I am geting a whole Z6 engine for my CRX SI. I have a turbo, and I'm building my engine up towards 260-280 horse. My question is: should I go with the A6 crank or the Z6 crank? Are they the same or are they interchangable, or what?

 

the cranks are intercheangeable

but i would use the Z6 one IMO

some people say the A6 one its more stronger..... but i like the Z6 better....
stock rods are going to lik eabout 200 hp only..... so get new ones if u want way more......

 

I am actually going with eagle rods, and forged pistons. I'm building everything up, I just wasn't sure about what the best crank was.

 

depends if the A6 crank has the small snout. Make sure you have the correct pulleys if it does.

 

what do u mean by snout? and how much stronger are d16a1 rods/will they fit a6 crank?

 

some of the early D15/D16's have small snout.

ZC rods are the same strength as every other stock D16 rod.

 

alright to clear this up from what i understand just use the crank and the same crank pully for that motor hence if it is a 91 dohc zc then use the same crank pully then 91 dohc zc pully that is what i understand all this to be some interchange but if you have both then just use the correct one....

 

good question... I just got my A6 crank today for my built mini-me turbo

I have a 90 CRX SI... I am sure the A6 crank is sufficient, I was just wondering about the differences... Thanks for the replies

 

there are slight differences in the rod journal dia. so check out the oil clearances when mixing rods and cranks.
