can i take civic si pistons to install on my dx connecting rods because i would like to buy srp 11:1 pistons and this model is for si. The dx piston that srp make have 10,5:1.

It is probably the same piston since putting a 11.5:1 piston meant for the stroke of a 1.6L engine on the shortened stroke of a 1.5L would drop the static c/r by about one point.

 

don't go mixing 1.5L and 1.6L pistons. There is a 1/8" difference in pin height.

 

are you sure that the pin isn't the same

 

the si and dx have the same piston pins

pins maybe the same, but the pin height on the pistons are different.

Put a 1.5L piston on a 1.6L rod and into a 1.6L block and it will stick out of the block at TDC.

Try it with the head installed = BAM!
