high compression d-series
 

i tried searching already and found nothing on this...

im currently pieceing together a 11:1 d16z6... im using PM6 piston and a milled head.. will the stock rods handle 11:1? or should i be looking into custom LS rods?

any other suggestions?

thanks https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

my friend has that same combo with a thin headgasket too, and he has no problem with stock rods.

I wanna know too... But it seems to me that the comp. might be to high for the rods... Better to be safe then sorry though.... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

*forgot to mention it'll have a 9k redline*

compression too high for the rods? nah. it runs fine, for a sohc. i keep telling him to go dohc, but he likes being the underdog. it's in a 92 hatch and it's given a b16 swap a run for its money. if they made a 4.78 or 4.92 fd for the single cams, it would be great.

They do have those final drives for sohc

i tried searching for final drives already, but with no luck, because i just had my tranny rebuilt, and i wanted it put in. but w/e...

thanks for the help mike. so you think the rods are strong enought for 11:1 - 11.5:1 w/ a 9000rpm redline? i also bought APR rod bolts, which should give the bottom end some more strength..

thanks for all the help guys.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

exospeed.com carries the ssr 4.7 , 4.9 d series hydro final drives

Re: high compression d-series (alld16a)
 

awesome thanks.. ordered the 4.9 https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Brett, either buy some LS rods, Crower bushings and have the rods shot peened, or buy a set of Eagles. The D series rods are THE weak link, especially at 9000rpm.

you will really be pushing it trying to rev a d16 to 9k... it is pointless, given there are no cams out there for the d16 that make power that high. the geometry of the bottom end of the d16 is NOT rev-friendly. i would go 8k max.

11:1 cr of stock rods is fine, my friend had a y8 running 12.6:1 on stock rods (before his oil pump exploded on him), and i personally have a d16 with pm6 rods at 10.5:1 compression.

talk to emerika on this board. he knows single cams real well.

Re: high compression d-series (Mike K)
 

im just going to take your advice chris, and go to malihat auto and hopefully get some LS rods... might as well pay the extra bux to play it safe...

*edit*
couple things arrived for me today https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Re: high compression d-series (JDMPROject)
 

dont you need to modify the LS rods to make them fit?

Also, how much more do the LS rods weigh than the d16 rods

nice picture of stuff https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: high compression d-series (JDM EK9)
 

ya they do have to be modified... i need to order a rebushing kit from crower, get them shot peened and balanced.
