- Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:49 pm #277253 hi guys rite was talking to a guy on another forum and he told me that the the 1.5 non vtec out of a lsi civic has a short strok to it also the crank in the d16z6 is technicly forged there for i was thinking would the d16z6 crank fit in a 1.5 block with the 1.5 pistons gaining me lower compretion for running boost ? it was just an idea befoer i rip my 1.5 apart as well as the d16 or should i jsut carry on building that up
