i did my own research on these pistons and found out they are not forged, they are cast aluminum, i even found out that a GEO tracker all years and even chey tracker 97 and up all have the same size bore as any D series, also same size wrist pin, but only if they were forged.... but they have a very low compression when mixxing them with the D series. i am still very intrested in this though....

 

sooo...suzuki actually has something of value out there besides the gsxr? lol. interesting idea using the vitara's pistons...

but the CR seems kinda low...8.5




What if you mill your head?would that help?also would a d16z6 ryn crappy with that compresion?

 

Not if you wanna run larger amounts of boost The lower the better. And besides...an early 90's accord f22 has pretty much that c/r anyway, and they run just fine

 

i think thats the reason y they can handle so much boost.

 

I dont get it, Y7 pistons will give u about 8.5:1 too with a Z6 head and are cast. So might as well stay Honda... or in my case I scored a Y7 block in the junkyard with 20k miles.

I will say though that my car is a HUGE pig out of the hole, i regret 8.5:1 every day I romp on it.

Just doesnt seem worth the effort unless you're going to replace the rods, which in that case you'd prolly want more than 8.5:1 anyway since you can handle it!

 

i know what you mean, i went from 10.5 compression to 9 flat and my car just sucks at the low end.

 

I keep seeing the words "viagra piston" when I look thru the forum. Thought I'd post my dillusions.
