- Tue Dec 28, 2010 8:23 pm #230210 No problems with p2v clearance with the oversized valves, but the vitaras also sit below deck. Shouldn't have a problem.

Haven't been on here in a while again but some more bad news. Got my freshly built block in good compression ready to hit they dyno, and spun number 4 rod bearing again. Got sick of the Y8 and their shitty oiling systems.

But good things to come.

Picked up a D16Z6 block, supertech 10.5:1 comp pistons, eagle rods, brand new crank, new oil pump that is being built now.

No more crower cam upgraded to the bisimoto level 3.6.

Brand new garrett 60-1
New turbonetics evolution wastegate
2.5" intercooler piping
Tial 50mm bov

And much more goodies.

Shooting high next year. Wish me luck.

- Wed Dec 29, 2010 3:19 pm #230346 good luck sir! that's for sure a good list you have going there... I'm always really happy i had a z6 block with the double chamfered oiling ports vs. the y8.. however, did you shim/port the oil pump? you should port the new z6 pump especially if your going to be spinning to 8k+ RPM?


anyway, good work!! :thumb:

- Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:52 pm #230370 Yeah I ported it because I had spun a bearing before about a year ago. And yeah I have nothing but problems with the y8 hopefully z6 will bring me some luck. Also having a shop put it together this time, I just want to make sure its perfect. Was debating on porting the new pump or not, a lot of guys say don't have to with the z6, but I might just to be on the safe side, considering I should be hitting around 9k rpm.

Ebay 50 trim so who knows what it was... and that was with a shitty wastegate that was leaking. I will be happy with around 350 on the new set up.

thats what i did, brought a brand new pump, tore it apart and ported it.. it's nice to have some re-assurance when your spinning that high, you need oil to be delivered to the bottom end and everything else. i would do it even on a z6 just for peace of mind and maybe you can quite spinning bearings :)

good luck dude! keep us posted

- Thu Jan 13, 2011 4:10 am #232954 Sooo was doing some reading last night. Got on the subject of flex pipes. Did some searching, one guys eclipse said was just built and only making 9-10 psi. No vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, boost control worked, was tuned the whole 9 yards right? Sounds like my problem, Caught my attention!

Went to look at my downpipe where flex pipe is. Bam, think after months of searching and replacing internals of motors I found my problem. Image
