I wasn’t happy with the fuel economy of my Z06 and since the motor recently shit the bed (see pics) I’ve started to swap in a Honda B18. I think I’ll be happy when it’s done, but I’m taking suggestions for the right turbo kit: ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z061.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z061.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z062.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z062.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z063.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z063.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z064.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z064.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z065.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/Z065.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ061.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ061.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ062.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ062.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ063.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/LsZ063.jpg) Obviously kidding, source here: [http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?highlight=z06&t=2977894](http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?highlight=z06&t=2977894) ---

It really is true, that some people have more money than brains. In this case, a very disproportionate ratio of money:brains. ---

Does it matter? Wouldn’t doing this exact swap effectively be dividing by zero? ---

I would love to see that done because it would truly give several corvette owners heart attacks. But I bet it would actually get worse gas mileage haha, plus you’d need quite a turbo to beat the power of a nice cam. ---

This is the government enforcing legislation on 8 cylinder engines, as 4 cylinder engines get the job done and are less dangerous on the streets. :tup: to this guy for being ban compliant. ---
