ZC pistons in D16Z6
I recently put ZC Pistons in My sohc d16z6 motor and i was just wondering if anyone else has done the same and how much Hp was gained and what problems they came across with lack of fuel and the compression difference!

Re: ZC pistons in D16Z6
First off, that is some crazy compression! Somewhere close to 13.6:1. Do you have a stock HG on it? Is this actually running now? If so, do you hear any detonation?
My guess is that you are going to need to retard the ignition. Especially now that it's getting hotter outside. I have an LS/VTEC with 13.1:1 on pump gas right now, but I am also using AEM EMS and only 23 degrees of timing.
In my opinion, the compression is too high to run on the street with pump gas, and no engine management.
