My build :: d16z6 vitara
I have been working on this for a long time, and finally got the engine together. I hope to install it in a week or so and tow it straight over to my tuner.
I thought you guys would like to see it from start to finish. I always like seeing other peoples builds.
I have swapped a z6 into a crx before, but I had a question about a few things.
do I have to hook up the vacuum line off the EVAP purge soliniod? (back right hand corner of manifold?)
d16z6 SOHC VTEC engine
eagle rods
vitara 75.5mm pistons
arp head studs
rebuilt d16z6 head
skunk2 intake manifold
b16 throttle body
3 bar map sensor
zex turbo cam
zex valvesprings
Adjustable Cam gear
chipped p28
450cc injectors
Walbro 255 lph intank
B+M adjustable FPR
garret .42.63 super 60
2.5 downpipe
38mm tial wastegate
Blox manual boost controller
-10 oil return line
-3 oil feed line
fastturbo vacuum manifold
upgraded engine mounts
boost gauge
electronic oil pressure gauge
narrow band A/F - turbo timer
vented valve cover to a greddy catch can

Re: My build :: d16z6 vitara
vitara's don't come factory in anything, they are aftermarket cast pistons that have an extremely low compression ratio excellent for boosting SOHC honda engines , but they are reliable to a certain point and they are very cheap for a set of pistons. there are two companies making vitara's that i currently know of, Nippon and YCP with YCP being the better of the two. the last i checked i think someone was making close to 500whp on vitara pistons, it may even be past that by now

Re: My build :: d16z6 vitara
2000 vitara is 9.5:1 2009 is 10:1. the rods length and head have a lot to do with CR, but the pistons have the right wrist pin height and bore to work with the d16. Their ring lands are pretty substantial too. If you're boosting its a good setup. FJT makes custom rods to help raise the CR back up to more of a stock number.

Re: My build :: d16z6 vitara
is this true about the suzuki vitara pistons being the same that we drop into our d series and are they out of the v6 version or the 4 cylinder?

Re: My build :: d16z6 vitara
well, the turbo oil return will depend on the manifold and turbo for placement.
I ended up welding a male -10 AN bung to the oilpan after I mock fitted everything up to check clearance.
there are also options to thread a fitting through the pan and use a push on hose. check out fastturbo they have some options.

Re: My build :: d16z6 vitara
eagle rods require "notching" so they can rotate. They are much thicker than stock rods.
here is a good explanation:
