Did you seriously say that?...

Umm bad idea that trans. wont go to that engine. Just turbo your D16 it would be way easier since its already in your car.

The reason behind the no turbo is the GF. she said she'd kill my self! hehe little does she know how sick the car would be!! heh

anyway there is a kid on the way as well so... money is a little tight right now but needlesstosay, ill get the turbo one day. Im sure of that.

Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a good place to buy the engine?

look......a turbo is going to be cheaper then building all motor. and faster. If you scronge around you can go turbo for next to nothing. i spent a total of like 500 bucks on the one I got. are you hearing me?

You gotta figure out what you want now cause it'll save you money and headaches later on. Mean if you go all motor then come the time to go FI if you are then you might need to put different pistons if you put higher CR pistons in it or spending a bunch of money to do NA and turn around make it FI. Maybe just get some bolt-ons for now and no major work like bottom end internal. There's alot you can do with NA on that Z6 with just using different OEM items like swapping pistons, getting a bigger throttle body from a H,F, or B series for a cheap bolt on.

Oh yeah? How much does a complete B series swap cost nowadays? I can put together a mean *** turbo ssetup for under $1100. Can you get ANY swap for that much? What's more maintanece on a turbo setup than on a N/A motor? Change your oil on a regular basis and make sure everything is ok under the hood and you'll be fine.

What's such a big headache about SOHC motors? They are super cheap, easy to work on and produce plenty of power for the average enthusiast. If you're looking to make over 500whp, then yeah, go with a B series, but if you're like 99% of the people on this site, you're not shooting for 500whp and you're looking to spend as little as possible to go as fast as possible.

If I blow my motor, big ------- deal. A couple hours and $200 later I'll have a new one in it. Same thing with the tranny. Drop the clutch at 7000 because the tranny is cheap. :P Just because you jumped on the B series bandwagon doesn't mean D series are junk.

This is starting to get into a B series/D series motor war so I'll stop.
