i was just thinking of building my d16 up
wanted to go with crower rods and je pistons but they cost around $1100
so searched on the net a bit and found this:
B16A Pistons matched with non-US Supra 1G-GTE pistons
Not too much is known about this set-up but is supposedly used widely in Thailand. This is information has been gathered from Turbopanda. He sells this set-up for about $400. This set-up will net a lower compression ratio.
If you grab a D16Y8 connecting rod, and a B16A connecting rod, and put them side-by-side, the D-series rods are toothpicks compared to the B16A rods. The Toyota pistons' height make up for the length of the rod, that's why it’s still usable in a D series engine.
D16 pistons are 75mm. 1G-GTE supra pistons are also 75mm. B16A rods are a lot stronger than D16 rods, and can handle boost way better. The rods are modified in order to accept the Toyota pistons.
Prices per Turbopanda:
-4 used pistons ($113.40) + 4 new piston rings ($46.60) + 4 connecting rods ($95) + machinework ($65) + shipping costs ($95) = $415 total.
-6 used pistons ($170) + 6 new piston rings ($70) + 4 connecting rods ($95) + machinework ($65) + shipping costs ($95) = $495 total.
(shipping prices are from Thailand)
This seems to be a good set-up as the supra pistons are forged and not cast.
i found a thread on it on the HS tuners honda forums
wat do u guys think??
will this setup hold boost fine and if yes how much hp do u think this setup can hold given that i throw in a block gaurd aswell???
any1 tried this b4???
