d16 spin bearing

[greddy2244]

I have a d16y8 that im ready to boost at 5 psi, later i will build it to boost at around 15 or 20, but never the less i dont wanna spin a bearing which i here the y8's are infamous for due to poor oil lubrication which i believe is in the block. What would be the best way to not spin a bearing, y8 head z6 block? or z6 head y8 block, or is there another way any info would be great, thanx

The Best Way Is Not To Turbo The Car Until You Build The Motor!!

^^ yupp...

ok but what should i do about the oil lubrication problem

[wildlatino89]

z6 block way better and y8 head banging for combustion but z6 head has a better flow

damn this a tricky decision i just dont wanna spin a bearing anybody else got any suggestions

It's a singlecam boost it blow it up buy another 1 cheap cheap cheap

its due to the actual oiling holes for the crank..every d-series has 2 oil ports per crank bearing besides the y8 which only has one per bearing..so you could open up the holes on the y8 and make them bigger thus allowing more oil to get to the bearings..or swap to a z6 block

Im doing a z6 block and y7 head boosted trying something different...I spun a bearing wit tha full y7, it had hella miles lol....But ur best bet is just do a full z6 on 10 psi wit a tune it will last for a while

z6 block deff. Unless you know someone that can port your y8 oil pump and what not.

[greddy2244]

^lol i dont know anyone that will do that ill just get a z6 block

[gsryder]

I say go with a non vtec a6 block. Its the best of the d series as far as blocks go

deff z6 block . i have a 1.5 bottom and z6 head in my 4 door and it holds up pretty well for the miles thatre on it .. go z6 , you wont be disappointed , especially with boost flowing ;). gl brotha
