Z6 rods and pistons
Ok so i have a mini me swap with a 98 ex head, with the D16a6 block, can i use d16z6 pistons and rods on my a6 crank? has anyone ever done that? what rings should i use the z6?

Re:Z6 rods and pistons
Why would you want to do that? The a6 rods/pistons are fine. ;)

Re:Z6 rods and pistons
just trying to lower my compression, and thought that would be a good easy and cheap way to do that. what do you think of that, i read alot of what you write, so tell me what you think....

Re:Z6 rods and pistons
Your compression would be the same as a D16Z6 block with a D16Y8 head.
Basiclly still around 9.5/1 compression. If you want lower compression, use either a D16A6 block with Z6 rods/pistons and A6 head Or D16Z6 block with A6 head Either way use the non-vtec head. I use the d16Z6 block with D16B2 head ( same as A6 with crapper cam basiclly the same either way ). I was doing a D16Z6 full motor swap and I couldn't get it to run for ---- !! I converted it to OBD1 with a harness and P-28 ecu, I replace dizzy, ECUs, and intake manifolds to try and fit it, but it never ran... I had a HMT ready to put together, so finally reallized that by swapping my old non-vtec head on would still work. I put the old non-vtec head on, removed all the OBD1 crap, and first time I cranked it, it started right up. I'm ( as far as I know ) the first person you do the "un-mini-me" as I've dubbed it... its around 8.4/1 compression, depending on which head gasket you use. Runs great. |
Re:Z6 rods and pistons
so by put the d16z6 pistons in, it wont change my compression it is all in the head, is that what you are saying? i want to keep the vtec...

Re:Z6 rods and pistons
no, he's saying that putting the Z6 pistons in an A6 block, as a combination, will act like a stock Z6 block where compression is concerned.
D16A6 block + Y8 head = ~10.3:1 compression above + Z6 pistons = ~9.5:1 compression D16Z6 block + Y8 head = ~9.5:1 compression |
Re:Z6 rods and pistons
yep, right now you have like 10.3/1 compression, the Z6 pistons will only drop it into the mid 9s/1 area..
Me no likely vtec and turbo together anyway... |
