d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

As most of you have seen, I dyno my car to 231HP
its a stock d15z6 with a thicker head gasket

Iam concerned about the Rods and pistons.
What would you guys advise, in a ghetto way.
Would any Rods fit from another Car make maybe?
If i just buy forged rods,can i stay with stock pistons?

I dont know what to do, i wish i could afford a Forged set
THx for Help ;D

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

where did you get the d15z6 from?

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

you mean a d15 mini me?

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

I MEAN JDM D15Z6 E-VTEC engine 114hp stock

but the rodz are the same that the one on a d15b7

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

sorry, but if its a JDM engine, it wont have a suffix. i.e. D15Z

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

its not JDM ;D

Its Euro D15Z6

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

You can use rods from a ZC and they are alot stroger than the d15 rods also you can use your stock pistons. Another choice is Ls rods from an Integra but you mite have to have the bushings machined to make them fit but they are very strong and are a hell of alot cheaper than after market rods.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

I got some a6 rods I can sell you, they are the strongest of the d series.

pm if your intersted.

Nick

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

Not true
the brown top ZC's have the thickest and strongest rod's of the D-series...and non of the 1.6 rod's will fit in a 1.5
The 1.6 rod's are 3mm longer I would worry about the pistons hitting the valves are get the block decked??

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

Semons is right. The was a thread about this a long time ago. D15 rods with d15 block and D16 rods With D16 blocks or you go for a dissater when you crank it over if it ever does.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

Bahahaha, "Semons" :o

I thought the same thing when he came in here talking about his D15Z6. ------- Euros. :P

YOu guyz laughing.
You wish you had D15 with d16z6 heads stock engines.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

why we got d16z6 all over the place we don't need no 1.5!

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

i have a d15b vtec with 130hp but im crying cuz this engine cant be built for ---- because of the lack of parts.

besides euro versions suck

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

d15b is only 128hp. 130ps = 128hp.

d15b/d15z is a normal 1.5 block and crank with VX rods.

you can take any 1.5L engine, use VX rods and then you can put 1.6 pistons in them.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

please explain what a vx rod is .. :)

ta
ibby

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

A rod out of a VX motor. :P

hhahaha lol Semons ::)

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

what about b16 stock rods in a d motor?

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

Hahaha...nice one Bigmike...but seriously...u can swap both d15 and d16 pistons with each other. U can't swap the rods, cause of different journal sizes, but the pistons do change out. How do i know this? Cause for ----'s and giggles i built a d16a6 mini-me with d15b2 flat top pistons to see if there was a difference. Worked great, just sat above the deck of the block. So by swapping a d16 piston into a d15, u are lowering your C/R by a hella lot (pm6's are dished)at the cost of your piston not traveling to the "normal" deck height. In my opinion...not even worth doing though. Just my two cents.

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

what about ls rods in a d16

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

can be done

however will need to be machine,

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

lol

Ok Dr Boost

care to explain what engine, and car it is from ?
;)

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

You guyz bullshitting about Sx VX DX and LS. ---- whatever that mean.
Cant you use like the engine number?

I bought Forged Rods D15 custom made 3mm shorter than D16 somewhere in Ilinois 700USD for Rods :-\

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

for that price u were better off going for crower rods. :o

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

vx is d15z1

Re:d15 classical rod problem
 

yeah crower rod's almost the same price...a bit cheaper.

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

nice stuff dude :D

how much hp he could hit on those rods and pistons ?

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

Is that guy on HT "TurboPanda" still selling the machined B series rods w/oldschool Supra pistons + rings for like 300? Always seemed like a good idea to me, but I never got around to buying any.

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

we got the euro pimp over here....nice stuff

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

I don't think so. Last I heard he was flaking on alot of ppl. Who knows :-\

Re:d15 classical rod problem ( updated with pics )
 

Thats a damn shame, ... someone else should step in and source that stuff. Paying someone in Thailand is just asking for it.
