Just to give anyone that's wondering an update. My D16Z6 with a A6 head is still running great. I've been running 13psi daily for about 2 1/2 months now and no problems.

My WRX turbo gets full bost by 3700rpms and hits 1psi at the tap of the pedal...

If anyone tries to tell you low compression is a waste of time/power, just smile and think " lets see whos motor last longer " ( not that a $1000 FMS could maintain a hogh compression turbo motor, but without a stand-alone anyway ).

 

what car are you talking about here?

 

3000gt vr4 maybe?

 

My other car is a TT stealth R/T, but I'm talking about my civic, sorry..

D16Z6 block
D16A6 head
D16Y8 intake
HF manifold with BMC plate and wrx TD04L-13T
AFC hack with 450's
stock 160K DX tranny
stock Z6 cltuch
2 1/4'' DP to stock exhust piping with no axle-back

 

I know you were talking about your civic, but your post didn't have anything to reply to, it was kind of a statement more then a question or even a thread start, so I thought I'd respond with SOMETHING so you didn't get dissapointed.

 

O thanx. I need some love. My car finally is complete ( engine wise ) and I just wanted to tell the world how great it works...

I was going to swap a SVO turbo on, but with instant boost and the wrx turbo making power to redline ( or at least not loosing boost ) I'm having a hard time justifing taking it apart.

#1 13psi is the limit of my FMS ( AFC hack )
#2 my block prob. won't last too long under the kinda power the SVO could make at 13psi.
#3 I'm still broke...
