will this work? i got a free d16a1 and was gonna put the crank, rods, pistons in my crx block because the a6 spun a bearing. if anyone knows about this plz let me know. thanks

 

ehhhh????

 

itll work

 

a1 pistons will bump compression to about 12-1 with an a6 head

check the diameter of the A1 front snout where the crankshaft timing gear goes on and make sure it matches the A6 - some A1's have different diameter (some are 22mm and some are 24mm) than the A6 - you will need to use the crankshaft timing gear from the A6 - compression ratio with A6 head, A6 head gasket and A1 pistons = 10.78:1

 

ok what about with a d16Y8 head? and Y8 headgasket??

 

13.128963812527295:1 would be ur compression ratio

with a a6 block
a1 (p29) pistons
y8 head with a y8 headgasket

Hey man it sounds like you got some really loud rod knock there... nah that's just my detonation

ummmm ok. proper tune and the right fuel would avoid that.

 

we tried this same kind of transplant with a friends motor...(d16a1 crank, pistons, and rods). it woul have worked, but the timing belt was too small...then we tried a d16a1 one, and it was too big. i guess you have to find a happy medium to make it work

 

hmmmmm i would imagine the a6 belt should work. if it doesnt just use a a6 crank with the a1 rods and pistons. still the same effect since the a6 and a1 have the same displacement. he is just going for the a1 pistons for the compression and whatnot

Yea but why would he want that high of compresion, is he trying to build a race car?

umm this isnt his racecar. this would be his playtoy. his racecar consists of a 84mm gsr

 

anyone else have any input on this?
