Ah, I see. Nop, you can use Rover 216 GTi/Coupe (Tomcat) pistons, as the engine is D16A9 as Concerto/CRX one. Gearboxes are different, Rovers using Honda engine have mechanical clutch, instead of hydraulic ones. And K and L Series Rover, have very different gearboxes, they don't fit into our engines...

Sorry but I didn't get what you meant to say.

Please explain me another way

SP, yes, but I don't think they are forged, and here in PT pistons are "cheap", so spending I little bit more money can give higher engine quality!

I guess none. D15B2/7 uses higher dome than D16Z6, but still not higher than piston borders, its "flat" so to speak. A better piston than the ones I got are PM7 from D16A9, are the ones with the highest dome OEM! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/jlicrx/P29top1-2.jpg I'm getting more ...

Saxophonias, usually car insurance in Portugal costs medium of 250€.

Its higher/lower depending on drivers age, number of acidents, car's power/displacement, but it goes around that value.

Why does D14A2/D16Z6 head produce more power than a full D16Z6 engine?

Your answer was documented through pictures!

D16Z6 piston. P28:


D14A2 piston.


Huge difference!

Demolik, that is because Suzuki Vitara pistons, being 75mm wide are compatible with D Series STD engines, but they lower CR values to just slightly higher than 8:1.

HondaNickx, Saxophonias is right.

Other than full inox, most brands use aluminox, which corrodes. Also, exhaust manifolds tend to crack near soldiers, when they do crack.

But I don't argue that they might be the best thing to power output on hole powerband.

Excelent torque, great lines.

Can't wait to VTEC my D14 and see how it goes, hope I won't lose the flat torque shape.

Law, Bisimoto headers look like this:



This is a B-Series engine. As the Exhaust Manifold shape isn't ordinary, it is likely that it interferes with A/C Radiator, or P/S pump.
