[Ek9]

oh yeah 200-250atw with hondata... anyone here know much about the ihi rhb5 turbos?? will they produce that much power??

[Mrock]

Check homemadeturbo.com, I think they have info on the rhb5 turbo's..they used one or two on their setups.
