well.. first off i guess hello.. hah
moving right along....
i have a few questions about a NA D16 build... im not new to cars.. or to hondas.. but recently ive been thinking about doing a budget build on a non vtec d16 motor.... i suppose id like to start with the a6 as a platform but thats not really that important.. i have a z6 block and a b7 head laying around that i could technically make a a6 out of.. anyway on tothe questions
id LIKE to shoot for around 160whp ( or more if its feasable). i would LIKE to use the bisi stage 2 regrind as the cam however if anyone makes a grind simular to that for a lesser price id like to know.. i know gude,crower($$), delta etc all do regrinds... if anyone has built a motor using these guys and made good power i would appreciate some insight.
nextttt whats (approx.) the most agressive cam i can get away with using a6 springs and retainers? im not concerned with idle as the car wont be a DD but as far as i can tell you cant get TOO agressive without going the hard weld/billet core route on a cam?
ill be using 88-89 d16a1 pistons to get compression ~11:1.. ive ehard talk of using civic GX pistons to get around 13:1 but i have no idea what year the pistons are for.. theres is apparently 2 versons of the GX pistons... can anyone shed some light on this?
i appreciate all the info and sorry in advance for them loooonnnngg post haha
thanks again!! all info is appreciated
