I have a d16y8 motor
Items buying
-pm6 (ZC) Pistons
-.079mm cometic head gasket
-zex stage 2 cam
The compression comes out to be around 11.2 to 1

I checked several compression calc's I just want to make sure its some where around that and not higher than 11.5. And I was wondering if anyone knows any HP numbers from other people doing the same build. I've been researching for a while and didnt get any def #'s.

Thanks Keith

 

In for some responses. Doing a similair build, already have my pistons coming, but from what i've read, it should be around the high 12's. I'm personaly hoping this is correct.

 

Ya with the stock head gasket it is that high. Just wanted to make sure that the .074mm head gasket will drop it to a more streetable level.

 

ah yup, my bad... reading owns me

 

up to 140 whp would be my guess with a good tune

 

Awesome, Its more hp than i have now, that all I wanted. Thanks for the info.

My car made a hole 113hp with 4-1 header, no cat and the silencer in(2 hp less with it out) and that on a 208,000 mile motor!


But Now with the cat back on and a S2000 muffer I'm hopen that this motor work give the car a little more of a kick again.

Its just the c/r that I am worried about. I just dont want to be pinging all over the place because of the compression being to high.
