i was curious if these pistons would fit right into my d16y8? i also wanted to know how strong these pistons are for all motor, or if i should just go w/ something aftermarket?

 

No. Not to any good effect anyways.

i read w/ those pistons on my d16y8 i should expect somewhere around 11.1 compression.

 

they have a 00 CC displacement....

they'd be nice for a little build up

 

What about wrist pin height?

 

EDIT: I am a moron.

THe stock D16Y8 pistons have a compression height of 1.154 and a stock deck clearance of .027

The D15B7 piston has a compression height of 1.181 which is +.027 taller than the D16Y8.

Running D15B7 pistons will give you a zero deck.

With 0.00 deck clearance, a 0.00 cc dome and a stock Y8 gasket (0.037) your compression will be 11.760142808463701

 

Can't put B7 pistons in a d16...the wrist pin location is lower than with d16 pistons meaning they will slap the valves nicely when you start the motor up

Um when the piston is at the top no valves are open

Im not sure about that, id have to check into it. I dont believe it will though, the cams on the y8 are bigger but I dont think they are big enough to make too much of a difference. Has anyone clayed this set up to find out if the piston to valve clearance is sufficiant?

I have absolutely no experience with D series motors, I just wanted to shed some light on the compression ratio question.

 

try out some a6 pistons

 

THe stock D16Y8 pistons have a compression height of 1.154 and a stock deck clearance of .027
The D16A6 piston has a compression height of 1.161 which is +.007 taller than the D16Y8.

Running D16A6 pistons will give you a .007 deck.

With 0.007 deck clearance, a -3.40cc dome and a stock 3 layer D16Y8 gasket (0.037) your compression will be 10.665359661199687

Using a D16Y8 2 layer (.0250) gasket your compression will be 10.99244590418631
