Default d16 rods.........

what is the best possible stock honda rod that will go in my d16a6 even if it needs a little modification?

I heard

*86-87 integra
*88-89 integra
*88-91 dohc zc
*b18a1 with modification
*B18b1 with modification

I'd like to possibly make it a 1.8 with stock honda parts cause I can get my hands all over it what is the best choice I heard if you dont want modification that the 86-87 integra were the strongest but?????.......... help please

Oh, boy, you again! Have you forgotten your last 1.8l thread so soon?

Anyway, the best (i.e., easiest to fit) stock rod would be from a D16A1 (86-89 Integra) but without a deck block you will not be able to use stock Honda parts to stroke your engine. It has been tried before. Also granted the ease of obtaining a higher displacement B-series engines with stronger valvetrains, the practicality of a stroked D-series is anything but.

ha ha ha ha no I havent forgotten but one more question

do you think I could use dohc zc pistons and rods in a d16a6 witha d16z6 head and still have valve clearance and be able to run on 91 octane pump gas?

seeings how the z6 head on a6 block raises compression and then the dohc zc pistons and rods raise compression too will I be able to do both or will I only be able to do the rods and pistons with stock head ???

what are your plans with the motor.???? if its boost or high hp all motor... i would go with the ls rod with 1st gen supra pistons.. i hear it good for high numbers o boost search it and see what you can do... tryign to make a d16 a 1.8 it would be cheaper to just get a b18a1 pretty much just a drop in... mount kits are super cheap now too.. so thats a thought

well the zc rods and pistons and the z6 head I already have and I'm on a budjet that's why I'm particularly doing this setup but do you know if I'll have valve clearance and be able to run on 91 octane pump gas?
