Which engine would YOU boost? D16A6 or Mini-Me?
 

So yeah please vote i have the D16A6 head and block sitting in my garage but i can't decide if i should just boost that or slap my vtec head on there and boost that instead? ???

well obviously your going to have more hp with a boosted mini-me then a d16a6 but with a mini-me you have more chance of blowing you engine....mini-me= high compression, unless you build it to have low compression so its really hard to pic one unless you set a budget....so if i had money i would boost the mini-me and build it right....but im poor so i say stick with the d16a6!

A6.

D16A6 for the win.

Your poll will end up showing most people voting mini-me. Most people are wrong. They just hear the word VTEC and ASSume it means something. ::)

I'll be more than happy to post up stock A6 dyno charts that blow away mini-me and SOHC VTEC engine power output. They have the best heads, period, and make the best power despite 0.5mm smaller valves, period.

if you could show me some links i would appreciate it that is what i am boosting now...and was worried i should have went mini-me...i finally got my probs fixed...it runs so hard on 15psi but on 10-11 its close to my b7 with 8, i guess just low comp...thanks all

id like to see those dyno sheets.....just for curiousity. i thought A6's had 110hp and z6/y8's have 126/127hp? and a mini-me of the A6 would make it obviously have a little higher compression for more power than the z6.... or were you talking about a stock A6 turbo'ed vs a stock Z6/mini-me turboed the A6 puts out more???

Id do the H22 :-\

Re: Which engine would YOU boost? D16A6 or Mini-Me?
 

actually those are hondas horsepower figures not dyno numbers. the a6 was a very underrated motor compared to the z6 and the z6 was overrated...thats why a lot of b7 only lose to z6 stock for stock by 1-2 cars,and have a shittier tranny...wtf

my vote d16a6 less problems

Re: Which engine would YOU boost? D16A6 or Mini-Me?
 

I rock the A6 with 190k at 10psi!

B7 is A6 cylinder head with crappy cam.

I have a B7 in my '89 DX, converted to OBD1 and everything. Due to lack of options (weight) and sunroof (weight) that comes in the Si trim options, I'm as fast as a healthy 88-89 Si.. the 90-91 have another 200 lbs of fat and in-door automatic seatbelts (weight) and are a little slower.

I've had a guy owning a '99 Si ask me what I did to my car ::) Hrm, your 30-40 extra to the wheels is offset by the extra 750 lbs of fat your car carries around, plus the 100 lbs the guy had on me, and his speaker box.
