cam isnt expansive. its like 225 + shipping. reason im going non vtec is b/c the sohc vtec cam from him is like 380 or w/e.
bisi > zex

z6/d15b springs=y8 springs=y7 springs. ( = meaning interchangeable )


again, are z6 springs any better then the y7 once ?

slo_crx1, i forgot to ask him when i called, and its hard to get a hold of him.


btw, overlap is good.

 

Is it a hole y7 setup?

 

 

Here's my opinion. If your going to boost it, the last thing you really need to worry about is how high you will rev and what cam/springs to use. My car had a completely stock Z6 and the only reason I ever needed to rev higher was because first gear seemed pretty short when I was at the track on my slicks (still worked pretty well). I might have been able to lower my ET a little bit if I had another 1,000rpms to play with, but other than that when daily driving or street racing going to 7k was perfectly fine. So just think about if it's really going to be worth it in the long run before you spend all the money for a little extra rpms. Oh and my cam/springs were free because the motor was stock.

 

I wouldnt rev it under 9,000 they make the most power after 7k

 

no, z6 bottom end.

i know what your saying. and i know i should hold off until i get everything put together and see how it all works like stock, AND then upgrade.
thats why i asked are z6 springs better then y7 springs ?, because i have some that are "free," but im yet to get an answer. ----, there is more talk about the cam here then the springs. lol



i dont even know what to say to this, well, maybe an LOL is fitting enough ?

 

its sad how no one knew. i guess flaming is the only thing you guys are good for. lol j/k



called bisi today to order some springs and he said that z6 springs are the same as the y7. (cam will have to wait. )

 

haha, i take my b2/y7 to 6800 daily. all stock btw. oh i also seen an article that i believe was the bisi you talk about in a tuner mag today that i was browsing through. never knew he was banned from drag racing for a short time.....or still is??

 

I know nothing about hondas, nor do I care to. however, valve overlap is awesome...for NA. for turbo you want minimal valve overlap. boost takes the place of vacuum with a turbo, therefore you dont have to worry about scavanging.

sorry, still no help on the valve springs.

 

My stock turboed d16y8/z1 bottom end seen 8500 rpms all the time for 8 months of beatings.Only reason it broke was
the ring lands.So the stock head can take a beating.It pulled hard all the way too the rev limit of 8500.
