i need to see if i rebuild a d16a6 motor i got laying around and use my ZC's pistons (cus i guess theyre high comp instead of the stock d16a6's) would it be the right dimensions and stuff. can i use the sc pistons with a d16a6 motor and a zc head, or what type of scramble would be best.

thank you in advance

p.s. i have to put the d16a6 cus it just got refereed and my motor blew a week later {i blew it on purpose cus i was pissed of,,,no oil..hehe) i have to put a d16a6 so i can be all legal but im gona do machine shop work on it like polishing, porting (i dont know what else to do to the internals other then that) so.....yeah}

 

the bottom end of the sohc zc (non vtec) is the same as the d16a6. the pistons are the same. the DOHC ZC pistons are higher compression, not SOHC.

you can use all the parts.

 

oops, then if i get high compression pistons on the soch, would it make a difference on the power cus my uncle has a machine shop and hes gonna do that and im just gonna install it myself

 

hell yeah it will make a diference in power. and i am pretty sure that the zc pistons are higher comp than the si's. but someone corect me if im wrong

Oh, ye of little faith!

 

QUESTION? WHY WOULD YOU BLOW UP YOU'RE ENGINE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THATS PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE THIS DILEMMA, IS CUZ STUPIDITY OVERRODE ANY COMMON SENSE YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD, NO OIL???? IF YOU'RE ALREADY DOING A SWAP YOU COULD HAVE JUST YANKED THE EXISTING MOTOR AND SOLD IT AND MADE YOURSELF SOME MONEY AND GOT THE PORT AND POLISH................, BUT FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, THATS RETARDED.

 

naw i believe u but i also heard that the zc pistons in a a6 block were like 10.2:1 comp ratio

 

i think you guys got it all wrong,, i blew the engine cus i got pissed off and didnt give a f##k no more. i have spent over 20000 in tickets and impounds in the las 2 yrs. i did some time already, and believe it or not, for fix it tickets,,,,well cus my student visa expired and i cant leave the country but cant get my residency cus im in the process,,, so everytime i geet pulled over (i.e.,,one lug nut missing on my rear tire) i get screwes with no vaseline. i got sick of it and let is go on purpose. and 250 for another engine aint s#it, i can get that in less then a days work. but yeah,, got my engine saved just need to pick it up tommorrow (d16a6) andi still need help. d16a6 w/ dohc zc pistons?? cus those are high comp but no one ever clarified if they are compatible (im worried about clearence with the doch zc head). the d16a6 im getting is running so if the power gain is too little, ill just leave the engine as is till i get my h22 in that puppy. or i can do it and then sell it to oe of you fine folks for more cus its modded ...hehe

you do understand there is a sohc zc and a dohc zc, right? it doesnt seem like it...

elecgenius, just throw the d16a6 in there and stay legal.

 

just to note, i dont think the DOHC ZC head fits on a a6 block

 

it sure doesnt.

who said that it did?

just to note, H series trannies dont fit ZC's either.

 

he was talking about puting the DOHC on the SOHC motor(from what i quickly read) no one said anythign so i just wanted to make sure its known : P

no he didnt.

it was about using DOHC pistons were worth it or not. not the head.

he said right there.... clearence with the DOHC ... head

 

you sould be banned moron!!!! hijacking threads to talk s#it. is it a dumb *** question to ask if the clearence from the doch zc pistons is safe enough to install them on an a6 moto without f'n it up.....leave my thread

 

i appreciate all your guys input (even that one moron) but thank you, i got my d16a6 and i just repackaged the engines gaskets and got the cleanest looking engine ever. im ready to take out the other (just take off axles and unbolt motor mounts. it should be done by sunday. thank you for all your help once again and im just gonna unreferee it and later on stick an h22 i got laying around my house
