building block for boost questions?

[GlennsEK]

Engine y8 bottom and z6 top
The reason I'm running y8 bottom I will be using y8 oil pump and pan.
(currently have two dip sticks looks dumb) z6 & y8

I will not boosting right away just building a block.

So far this what i have,
Arp head studs
vitara pistons
eagle rods w/ arp bolts
walbro 255
King bearing kits
330 cc injectors

2)what kind of fuel rail?
3)do i need a cosmetic headgasket? if not what should i use?
4) Block guard needed?

IF I NEED SOMETHING ELSE OR WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

No ideas ?

mid 2s on those injectors maybe..its gonna be super sluggish with eagle rods...personally would have went with the fjt rods

[JDMJ]

^ exactly right..compression will be in the 7s and 330's arent enough..ive got the fj rods, 550s and there about maxed out and im close to 300. Even with fj rods, mine is slugish..ppersonally, id get close to 9:5 area for quicker spool

[GlennsEK]

I planned on getting some dsm 450 , I just had the 330 laying in my garage already

cometic head gasket is not needed that gives lower compression oem honda head gasket is what i used on my 400 whp hathc

Word. Btw Kelvin you suck @ texting ppl back. I'm picking up a y8 block tomorrow. Then just want to get a cam and send the block to machine shop.

[big mac]

i havent had a phone for like 2 weeks bro ahahahah thats why

[big mac]

bisimoto turbo cam man 1.2 i think

Do not do a y series bottom end. If you have the opportunity to da a z6 bottom, that's your best bet!. When I get to my computer I will respond to your questions the best I can. Phone keyboard sucks..... lol

[GlennsEK]

true I travel a lot for work so I'm always having to use my phone keyboard, it sucks. So for the dip stick issue what can i block it with like jb weld or something that looks nice? I've heard y8 oil pump is better, is that true?

[Jdm94Coupe]

definitely not true. everything bottom end related the z6 is better in every aspect EXCEPT for the oil dipstick being in the damn way, lol

[GlennsEK]

Bump just brought a bisimoto 2.4 turbo cam and still need a block then I can send the block to the machine shop

[Jdm94Coupe]

It better be a z6, and yes I'm serious. Boy I wish I could go back myself, but my sleeved block is a z6 so we will see what happens.....

[GlennsEK]

What do you mean go back and see what happens, yes I'm trying to a z6.

[Jdm94Coupe]

I was saying I wished I would've built a z6 or a6 instead of my y7 I built....... but gl with ur build man

[GlennsEK]

Thanks man, hopefully I can find a block no real luck so far

Stock Fuel rail & intake manifold are pretty efficient until 300+hp. So they will depend on what your power goal is.

I've built several SOHC turbo setups with FELPro MLS head gaskets.. although none of them have hit the power goals you're likely looking for. IMO running a welded block guard to keep the sleeves from shifting and ARP head studs will be more relevant to the headgasket lasting than what brand you choose.

What kinda power you're gonna make is completely dependant on what turbo/psi you choose to run so thats tough to answer. Un-boosted you will make LESS horsepower than stock with vitara pistons.

Ive also used ACL duraglide bearings on all builds ive done (honda, subaru, toyota) with great success.

i would run oem until you get bigger then 75.5mm..... my stock hg hit my old 76mm pistons..... cometic 76mm helped me out... made over 300whp and going for over 500 now, i will let u kno how it holds up.... but cometic has been good to me!
