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.

Re: WTB: aftermarket d series pistons
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.

Re: WTB: aftermarket d series pistons
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

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 *** 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.
