Re: Rod Choices D16Z6
On a side note. Do you think TT rods and stock pistons would work? Just a thought. I'm trying to save money. And also would the stock valve train work for this HP rating?

Clue up, dude. You need a $500 beater to be able to attend to your life if your turbo toy breaks. Don't listen to all the people who tell you that their turbo toy is reliable daily driver. You'll just end up fucked in the ass over the deal. |
Re: Rod Choices D16Z6
Thanks man. I'll save on the engine mods and just get a beater. Then its TURBO TIME! (...turbo man... Jingle all The way... )

ZC rods are D16 rods. The early 86-87 were a cruder design that "look" beefier, but if you had a set side by side with any other D16 rod your reaction would be "WTF? What's all the hype about?" They are, at best, good for 0.02 whp more than any other D16 rod and more likely to fail at high RPM. You need to do a lot more clicking of the search button before you make posts. Not trying to be a dick, but... :l |
Re: Rod Choices D16Z6
it's been known for 10 + years, the fatter 86-87 rods weren't stronger, just the g1teg community was in denial about it.
