i think im gonna go with a d16a1 turboed for my 90 hatch, but im having problems finding rods, eagle has some but they are for different d16 series, does anyone know if all of the d16 rods are the same, im thinking of goin with eagle rods, cp pistons 9:5:1 maybe? sound good, stock crank, deff. gonna have the block sleeved, thinking of running a max of 15 psi, does this setup sound up to it, any tips on anything else i should be looking into, head packages maybe?

 

D16a1 in a hatch..


i hope you know what you are talking about...that doesnt even bolt up to your chassis

 

i thought all d-series could bolt rite in, this **** is pissin me off i was told the car was a 92, and its a 90, which blows, how much power can you squeeze out of a sohc? im aimin for around 300 with a turbo

 

Yeah..that should be easy to do, but no not all d series just bolt up. You could go for a DOHC zc which is much like the D16a1 but more horse power and bolts up perfectly. You might have lucked out with the EF chassis...lighter frame at least!

 

so if its the jdmzcversion of the american d16a1 (86-89 integra) the jdm zc will bolt rite in to a 1990 civic hatch huh??? this is very interesting seein as i have a dohc zc in my 87 integra, the engine is a lil tired, but should handle a nice rebuild, and a lil boooost?

 

no no no


JDM ZC d16a9......not out of an integra but out of a CRX Vti.

o no what i was saying is that the zc is pretty much the same engine as the d16a1, same stroke and bore, i guess it just mounts differently, thanx for that link, know all i have to do is figure out what i wanna do, dohc zc with a turbo or a sohc built engine with a turbo, im leanin toward sohc i hate buyin stuff for zc'x and jdm parts are so hard to find, at least a sohc i can find good ole american parts

 

Oh..i got you..yeah..my zc's been a pain in the ***....but im still stoked for when its running..


could always go for a b series

 

yeah i looked into it seems like to much of a pain, like i said before i was told it was a 92 eg so i was anticipating a bad bseries that will drop rite in, change of plans lol jdm addiction has a dohc zc 88-91 for like 800 bucks usually their engines come with harness and all, could prolly through an ebay turbo on there and make a lil horse power

 

yeah..there is a bunch of people running boost with the zc. if you check out Thezcr.com they have a bunch of info on it..
