CP or JE High compression. There are a few good ones, I just picked those two because of their good rep.

The z6 is a lame N/A motor. You will spend a ton of money to still have a slow car.

Just answer his question...
Im doing the same thing on my y8, and JE were my choice pistons, coupled with Eagle Hbeam rods and a nice zex cam. The goal is nitrous eventually...

Really the only way to get fast on a N/A SOHC 1.6 is with a stroker kit and cams. Anything less would really get uncivilized. You NEED displacement for a N/A build - just revving it higher won't get you more torque. The usual way N/A makes horsepower is with high compression ratios.

Ah, I desided to swap it. It will never be as fast as a gsr swap even if i build it up.

Good to hear!
For as much as you would spend building a N/A d series, you would be disapointed with the final result.
