Civic EG

Hey guys im looking to run or mod my z6 block and put ZC pistons in it. Wondering what kinda work has to be done to the block to run this set up. And what kinda power gains am i looking at?
Any input would be nice thanks.

hey
well friom what io have heard you cant put zc pistons in a z6 block if you have a z6 head the vlave reliefs are in the wrong place but im not sure about difrent heads such as a b7 head or a y8 head but if you ron zc pistons in a z6 block the compression will be up there somwhere around 12 to 1 depending on your head gasket choice
if you want to stick with a z6 head just get some b7 pistons and a z6 head gasket and that will be 11.7 to 1 copression ratio wich is pretty damn good with that high of a compresion a good tune and simple bolt ons such as header intake exhaust you should be somwhere aroud 150 hp
if youwanna build a monster d16z6 check out
www.d-series.org they have crazy d motors

So basically that hear say crap right. I was totally stoked on running ZC pistons. So like what will happen the valves will get smashed or what?

i have never tried it but im almost 100percent sure the valves will hit and grenade inside your motor i think the b7 head will be fine but thats not a vtec head so its kinda pointless on an na motor

ok well im gonna eat my words on this one
i guess you can put zc pistons in a z6 with a z6 head but get ready for some crazy tuning
i would really suggest becoming a member of d-series.org they have a shit load of info on p29s in z6 block
sorry for the wrong info

See i just read it on d-series.org that you can do it to a y8 block and be fine. What is the difference to a z6. i mean they are exactly the same motors, but a different OBD

i was wrong my bad dude im sorry
i think the reason i thought it wouldnt work is bc of how much tuning it takes to get it right and alot of people face issues with detonation but i say go for it

Im gonna try and go for it lol. tune around here is 120 an hour. So im looking at 12 to 1 cr?

damn 120 an hour thats awesome
yup 12 to 1 if you use a z6 head gasket if you use a 2 layer y8 it will be 12.5 to 1

so i might as well kick it up to the 2 layer y8 gasket?

yeah if you got the time and money for tuning then hell yeah go for it

Wondering if i should have it sleeved? and run a 3 layer gasket instead of a 2

nahh no need to get it sleeved stock sleeves hold up to like 300 hp id worry about your rods first

Thinking about picking up a set of Crower Rods.

tell us your whole pla for the motor honestly stock rods are fine up too about 200 whp wich you wont get with an na d16z6 unless you spray it
