Re: The A6 Wheeze... Version 2!!! D-series Gurus's Chime In
 

He put some low C/R pistons in it and boosted it with a SSAC t70 and cracked a sleeve. I think he put the head on his 4 door but not 100% sure

Re: The A6 Wheeze... Version 2!!! D-series Gurus's Chime In
 

any way to convince you to get a Z6 head for this set up? I kinda like the A6 block/Z6 head/ITB's combo.

Good luck though!

What happened to you're civic? did you put it back together after it was recovered? That was a toutching story....too bad. :P

Re: The A6 Wheeze... Version 2!!! D-series Gurus's Chime In
 

Ya he said it broke at like 25 pounds or something crazy like that. Turbo didnt make full boost till 7k or something of that matter

Re: The A6 Wheeze... Version 2!!! D-series Gurus's Chime In
 

That would be nice, but the way a6 heads flow I wouldn't even bother. ;) Delta 272 cam and some high compression will help out nicely. Why even bother hunting down zc pistons? Just find an old d16a1 floating around and use the pistons from them...same dome height as zc. Some nice port work, good cam, high compression, z6 intake mani if it'll bolt on with at least an LS tb. ;) Be the most fun you've ever had in an n/a d-series. ;D

i think i'll take the d15z1 flywheel, d15z1 oil cooler as well as aluminum bracket


anyway, your project look good and with all the mechanically inclined people you know, i'm sure you'll get a good result!

Good to see you around Froggy. ;) ;D

Nice!

I have a blue 1990 STD hatch... came with the 4-speed as well.

I started out like you, just wanting a daily, then I swapped in a d16z6 and went OBD1, then I couldn't stand that any longer and built a turbo kit for it.

I can't just be content.

It sure is fun running 10psi in this small light car though. I'm loving it.

Good luck with the project!

Go 13:1 CR, drop some skrill on a real cam and bump the valve size up .5mm. Perform fisty on the head so you have power past 8500 rpms.

I would love to spend the cash on a bisimoto cam but not sure if I want to even spend anymore more money on D series stuff anymore. i still have my welded chambers head I did and mm over p29's
