stephen English Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Anyone tell me if d16y8 pistons are the same as d15b ones. £80 cheaper for forged y8 ones over 15b... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 At a guess I think all the D series bottom end internals are the same size? @vtec2011 or @EmZvr might know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 They are not the same, because D15 block has a shorter deck height than D16. Use the correct ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah... what EmZvr said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen English Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ok cheers, i thought the only difference in the 15-16 block was the dome on the top and rod length.. ? If i used the d15 rods on the y8 forged pistons that should create lower compression. Thus being better for a turbo setup?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 You have a D15B JDM block with 137mm rods, right ? If yes, It should be the opposite - higher compression. D15B and D16 use the same 137mm rods but D15B has 27.X mm compression height pistons (some say it's 27.4, others 27.75) and D16Y8 has 29.3 comression height pistons.I think you can use D17 pistons if they are cheaper. They have 27mm compression height pistons which should result in slightly less static compression. If you have a normal D15 block with 134mm rods than D16 pistons won't even fit the rods because it uses different sized rod journals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
