won't see a Z head there!

Subject: L20B head swap info
Date: Monday, May 29, 2000 11:04
G�day all,
Well after going to Winton Raceway on the weekend I�ve decided I need more
power in my Stanza. Therefore, project �LOTS OF POWER� has been commenced.
The engine is going to be made from one of my L20B block�s (sorry no FJ20�s
in my car!!) fully balanced, bored out 80 thou, flat top pistons, etc, etc,
etc. My query is to do with the cylinder head � After reading a few
messages about the Z20 head swap I�m interested in the power differences.
I�m NOT going to be running a turbo so I�m looking for a head that will
give
a high compression ratio with excellent flow characteristics. Which
cylinder head should I go for ???? Ie, A peanut shaped head fully ported
or
a Z20 X-flow head fully ported ?? I know that kinda sounds silly but I�ve
herd some bad reports on the Z20 head flow characteristics....
Another question, if I did go for the Z20 head what type of cams /non turbo
induction systems are available ???
Yet another question ! My current engine (L20B) which isn�t to shabby has
30
psi oil pressure at idle 70 psi at approx 2200 rpm (done by using spacers
behind the oil pump spring). Is the idle oil pressure low ?? And if so,
could the Z series oil pump be used in an L series engine ??? (Might be a
stupid question as I have never seen a Z20 or Z18 engine...)
Any info would be great.
Jeff
P.S For the people that have been e-mailing me about it - I�ve handed in
all
my assignments so that article on my �Home made EFI� project is back on top
of my list.
