Higher compression ratio on a D16A1 block

[awright3331]

I would like to accomplish higher compression on my block. My thoughts where to get the z6 head and port and polish it, and bore the motor for use with compact pistons(camelbacks) or bigger fatter pistons, with a cold air intake and a magnaflow muffler(or no muffler at all) But im not sure on this can anyone give me some advice on it. Ive had hondas before so yes I know that I wont get much power out of a D series block. Im just looking to give it a little extra ZIP down the road. I was thinking about higher grade camshafts because there are 2 cams on this motor(DOHC).

idk who would make cams for the z6. I would honestly do a b16 swap.

I agree. B16 swap would do the samething and you wouldnt have to worry aobut the higher compression blowing out your old gaskets or anything

B16 with a turbo charger.....plenty of extra zip.
