Pballer2005 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 http://web.archive.org/web/20070305014436/...om/dseries.html compression. swap a y8 head and you'll be up 10:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 because my rings are bad and if im going through all the trouble to replace them i might as well swap...and im only paying 250 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 sounds like a deal. go for it. and yes throw a y8 head on there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 what about a z6 head?...not trying to be dificult just using whats around me...oh and can someone answer my first question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 what about a z6 head?...not trying to be dificult just using whats around me...oh and can someone answer my first question? a z6 would work great too. not sure on what you need to accomplish the full swap, im not too familiar with the a6. heres a link to some heads on CL http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/1161672934.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 z6 and y8 head would both work, but the y8 head would yield more compression. you could get the same affect from milling the head, using a thinner gasket, and using a y8 intake manifold. there are ton of things you can do with the a6 and make it just as good as the z6 or y8. when building either motor, the main advantage with a vtec head is it makes things a little easier for dd.

C92hatchX Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 well the z6 head will need new valves...maybe i can just run the a6 and then build up the z6 head to run properly then swap heads...ill just need the P28 ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 sounds like a plan to me. you should be able to get the p28 at a couple places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 YAY! no get cracking on that motor, gotta have it done asap that way you can trade for a better car hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
