cheap, fast, reliable

pick 2


You aren't going to get power and gas mileage. That engine gets such good gas mileage because of VTEC-E and the stock fuel management. You will get more like 25-30 MPG. Go ahead and swap the Z6 head on. No sense in using the Z1, getting a tune, and then realizing you need to swap heads and pay for another tune.

Have you personally done that setup properly? My guess is NO. I have. Don't do it unless you're ready to spend money comparable to a regular turbo kit and just want to be different.

i have an S300 system in my closet from my old car, along with my p28 ecu, so tuning im not worried about, i took a look at the manifold today and took measurements, and its not gonna work out like i wanted it too, now the debate is on as to what complete kit to buy, or parts to buy, gonna buy a turbo kit, run low boost on the z1 for a bit then swap to the z6 later. so...any idea where to get good parts cheap/reasonable. $3500 is not cheap nor reasonable, like to spend around $1200 MAX.

1200 max? Good luck man. See you on the side of the road.

And tuning costs like $300-400. That's what I meant... why waste $300-400 only to have to spend it again on the same thing?
