i have a d16a6 block, 87 integ rods, z6 head. i was wondering what i could use stock wise to get the lowest compression. i was planning on using my a6 pistons and using a fat head gasket. are a6 pistons the best way to go?

btw, is the hf tranny a better tranny for turbo, or dx crx? the car is a daily driven, freeway only car, and plan to road race it.

the HF tranny is ----...dont use it...its made for fuel economy...no for anything else...i have one in my crx right now and its for the slow *** engine...use an SI or DX tranny

doesn't the hf have long *** gear ratio wouldn't that make it better for a turboed car my friend has d16z6 in his crx and has the hf tranny i have DA teg b18b1 ls tranny and he is in every gear a hole lot longer than i am and the ls tranny is supposed to be good for turboed car's.

i figured the longer the gear ratio, the more time the turbo has to spool up. isnt this true?

get an aluminum plate machined and weld it to your block.

also the low c/r u go the less low end power your gonna have.

so itll be like bog bog bog.. VROOOOOOOOOOOOOm, lame.

the HF tranny is just GAY, it ------ makes your car slower! i had one im my car and it made it about a second slower
