I was wondering if anyone had any supra pistons for the D16 engine build with the B16 Rods. I have a B16 sitting in my garage and I dont know what to do with it so I wanted to build a D16 since I have everything I need for it to run.

Does anyone have any supra pistons 75mm? I pmed the panda guy about them but he isnt replying. The reason I'm not putting the B16 into my civic is cause I dont have a tranny for it and I don't want to spend to much money on a civic.

I've been searching all over if someone still might have them but I cant find any.

 

IIRC, Supras run an 86mm bore. That's a little larger than your D series

 

 

what does IIRC mean?

 

yes i do understand that the 86mm will not fit but the 75mm will fit..

i dont think you guys have heard of this build but this isnt new and has been done before. im not asking how to do it or if its possible im asking where i can get some 1G-GTE supra pistons that have the 75mm bore.

 

ebay

 

u need 1jz supra pistons

 

find me a link.. ill buy them right now

 

buy the mfrom toyota

 

if im gona pay that much for them from the dealer i might as well find a transmission for the b16 and put that in..

 

then do it lol

 

or ill just find them for like 150$

 

This thread is ridiculous. If you already know what you're going to do, then do it. I dont see the point of this thread at all...

If I Remember Correctly

 

I know what im going to do but I need the stuff to do it.. im asking if anyone knows where I can get some pistons or if anyone has some.. thats all.. im not asking for ppls opinions on this or how to do it.. if anyone can help me find them then please help..

 

friggin check ebay

look for them on your own, if you dont find them, post back, seems as if you are simply sitting back and waiting for someone to spoon the link to you

 

Honestly, you dont need the supra pistons, there are so many different OEM pistons that fit, and the pistons will outlast the B16 rods, hence no need for the supra pistons

 

Well i tried looking for you...no luck. I was hoping to make a smartass remark about how easily i found them, but i got nothing. You do however get a consolation prize

I just learned this, but those pistons aren't used as a stock replacement...they're used in lieu of a Vitara or other "aftermarket" turbo piston. The link above shows how you can use the aforementioned piston with LS rods for a cheap turbo build...

 

well ill tell you why i posted here.. this was the last place.. i was looking for them for about 2 weeks already.. searching everywhere online.. and tried to contact the guy that used to sell them but hes not replying.. i didnt just post here and folded my hands and waited.. im still trying to find them.. thanks for helping out..

 

the reason i need the supra pistons is cause they are the same bore but they are higher and would raise the compression but the B16 rods are shorter so it lowers the compression to about 8.5 which is a good ration..

thats the reason i need the pistons.. if i put the d16 pistons to fit on the rods the compression is going to be way too low..

plus the supra pistons are forged or cast or something.. but theyre strong..

 

i beleive i read while i was searching that the pistons are forged! just to help you a lil!

 

what about using PM7 dome's? would they work?

 

Have you tried the local junkyard?

 

not worth it adding shorter rods to a already bad rod to stroke ratio engine is just dumb get a set of ls rods machine them and slap on some vitaras

 

maybe.. i think they might but would they last as long as the rods? ill see if i can get some and try them out.. thanks

That car is only in Thailand.. the local junkyard wouldn't have it.. i tried searching on car-part dot com but there arent any..

because i have the rods for free sitting in my garage.. and dont even have the ls rods.. and it be good enough for up to 300hp for sure.. thats all i want.. im gona post the block maybe anyways so that should help..
