Default A1 pistons in a y8 engine
I want to find out for sure if i can put D16A1 pistons into a D16y8 engine . i know it will have crazy compression ratio but will they still clear the valve/piston clearence? any information would be great. THanks

yup should work, I dont think you will have valve/piston issues, I could of swore I read somewhere something like 11.5c/r

Holy Crap! Is compression like that safe on stock internals?

What are some of the hp numbers assosicated with a hybrid like that?

My guess would be the area of 12.5c/r

Heh.. I'm throwing together another mini as we speak. Y7/Y8 block/head combo.

Interesting set of numbers..
