d16a1 rods are 1st gen integ rods right i heard there stronger than d16a6 rods and are direct swaps any truth to this

 

i was ynder the impression they where from a b18a/b?

 

I'd like to know about that also...they are ALOT of 1st integra's in the junkyards around here...are there any parts worth getting from those (BESIDES the ECU already have one) that would see benefits on a A6 HELP US!!!!

 

they are...the jdm zc and the usdm d16a1. but be wared...there is 2 different types of d16a1. one has dome pistons and one has a flat almost concaved top. but the rods of teh zc and d16a1(domed) are stronger than the stock D series.

 

really?
though all D-series rod's were the same.
The flat top D-series pistons are from the brown top's with vacume ignition advance...I know i have both 1st gen and 2nd gen CRX ....1st gen with 1st gen brown top ZC with vac advance and the black top ZC in my 1nd gen.
And the brown top ZC rod's says PG6 on them
I think the pistons do to

 

pistons from the d16a1 dome will have a p27 stamp.....i know cause i went to honda to buy zc pistons for my z6. they said there is none....so i said what about a d16a1...they said oh...p27 piston....170 brand new..same bore

 

hmmm maybe lower comp pistons...My browntop ZC says ZC1 on the block and it came from the factory in my CRX...Those Pistons were also flat.

 

ooops...sorry....my post was wrong. it was p29 not p27. no such thing as p27.

 

Hmm, when I went to the dealer and got my order of 89 Integra Pistons they said PM7 on the tops of them.

The ZC/D16a1 and D16a6/z6/y8 rods all are the same thickness and measurement.

The 1g ZC (olive top) & 86-87 D16a1 have the biggest D-series rods.

 

really?? the olive tops have bigger rods?? they also seem so tiny hehehe....I got 4 rods with the flat pistons attached to it laying here. The balcktop Rods are smaller
