D16 Build and Block Notching
I figured out what I wanted to do with my civic. Currently I have a D16Z6 running on crome pro, 450cc's and a DSM T25 on 8 psi. All stock internals and runs great. Get 33 mpg all the time. I want to start building a D16 to go in when my current one blows. I found a D16Z6 block with full internals for $60. I want to tear it down, hot tank the block, get the crank polished, and grab some forged rods. I think the combo I want to use is vitara 75.5mm bore pistons, eagle H rods, Blox block guard, and ARP bolts all around. I will get the cylinders bored to spec with the pistons to avoid slapping. My main questions is I have to notch the block to clear the new rods. Has anyone done this? Is it hard to do? Any advice or tips. I pretty sure I can do, just don't know exactly what to do. Word! My goal is to run 15ish psi and not sure which turbo yet. I know this set up can do 300 easy.

---- the block gaurd and notching is not hard but if you do not feel compitent doing it then take it to the machine shop and have them do it. if i were you i would get the fjt rods to go with the pistons instead of the eagles. and get a decent turbo

just mark out the center of the cylinder. you need about an inch or so to total, and grind about 1/4" in or less. round all edges in the process and rotate the crannk. if it doesnt hit, then " good job." you get a cookie. wash that ---- out FULLY, and oil the whole sleeve immediately
