d16 pistons and rods??
 

i have a question...
does the pistons and rods in d16a8/9(zc) engine the same that in d16a6 and d16z6 engines?

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

no

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

they arent?

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

The A6/ZC rods are the same, the Z6 rods are different. They are still interchangable.

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

I have a a6 and z6 rod right in front of me, and they are pretty much identicle. What is different about them?

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

I've just been told the Z6 rods are stronger, which, you'd prob. know better than me... I perfer to have the little jap guy at honda build my engines vs Billy-bob at billy bobs racing, so I don't see too many rods...

I do know the SOHC rods look like they belong in a geo metro !!! We put way more power though those things then I'd ever think we could get away with..

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

so you saying that rods in d16a8/9 engine are the same that in d16a6 engine, right?and about pistons?does the pistons in d16z6 engine fit the d16a8/9 engine?
i´m building a turbo d16a8/9 engine, and i don´t know what pistons and rods to use...anyone have some ideas?

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

Z6 dished ( low comp. )
A6 flat
ZC/tegra domed high compression.

Basiclly

Every cylinder head has a different Combustion camber volume which changes compression too.

Re:d16 pistons and rods??
 

the reason why im asking this is that i can find forged pistons and rods for d16a8/9 engine, so im thinking in purchasing some that are compatible.
