Mini Me

[SOHCunderdog]

Hi ppls.

Thinkin whether or not I should go through with a mini me setup or not.
Current engine setup:

sohc zc(non-vtec of course)
Vitara + Eagle combo
KMS blockguard
ARP headstuds

I have a Z6 head my cousin gave me for FREE. I dont have a dizzy or a cam gear. I know these parts are not hard to get at all.

Should I go thru with doin a Mini Me setup or should I leave it non-vtec? Since I have the head lying around should I modify it before putting it on?

none VTEC underdog ftw

just sell the head and turn it for alil profit, with the vitaras and eagle rods id have a turbo setup on my mind

[Mikkie]

non-vtec FTW
sell the head and buy the rod a piston combo

[SOHCunderdog]

I have the rods and pistons in my engine already..broken-in and everything. Would love to get 300hp outta da car. Since my car is lower compression already, what do you all think my compression would be like with a vtec head?

why dont you guys like vtec? vtec is the shitwho said they did not like vtec? i like it just fine in a DOHC, you know true to design vtec. <- this statement stump you? if so, your band a wagon ricer. get off the band wagon and learn something.

omg,owned :)

vitaras would bring it down to 8.5 roughly and the vtec head will prolly bring it to 9s this is all just a guess though. vtec on a soch isnt worth it.with a turbo on a non-vtec it will be an easier powerband to tune. no reason for the swap at all because with the turbo you'll be making enough power that a vtec head isnt needed.

mod for mod the vtec will over power a non-vtec

VTEC > non-vtec

VTEC > non-vteconly one way to prove it... ask Stephanie Eggum what she has bolted to the top of her engine, a non-vtec system or a vtec system. or if your talking about sohc motors, well we could always ask bisi what system he is running.

Thanks for the calculator...compression came up to like 9.1 roughly.

i can agree with that but when you are shooting for 250 or something it really doesnt matter what head you use both will get their without problems.

[SOHCunderdog]

Ok guys...final decision. Staying non-vtec for now. I feel the car will make good power without vtec right now. I am just goin to focus on gettin the last bit of stuff to turbo the car.

Will keep you all posted with the progress.

VTEC > non-vtec

yeah since a 5-10 horsepower difference is so overpowering. as said many times before a bigger cam in a non vtec will just about cover up the loss initially. and ive seen more than a few boosted y7s make more torque and equal horsepower than z6s or y8s at the same boost level in turbo apps. staying stock is the biggest downfall to a sohc nonvtec engine. if my y7 didnt need more work than its worth(needs rebuilt), id boost it to hell and back before tossing in a z6.

[turboprelude95]

I remember when I had my a6 back in the day.... I like my vtec but I also liked having a non vtec because like everyone else stated it is an underdog.:TU:

P.S 99ej6t thanks for the sig material

SOHC VTEC is junk........nothing but a fancy cam profile change on the intake lobe side........more moving parts = more failure points.

the ONLY good thing from a mini-me is the bump in compression........D's love compression........
