I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Figure out the compression height of the zc pistons and the compression height of your stock pistons. There are some weird things that go on with 1.5L blocks. Compression height is defined as the distance from wrist pin centerline to the top of the timing edge of the piston or basically the top of the piston if it were a flat top, also known as the piston crown. This is NOT the distance to the top of dome.
Post up those numbers and I'll give you an idea of how close you will be.

With the regular rods (134mm) the pistons will sit in the hole about .08" or around 2mm. This will make them alot lower compression ratio than you really want. With the d15z1 or jdm d15b vtec rods (137mm) you will be out of the hole about 1mm, this will give you alot of compression and may cause interference issues with the head, you may want to consider a thicker head gasket to bring the compression and the clearances into something manageable. Next thing you need to do is figure out the static compression ratio with the 137mm rods and a 1mm thick headgasket and see if that is what you want.
