alright i need pistons and these are for sale for 165

11.5:1 compression on a d16z6 will be a bitch to tune with boost but i need new pistons

do i buy or not

 

i wouldnt do it

 

I wouldn't. It's gonna cost you a whole lot more when that ---- blows up, so use stock, or spring for the ones you want/need

 

If they can turbocharge a type R or a celica gts or the type s which have ratios in the11's why not youres. Buuuut make sure you tune the ---- out of it . You getting the rods I hope so . BUt you wont be able to run much boost. In my opinion

 

yeah, that's crazy high c/r. just fork out the extra loot to get some lower c/r pistons instead of jumping on the first good deal you see, i've made this mistake a lot :P

 

hmmm with that compression ratio and good tuning, a big turbo you could hit 250 hp at low boost ... 8-9 psi
I would do it though if I got a good deal on pistons and rod's

 

buy them and sell em on egay for 300

 

---- it im getting them

ill just use 2 headgaskets or if any of u know where i can buy a spacer that would be great

 

go with a 3 layer headgasket. I wouldnt waste the $ on an extension. Also you should run high octane fuel at all times with that comp ratio and boost
Good luck tuning

 

got 4 of them 4 170 shipped

isnt the stock z6 headgasket a 3 layer one?
i think i remember counting 3 layers
