Don't do it. VX pistons have a massive dish and compression will be 7:1 with a D16z6...get a different motor

Well the people on clubcivic are ******* idiots. It works with B7's because the b7's have flat top pistons which give high compression, the VX ones have a huge dish that will make the compression extremely low, and your friend will have probably 20 less HP than he did before.
