Well here is an update summing everything up, just awaiting exhaust and tune now.
Last years set up, this was roughly 7.5:1 comp
D16Y8 Block
Vitara Pistons
Eagle Rods
D16Z6 Head
Crower stage 2 Turbo Cam
KMS Valvetrain w/ Oversized Valves, titanium retainers and race springs
Ebay special "50 Trim" Turbo
Turbonetics Evo Wastegate
RC Autoworks Miniram manifold
Stock Trans
2.25" exhaust
Skunk2 Intake mani
Stock Throttle body
Don't feel like going on and on too much to list. Anyways the car made 274whp on 25-26psi. Ran it for a while untill it would not boost over 12psi. Could not figure it out, swapped turbo, fixed it for a day then same thing. Turned out to be collapsed flex pipe.
That pretty much wasted motor, got it bored over, rebuilt it, but spun a bearing. Oiling sucks in the y8 motors so ditched that and picked up a Z6 from Big3, who put my new motor together for me. Thanks guys you are awesome!
No more 7.5:1 compression..
D16Z6 Block
Supertech 10.5:1 comp pistons
Eagle Rods
New Ported OEM Oil Pump
Same Z6 head but crower cam was falling apart, went with Bisimoto Level 3.6
Skunk2 Intake Manifold w/ 60mm throttle body
Garrett 60-1 Turbo .70/.48
RC Autoworks Miniram Manifold and Turbonetics Evo Wastegate
No more stock trans, got an SI tranny with carbon synchros, new bearings, and MFactory LSD.
Finishing up the car tonight, just a few little things to bring it together. Gutted the interior so Big3 can weld in the cage good, finally! And they will also be doing an aluminum 3 inch turbo back exhaust and the tune.
Looking for 350-400whp on the single cam. Enjoy...
