89SIHATCH?

are d16y8 and d16z6 pistons and rods compatable with a d15a1 motor?

i know ones a 1.6 and other 1.5 but>!>!>??

most likely will be using the z6 rods tho.

can somebody please help me out with this?


much appreciated . thanks

LEITNER

no. different stroke means the 1.5 has longer rods. pistons should be different too. good luck

89SIHATCH?

well ok heres the thing im building a boosted 1.5 and i wanna do different internals etc. found some for a pretty decent price and was wondering before i purchased them.

will the pistons work do you think?

if its for a turbo motor get vitara pistons

89SIHATCH?

expensive? any group buys or a good place to grab em?

cant i use zc pistons?

looking to build an affordable basic motor high comp. pistons and rods that can hold the boost.

well i suggest you do some research about building an engine for boost. High compression is NOT what you want, actually its low compression and the suzuki grand vitara piston will yeild a nice low compression.
You build an engine with high compression if its going to be natually aspirated. Low compression if its forced induction.

well hell thats why i posted this thread im no mechanic.

The vitara pistons are awsome

The swift gt guys use em for g16 with g13b dohc head, turbo....bah blah, 220 hp in swift (

You prolly have your reason not to run these pistons but there are a fair bit of guys on honda-tech that do run them, and yes they work for a MILD buildup on a budget. I was just talking about this today with my boss who builds race cars, and he said the same as you...."buy proper parts only". The thing is these pistons are good for at least 250whp with a good tune. IF, and I mean IF i build up my spare d16z6 i will be going with the vitara's and will be shooting for around 230-250whp. Iam still not sure if i wanna build a spare motor cause i rarely run the high boost setting on my car cause it is unnessecary for daily driving.
My advice...know your limits and buy your parts according to your goals.

Good advice, i would just like to ad be conscious of your future plans when buying parts. What i mean is don't go get a 2.25" exhaust done if you plan on going turbo b/c you will just have to replace it with 2.5-3"....see what i mean?

89SIHATCH?

right now im running a exhaust with 2.5" piping and a magna flow exhaust.

but prob gonna replace whole thing front to back high flow cat etc...

cee_mon

2.5 is fine unless you are shooting for high numbers. I run 2.5in downpipe to highflow cat and 2.5piping to a magnaflow muffler.

89SIHATCH?

what motor, etc... are you running in it and what times do you run at the track?
