i recently purchased a zc and i was wondering has anyone did a stroker for a single cam motor such as using a aftermarket or using a stock crank from another honda motor?
What cranks could possibly fit in the d16a1 block?
Sohc cam stroker?

Just sleeve it and bore the hell out of it.
I have seen the D17's crank used with extensive modifications. It would be cheaper to buy a B series swap. However you can get decent hp numbers from a single cam buy going hi comp with vtec or a small turbo.
yeah i've seen that. high compression d17 cranks used in d16a6 blocks. you have to mod the hell out of the block though. its interesting though. it puts you right around 1.8 something liters.Originally Posted by jbhondatech
Did they post the power they made with the d17 crank.
nah, saw it in a magazine. Lol
yea its in the honda tunning mag. they used pistons and alot of D17 internals. it mad a **** load of power also..
The problem with these articles is that they don't even give you a clue to the ammount that it would cost to build it. I just got done putting a TSX crank in a 2000 S2000 and that project was around 3000 in just parts.
But this is a a single cam would it still be around that price i was thinking of using a D17 and get the block bored it could work but would i have to do work to the head since i increased the stroke?
if you kept the same bore but went with a longer stroke, you wouldnt need head work. if you bore it, you need to bore the head too.
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
Keep in mind when you increase displacement you are creating an engine that ingests more air at a lower rpm. Your stock head and cam may not be able to flow the amount of air that the bottem end is trying to pull in. So you will need to upgrade the intake and exhaust flow to keep up. Case in point the TSX crank in the S2000 brought the displacement up to 2.4 liters. This allowed the engine to ingest as much air at 6400 as the stock 2.0 was ingesting at 8400 the stock cams could not keep up and power took a nose dive at 7500. As far as costs go you will have to buy the crank rods pistons berrings rings gaskets and machine work. I could not tell you the amount because I have never stroked a D series. However I would imagine it to be more than a B series swap. For some being different is worth the price and only you can make that decision, just do your reserch.
