i have been reading up on sum d16 stuff and i found a guy using a d16y8 crank block and head with b16 rods and 1g-gte pistons he said with a thick head gasked he has around 8.5:1 compression and it holds strong to 20psi. i was interested and just want to know if anyone has done it or knows anything about it.

cmon there has got to be some singleslam guys on this forum

 

The single cam guys found a better alternative which is using hypereutectic Suzuki Vitra pistons made by YCP. Better because of the piston availability, fits onto stock rods/aftermarket rods, price, and is proven. Also the compression ratio is in the 8-9:1.

 

thats probly what i will end up doing but if i go the other way then the b16 rods are stronger then the d16 ones but if i cant find someone who has done it to ask q's then i will probly just go eagle H beams and the vitara's

 

Just buy some eagle rods and be done with it.

Just make sure to get the I beam rods and not H beam rods otherwise you will be grinding your block so that they can rotate around.
