Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

I just bought a d16a6 complete engine with the following:
SRP Dome Pistons
10.5:1 JG Performance Engine short block Balanced and Blueprinted to 10,500rpm
JG Performance Lightened Flywheel
ACT street clutch and plate
Gude Performance Head ported and polished w/ Competition valve job
GUde Bullfrog PCM
Gude High flow throttle body and Intake
Gude one peice header
Magnacore wires, alt,starter, tranny, intake manifold
Now as this list is impressive the one thing that wasen't replaced was the rods, and guess what went? But what i can tell is that the rod broke but did no damage to anything else. It blew a bearing. So my question is, This new purchase puts me in a new class of Tuner and was looking for some help? I would love to fix the rod and turbo the bitch, but have very little experience with this stuffDoes anyone have a breakdown of thge d16a6 engine, like vacum charts, wiring charts, pictures anything . Thanks

Any help from you d16a6 people would be helpfull?

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

if you fried a crank bearing your gonna needa prolly get your crank micropolished.

as to what turbo to put on. lower the compression first. also that motor seems like it was built for just all motor not turboed. browse the site for similar setups.

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

yeah, i agree with shortyz that motor was most likely built for all motor or maybe nitrous. 10:5:1 compression is high for turbo, especially cuz its a D16a and not a B16. buy some performance rods and shoot a 75 shot of laughing gas!!! ;D

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

the rods not being replaced shouldnt have effected the bearing going....do you have receipts for the work...a balanced and blueprinted bottom end should really fry a bearing...thats just what im thinking

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

From what i see the rod is fine it looks like the bearing is gone. no turbo?

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

i hope gude didnt build the motor cuz they do ---- work.

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

Yea..Gude did the work. My question is the rod itself looks ok i mean the top where the piston connects and the sleeve looks good so i guess i start there. What i first should do is tear apart the whole thing and put it back together? Right ;D

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

No turbo for you, come back one year!!

So, does the motor turn? Can you spin the crank right now?

No crank... i Was given one with the engine looks brand new i also got new bearings and washers. i am gonna take it apart and put new rods in and will see if this mofo turns. Does anyone have rods for a d16a6. i will ask in classifieds.

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

race ready my ass.. how long did it last before the bering went? they prob used stock bearings haha

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

you can use b18b rods.....they're pretty thick for d-series rods, shot peened those would do the trick, but if you got the money just buy some aftermarket rods. Check out dseries.org....or maybe it's d-series.org....do a google search for d series forums....they have all the info you need

Re: Bought a Race ready d16a6! Have some ???
 

yep, talk to Mista Bone....
