SolLesHonda Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Ok, mainly this is more of a question to ..SSR.. and Cranny, unless anyone else knows. I am thinking of doing an A6 Block with P29 ZC pistons to bump compression. Then, Crower 3 cam and valvetrain. Ported head. Micropolished/balanced Crank. I will list all mods later, but my real question is, Will the ZC pistons fit well in the A6 block without bumping the compression too high? I am running on 93 pump gas and can't be running special race gas. I want a healthy ass motor. This thing, with the tranny from ..SSR.. and the other mods I have ready will lay the smackdown on some B's and K's. So, P29's in a A6 ... good or no? Streetable?

..SSR.. Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 11.16:1 with an A6 head, 12.11:1 with a Z6 head. Streetable if you get it tuned. RM > Crower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Which would you go? Z6 or A6? Either way the head will be built, and the tranny will be EX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 A6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Awesome man. As for rods. Should I use the ZC rods or A6 rods? Keep the A6 head too, or should I put a Z6 head on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 A6 head, A6 rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Bad ass. That saves me money. I was wondering about clearances, but I did my research and see that I will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idon'tknow Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Why is the a6 head better than the z6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 No VTEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 i agree with everything SSR is saying. he knows more than me with little details like clearances of the different engines and such. only thing i dont understand is why you would avise against VTEC SSR? Z6 head on that setup would rock man. i mean why not , can only make what you have better , specially if hes gonna cam it out. specially since he says he wants healthy engine. VTEC (twin profile cam) head better for fuel mileage and performance , rather than a built A6 head (which most of us agree is amoung best flowing head) , thats locked into 1 cam profile , in other words it will idle crapty , and burn a bunch of gas even under soft driving conditions. and it will too.

..SSR.. Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 If you're going to do anything to a D series, then do something. pootang ass setups don't make you fast. Custom cam to make power to 9,000 RPM. You gain more power and response without the added weight of VTEC. Also have more oil for the bearings. Using custom rocker arms in BVTEC's to make them non-VTEC (not VTEC killers) grinding away the primaries, has netted gains (can't say how much), and added 400 RPM to the powerband.

cranny Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 that custom cam your talking about to make it make power at 9000 rpm , will make that car prolly not even idle sitting still without keeping it revving a bit. if you use a VTEC head you can eliminate that prolem. you can put cams in it that have more agressive primary and secondary lobes , and the same profile your talking about to make it run at 9000 rpm on the middle lobe(VTEC lobe). see what im saying? id say its gonna cost you big money anyways(more than solles is talking about spending) , to even make a SOHC engine rev that high. youl need to change everything in the engine , everything.

SolLesHonda Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Not everything. With the Z6 head and the P29's, the compression will be high, higher than I want. So, I threw that out of the window early. Also, I will be able to definitely rev to about 8500 on the setup I am now doing. I sat down with my tuner today adn got the setup I am thinking about going with. Skunk2 or RM springs/retainers.

SolLesHonda Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I mean dude, I appreciate the help, but I don't necessarily want the cheap way out. That setup would make what, 130whp? Run mid 14's? I will definitely take into consideration, but I don't know man. I still like the idea of the other setup too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah. Unless you get a good header and good headwork (good, not someone local who all the rice boys think is good because he made their ports shiny), and a good bottom end, you won't make power. If you want to make power, you need a big cam. Big cam needs headwork. Headwork needs a good header. All of the above needs a bottom end that can rev high (8k+).
