i was wondering where i could get a set of rods and pistons for my z6?
everyone seems to be offering lower compression and bigger bores. I want mine to remain stock bore and compression. i just need the peace of mind that my bottom end can handle more boost

thanks

 

Good luck trying to find shelf aftermarket d16z6 in the 9.2:1 compression. I tried looking for stock compression when buying my pistons but the most of the popular piston makers only have 9.0:1 for forced induction apps. Check my sig I have a set of 9.0:1 compression CP pistons for sale, stock 75 mm bore. I am selling them cause I need to get 75.5 mm pistons.

 

can you notch a block for beefy rods without pulling it from the car, i had my pan off yesterday and was kinda looking but didnt look like it?

 

i think 8.5:1 d16a6 pistons give something like 9.3:1 in a z6...i think.

i have the SRP 9.0:1 forged pistons (JE) and eagle rod setup

pretty good, but i also went 0.040 over

anyways i say that shall be good enough 4 u

 

so 9.0 is that best i can do to retain the stock compression and the stock bore of 75mm

i beleive so JE (SRP) only has 3 pistons for the Z6 (compression wise)

the 9.0.1
the 9.2.1 Stock
the 11.5.1 (donq quote me since i cant remember , but its the high comp one)

 

thank for the great info i think ill have to hit those guys up
