Ok, picked up a freshly rebuilt mini-me last night to replace my blown z6 engine.

Anyaw...
Its a d16a6 with a d16y8 head.

My questions are:
1. What timing belt do I buy
2. What crank pulley do I use (I have a z6 pulley that Im hoping will work
3. What is the best way to make sure my mechanical timing is accurate? (i can get the pistons to TDC, but im iffy about the head)
3. What distributer do I use (also currently only have z6 one)
4. Reccomended intake manifold (z6 or y
5. Will my z6 oil pan fit the a6?
6. Anyone got a basemap for this setup by chance (450's, dsm t25, 8lbs boost.)

Thanks all

 

dont do a y8 head, trade it for a z6 head. but do get a y8 intake for it. if not continue to use the z6 one or the a6 one. i have a d15b2/y7 combo and things get tricky when it comes to timing. much easier to use a z6 head when it comes to a mini me on an a6. a6/z6 or y7/y8 are really your best bets when it comes to block/head combos.

 

thanks, but the head and block have already been rebuilt, and head copper o-ringed (to strengthen head gasket or w/ever)
anyway... thanks all.

 

well gl i got mine running... i didnt say it wasnt possible. but rather difficult.
