another D16 down the drain...
 

Well all this hard work put into my home made turbo setup and it had to blow, man that sucks. I had finally worked out the timing problem and had it running 7 psi on my little t25. i dunno why it just fried the rings on 2 pistons like it did but i was in 3rd boosting and it quit going any higher than 6 grand, so i let off and no more go at all, ohwell it was fun, i got my backup motor in there now so we should be fine, Ill keep you posted on the next HMT setup

Yeah you guys better stop murdering all the good d-series out there and if its only the rings do a little CPR and get in running again.

lol, i guess we just cant help it, i get single cams dime a dozen,

all my twin cam friends just give em to me. i guess i might acutaully try and build one this time.

Re:another D16 down the drain...
 

Sure wish I had your friends! I'd love to have an extra engine sitting around that I could build. Especially a Y8 like the one I've already got, yummy, but I can't see turning down ANY donor engine!

where u live i got a spare a6. also i sacked up and am installin internals in my new y7 block....after i blew my a6 sky high of course....

Re:another D16 down the drain...
 

I got my backup A6 in now, im just now looking for some pistons, rings, and i think im gonna go with the LS rods, does anyone know what that does to the c/r on a mini me? thanks -Ben

Re:another D16 down the drain...
 

ls rods are a direct replacement to ex (d16) rods? are they stronger?

Re:another D16 down the drain...
 

Yes they are stronger capable of figures close to 300 at the wheels. They aren't however direct replacements. about $100 worth of machine work welding and rebushing the wrist pin hole to accept the civic pin and lathing the large end to fit the civic crank.
