I'm new to the D series engines and don't know very much about them. I'm looking to build a streetable D16Z6 for daily driving while I build up my F/I car. I started reading through the forum last night but didn't find anything out about compression ratios. Is the D series similiar to the B series in maximum compression when using pump gas? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

You'll want to hit up exospeedAMcrx. He is the man if you are gonna go D-series

 

if you need any questions answered about D series give us a call at RS Machines

A very common swap is to A1 or A6 pistons to up the C/R. Here is a good link to follow to check out different compression ratios for the D.

Internal wise right now, I'm thinking Eagle rods, Arias 11:1 pistons. Top end so far is ZEX street/strip cam, haven't looked into the valvetrain yet. Critique it.

 

If you are going all-motor I would stick with OEM parts for now. You can use shot peened LS rods and some A1 or A6 pistons for even more compression than the Arias 11:1. The Eagle Rods and forged pistons are probably overkill unless you plan on going nitrous or turbo. I am using Eagle rods and SRP pistons for my FI build up.

 

Yeah. I'm planning on adding a 50-75 shot somewhere down the road.

 

Eagle Rods and forged pistons are a good idea then.

 

here is a forum dedicated to the d series motor. go here and ask questions.

Good call. I am a moderator on that forum.

 

I know there's another forum dedicated to the D-series........I forgot the name though........anyone know?

 

dseries.org

RS motorworks knows what they are doing!
EXOspeed knows what they are doing too!

Talk to wil from exospeed on this board, he is knowledgable.

 

Another good person to pick the brain of about D series motors is Mista Bone from here.

Have a friend here with single cam d16 vtec running 8.5 in the 1/8th. It is also his daily driver. All oem internals. Mostly headwork, hondata, i/h/e. Also lots of tuning to perfect it.

 

can't forget spade

and exospeed

 

LS rods will fit a D series?

 

NEVERMIND
