if your gonna boost it use the z6 head it has a lower comp. better for boosting

well im giong mini-me turbo. i think ill start it at 6psi and go up from there.ill be swaping everything out on friday hopefully it will be ready for the meet on saturday. i hope because i got to be moving out too so i got to do two things at the same time, move out and head swap. sheesh

i was having the same problem on what i wanted but im goin with a zc b/c i got one cheap. also the d16 block i have is very high mileage.

i would go with the cheaper one, both will perform about the same.

but with the mini me you could put a massive vtec windshield banner on, oh wait you could put a big dohc windshield sticker on if you had the zc. man i dont know its a big toss up.

RENR

lol, hmmm vtec or dohc stickers dam not its really hard to choose

RENR

well its done! turbo mini-me! it took about tw0 whole days. and the freakning hardest part was wring the dam summit racing rpm switch for the vtec! i swear i spend about 5 hrs messing with that thing just to find out i needed a relay to make it work! but in the end it was all worth it! it pulls very hard and i have almost no traction when i shift to second and third! i love it. i post pics later! yayayayay!

oh wow now that's funny. The head doesn't make a hudge difference. You can use a y8 head with like a b7 head gasket and yield a lower compression then a z6 head with z6 headgasket. But I would go with the z6 head becausse it's supposed to flow better at high rpm's. There isn't much difference between the y8 and z6 heads.

And to the mini-me or zc? I would go with neither. Get a z6 block/head. Boost it. Unless your going with a y7 or a6 block and a vtec head. Then go with that....don't get a b7 block unless you want to spend alot of money bullet proofing it. So I say z6 head/block with y8 intake mani. And boost the hell out of it :P

which has more torque ZC or minni and how much.

Well since a mini-me is a hybrid motor it could realy have anywhere from like 9:1 to 13:1 depending on the thickness of the headgasket and if the head has been milled, block shaved, or what internals? Different oem pistons in different blocks can make diff compressions... Since there is no mini-me in "stock form" this question cannot realy be answered unless you specify what internals, head, and thickness of head gasket. THEN it can be answered :P

P.S. I'm not trying to be a "hardass" and make you feel stupid if that's what it looks like Everyone is here to learn!


edit -- lol thought you said cr...but still it's along the same lines i belive...diff c/r would yield diff hp/tq levels.
