stock c/r too?

 

vitaras are very light

 

Stock D16Z6 are known reliable at 225-240 whp. I think they are good for more, but people need to be more sensitive to heat soak since it's a small bore engine.

 

alright so i decided to just get a bigger head gasket since i have to get a new head gasket anyway. what c/r do you guys think i should run? and i am also getting arp head studs.

 

If you do vitaras, get some rods. The stock rods are the weak point.

However for your goals you don't need to open the motor if it's healthy(why do you need a hg?). Here is one example of how far a stock z6 can go:

Look on page 11...

 

i need a new head gasket because the owner of the engine had taken the head off already.

 

well im rocking a stock d16z6 botom end, with 180k miles on it. Im boostin 9psi, on a garrett t3to4e 50 trim, and im sure im over 200hp.

not going to go dyno a winter beater set up but, id bet iv cleared 200hp.. i do have a built head, cams and skunk 2 IM..

 

Honda OEM head gasket.

 

D16Y8 headgasket is the cheapest, from the dealer, and fits right on.

 

You definitely are over 200whp. My friend lifted his head on a stock d16y8 at 9psi. Ebay t3/t4, nice manifold, and a dyno tune. He made 250whp.
Im about to boost my second del sol that has it's original z6 with 175k miles.
