like the topic says what pistons and rods should be used for boost on a d16a6..also what comprision should i run.i know the lower the better.

 

Not necessarily the lower the better. You can go with higher compression pistons, but tuning is going to be critical to make the engine last. I've tuned setups with 11.6:1 compression ratio's and the higher compression will pay off in the end. But, alot of people will use lower compression pistons in the 9:1 range to allow the tuner a little more freedom... What kind of pistons are you talking about? Stock or aftermarket? I'd definately look into a set of forged rods and pistons. If it's your first setup and you'll just be driving this on the streets and some track, I'd go with a lower compression piston.

 

yes this is my first setup. iwas difinitly gonna go with forged rods and pistons.reason being i saw what boost can do to stock ringlands.im not sure what company im getting my stuff from.also does anyone know where i can get a manifold from flanged for a t3 turbo.

 

I'd say if you have your choice 9:1 is the way to go.

 

A good affordable combo is the wiseco 8.8:1 with eagle rods from race engineering if you'd like to go low compression.

 

The myth that a point of compression is going to spool a turbo a lot faster is a myth. Difference between 9:1 and 10:1 spooling a turbo is practically non-existent, why not leave some more room for error?

 

i appreciate the help,but i really need to know what comp to run,the turbo im getting is a t3 .60/.63 trim.also does anyone have any info on a log style manifold flanged for the t3..thanks
