Default Will d15a pistons work with d15b?

I dont have a d15a laying around to compare. But are the blocks the same deck height? Is there any difference in the pistons?
I found some forged d15a pistons and was wondering if I would use them in myUSDM/JDM d15b Im building....

Link to the pistons.

D15A = 84-87 EW motors..........so I doubt they will work IF they are correctly listed.........

i had to have my old ew motor bore to 75 to be able to drop some a1 pistons in it. like mista bone said if they are listed right and a d15a is a ew piston then they wont fit. unless it is an overbore piston

wow, 84 and 85 mm bore EW motors?

Who the ---- is smoking crack here

traction, lay off the pipe, your really wacked now.


Wrist pin is the same diameter, .7480" and press fit.

Like I said, ask people like Tom on RPR, these guys build and race the little motors.

i didn't relise that i meant 74mm. and if they are a 75mm bore than they will work because i had d16 pistons in my overbored ew motor

edit: bone i edited my other posts. and i would see if you can find someone on rpr that has and old pistons that they can send to you so that you can compare the height

I don't lurk on there, but Kirk Olsen (gtpilot) should have a good idea.

Either that or look at his engine sponser on his GT-5 car and ask them.

Paul G. @ HASport might know also since he runs the small motor in GT4/GT5 now called GTLite.
