I wonder how dependable that is, wouldnt there be a similar problem to having a stock b16 block with oversized cams? as to the little a6 block with the bigger zc cams..

Yes, it can be done, but why not just spend the $$$ on another ZC engine?

I didnt do it but here are some of his reasons on why to do it.


A challenge, because so many people either say it cant be done (when it clearly easily can) or really wanted to know if it was possible.

It was cheap.

The ZC head has a 43cc combustion chamber and with the d16a6 -3cc pistons it makes for 8.3:1 compression, perfect for medium high boost turboing 12psi plus.

If you were going NA use the ZC PM7 or P29 pistons.

For those of you in the US it'll be cheaper to by or import a ZC head than it will be to get a whole motor and you wont be able to prove the k's of the motor either.

New ZC's are no longer available but new d16a's are!

I remember seeing a guy at Palmdale raceway a few years back with this same set up. Its performance wasnt anything special, but cool nonetheless. I also have it on video somewhere, lol.
