Civic EG

hi im trying to do this set up but i don't know if works good on pump gas im try to do reserch but don't find to much any hel will be great
d16a6 block and crank
pm7/p29 pistons and rods
y8 head
cr to 12:61.1 whit y8 head gasket
any body do this set up i hear you have to cut the pistons
can any body help

also i have d16a6 head gasket if that helps

I think you will need MINIMUM 93 octane to run that CR safely, and a very good tune.
I'll let someone who knows for sure chime in on cutting the pistons

not sure on cutting the pistons, but i would def. check valve clearence prior to final assembly btw ive heard the older a6 blocks are better ones for a mini me setup

the valve reliefs on p29's are in the wrong place for vtec heads.
claying is a bitch with vtec heads
and the dome blocks the burn.
you will make more power with a flatter piston/slightly lower CR.
pg6 for instance:

note the smaller dome than the p29
keep in mind to make power with a high CR motor you will need a performance cam which will have more lift and/or duration.
very high CR motors are not much fun to drive on the street, they only make power at high rpm
a6 block = z6 block, good choice

its not too bad checking valve clearence on a vtec head... everyone i know usese air pressure to engage the system... but i havent seen it done in person just heard it works...

i have, the fitting you use to connect air to can break if your not careful.

double post???

ok sounds like vtec head is not good idea which head will be better

i was looking in knology.com the y7 head is the same cr as the y8 and is not vtec you guys think this work

i have done y7 heads are the same design as a y8 with out vtec... this head works good for a non vtec sohc build... ive put y7 heads on y8 bottoms before... it seemd to make really good low end torque

y7 head has the same valve placement as the vtec heads.
same size CC for that matter.
you can actually put a y7 valve train on a z6 head.
therefore you will have the same issues as the z6 head.
not saying it can't be done.
y7 ports are smaller though, you will want bigger for N/A.
here is a link to an a6/p29 build. but he is using an a6/b7 head:
