What pistons?
 

OK, I have a DOHC ZC engine waiting for some pistons and rods. I have a chance to get any D-Series piston and rod set for 50.00! What rods and pistons will give my ZC the highest compression? Im goin N/A so i need high compression.

Civic GX pistons. Any others and I'm pretty sure you'll be losing compression with the huge head volume of the zc.

Re: What pistons?
 

Stock pistons? or Forged Pistons? If they are gonna be stock, i think CTR pistons will yield the Highest compression ratio.

What are CTR Pistons? And yes any pistons that i get will be stock D-Series Pistons. Not forged.

CTR=Civic Type R

I have no clue what you should get...:o

We're talking D series not B series.

yes d-series pistons. B-series will not go right in

Like I said, the ZC(along with the USDM DOHC D series engine) has the highest head volume of all the d series engines, like wise it has pistons with the largest domes, so any other d series pistons are going to lower compression, Except for the GX(civics than run on natural gas) pistons I think those have an even larger dome. Call up Honda parts department, they should know.

Your only other option is shaving the head.

agreed, 12:1 compression ;)

so now, is that GX a d series? I thought those were newer cars (b series or better?) that gov employees drove? wrong?

they are 96-00 but they are d series engines

huh! interesting, I didnt know that. note to self: get GX pistons when rebuilding my ZC...

only problem is you may need a vin number to order them, you also need to be a CNG authorized repair center(we are one of 2 in chicago).
