I've rear your fantastic Topic (with big "T") and now I would like to do the same as you suggested: a powerful N/A D16.
my friends with the knowledge that we have on d-series stops to sotf tuning with engine power of about 140 HP and the major of them swaps on B-series.
I like my d16 and i don't want to swap.
My question is: if I would like to buy some used components from you guys on this forum, is there anyone that could help me? for example, do I have to buy P29 pistons? or can I mantain my originals?
for my specific engine what is the best and cheap setup? naturally I'll reach the power that I pay eheheh
wich components I can recover from old models?
thank u very much
byezzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Welcome; hmmm, Italy- i love Italian women.
the p29 piston is essential for the high compression you need to make power. pretty much everything else can be used that is already on or in your motor, however, you DEFINATELY need to swap the pistons (obviously) and tune. Additional parts and mods from there, if the right ones are chosen, will increase power. Ported head, big cam, nice intake manifold, nice header, etc.
