is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

im workin on my dohc zc build and im doin my research and tryin to round up parts, so is this a good deal?? http://www.dh-racing.com/pistons.html

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

have you looked in the classifides lately or even for any used parts? how about tuner toys?

:6

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

I would check out www.thezcresource.com . Much more oriented towards the ZC for some reason...... and this has definetly been covered before over there.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

yeah ive been lookin, but im not seein anygood deals right now, and i dont mind used parts (as long as there good) i went and looked at tuner toys...there out of stock on the rod's and it looks like they dont carry pistons i've been on the zcr.com also no luck yet on parts

damn hotrex it looks like you find all the deals.... looks like im gonna search ebay

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

i got a set of new in box eagle rods for 60 bucks. well thats how much the material cost me when i made the manifold to trade for them.

got the pistons used for 3 dyno pulls for 125 bucks,

all the supplies to fill my block were 40 bucks.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

what about these pistons??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CIVIC...spagenameZWDVW

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

those pistons are cast.... i suppose they fall along the same lines as the vitaras.

guys make good numbers with vitaras. but can you say cast? and piston slap?

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

ok so i guess those arent to good.....what kind of pistons would you recommend??

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

pick up some srp's
cheapest forged piston, and ive used them before, and im using them in my new built, beau ran them in his race car.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

would pistons for a y8 work in my dohc zc??? (wouldnt any d-series fit?)

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

yes, d16 pistons of any sort should work fine.

however...keep in mind that jeff used my z6 arias 9:1 pistons in his ZC and scored a fat 7.8:1 compression ratio. can you say poopy bottom end?

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

thanks for the reply, also when boosting alot of boost ...isnt lower comp better?? (maybe not that low but i dont know)

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

tunertoys rods and the pistons are kind of a toss up i dont think anyone makes a piston specifically for the zc.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

well i know the rods just say d-series but when i click on the piston link the page is blank (so i dont think they sell pistons yet)

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

you could maybe use like a 10.5-1 from a d16a6 to drop the compression in a zc. but you may have to worry about the piston to valve clearance.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

hey i found a set of Je/srp pistons they are 10.5:1 comp. ratio and .020 over stock bore. for a good price...with the overbore how big will my cylinders be?? (1.6, 1.7,1.8??) and how can i correct the clearence issue??

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

20 over is more than you want to go without sleaves

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

thanks! what if i did block posting?? (posting=sleeving?)

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

what about posting??

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

what about .10 over?? how big would that be??? (i still plan to post or sleeve the block)

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

.10 over is .25mm, roughly. Not exactly, but any machine shop won't do exactly .10 anyway, they will do within manufacturers specs.

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

so would that make a "standard" d series piston 75.25mm??

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

I know jeff built a ZC, and after it all, said it was a waste of time.... not to kill your fire, but maybe just a note ???

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

well damn it kinda does :'( i guess i should go look for the build...do you know how much he did and how much power he made?? (also i go to an auto tech school and me and a buddy plan on possably doing a twin turbo set up (we are tryin to do somethin custom..and different) :S

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

ok in case i find out that this build wont be worth the time or money...... if i bought some piston's that are .10 over would i have to sleev the block?? (i might do a semi-build) and if i dont sleeve how safe/unsafe would that be??? :8

Re: is this a good deal?? or could you show me somethin better??(piston/rods)
 

anyone??
