Is y8/z6 headswap worth the time & $$$ ?
Hi everyone!
I am new to this forum but I am hoping to get some good advice on what to do with my car.
97 CX H/B, D16Y7... S_T_O_C_K
One of the most popular upgrades seems to be a y8 or z6 vtec head swap. Is it worth the money? Before I get flamed for being a stoopid n00b, here is/are my plan(s).
My goal is turbo'd 200whp on stock bottom end.
Will it be cheaper to achieve this by first swapping in a y8/z6 head and then going turbo OR just concentrate on boosting my d16y7 till 200whp arrives?
Thx in advance!

you can do the head swap and boost but controlling detonation becomes a big issue.(not good with noobs!) readevery topic in this forum and then make your desicison.by the time you finish youll be a turbo genius. welcome to HMT!

Yo renr, THANKS
Those dudes on "that other forum" haven't even given me the time of day
Can anyone explain why they have their compressor on the driver side? Most of the kits out there (edelbrock,greddy) always have their compressor on the passenger side of the of the exhaust housing

passanger side compressor = trying to save A/C
Drivers side compressor = ---- A/C this is way easier to route!

or just buy a manifold that allows you to keep your A/C.
