So ive been thinking of giving my little D16z6 a bit of a boost. I want to upgrade the compression, but dont know how to go about doing it. I know I need new rods, but who would be the best to go with?

 

if you're boosting it's more likely you'd want to lower the compression. pistons are a great way to do that. and while you're getting those, a nice set of forged rods would solidify your bottom end even further.

 

I know that I need new rods and pistons, but I dont know who to go through? I can only find stuff for B-seriers motors. I need to upgrade my compression ratio to about 11.5:1.

Who makes pistons and rods for a D16z6?

 

D16A1 pistons from a 88-89 Integra ZC will bump you to 12 to 1...those rods will handle more than stock Z6 as well
