WTB: aftermarket d series pistons
 

im looking for a set of aftermarket pistons for my d16a1/zc. let me know what you have, and what sort of dome they have.

ive been looking around for the d16a1/zc specific ones, but they are hard to find. so, im just looking for whatever kind of pistons that dont have too low of compression.

trying to get d series pistons with compression that is not too low. also, if new ring are included, that would be great.

they don't have the zc ones in stock yet. the regular d series pistons in a dohc zc will havea fullpoint lower compression. i don't want anything too low. will the high compression ones work ok? maybe if i get a 10:1 compression they will work out.... ill have to figure something out.

still going to be too low of compression. the high compression ones are not safe for turbo..thats what they and a few other shops told me. i found some on raceeng.com. but they are $439+ship+rings..a bit out of my price range.

all 9:1 compression pistons will weild an 8:1 compression in the zc. waaayyy too low for a daily driver. i guess i have to wait till tuner toys makes some zc ones....probably be a while >:(

get a thin headgasket and shave the head a little more

Re: WTB: aftermarket d series pistons
 

are you tryin to turbo? if so whats wrong with the stock pistons? is this a dohc zc or sohc?

Re: WTB: aftermarket d series pistons
 

its a dohc zc/d16a1. it was already turbod. im pushing way more than 200 hp on my new motor that im putting in. the stock rods/pistons won't be able to handle that much. i need something stronger

i would get a thinner headgasket and shave the head, but i don't want to get all the machine work done/pay out the ass to do so. i could take a layer out of my hks gasket if i wanted to, but that will only raise it a little.

well my friend had a dohc zc in a rex and he pushed 10psi fine on it tuned with uberdata that was on strock piston/rod combo.
