B16A Rods matched with non-US Supra 1G-GTE pistons:
I calculated the following #'s for this combo
Piston volume = -7cc dish
Compression height = 33mm
Rod length = 134mm
Pro's of this setup = Strong B16 rods and forged Supra pistons
This is information has been gathered from Turbopanda ( username on
www.honda-tech.com ). He sells this set-up for about $400.
The shorter B16 rods with a D16 stroke will result in a 1.49 rod/stroke ratio, down from the stock D16 1.52 R/S ratio.
The Toyota pistons' height make up for the length of the rod, that's why it’s still usable in a D series engine.
1G-GTE Supra pistons are 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. Installation is as simple as replacing your pistons and rods. The Crankshaft needs no modification, although the bottom of the short block will need to be notched a little so that there is enough clearance for the B16A rods
Using Susuki Vitara Pistons:
Need to get them out of the 98-99 Suzuki Vaitra 1.6 sohc (also used in some Suzuki Esteems)
code of piston = G16
NOT Forged
Have floating style wrist pins.
Can use stock wrist pins.
75mm bore (available os)
