IS THERE ANYONE RUNNING CTR PISTONS IN A B18C1 AS A DAILY DRIVER? OR ANYONE RUNNING 12.5-13.0 C.R. AS A DAILY DRIVER?
I WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN GETAWAY WITH RUNNING SUCH A HIGH COMPRESSION WITH MY DAILY DRIVER. ITS GONNA BE TUNED WITH NEPTUNE!
ANY INFO WOULD HELP! THANK YOU

 

Nothing wrong with running CTR's just think of it as an upgrade.

 

ALL CAPS SUCK TO READ ....... thanks

 

just be prepared to pay for high octane gas.

that's what i'm say'n... i read the **** with my eyes are big and wide....

 

in reply to the thread... you expect a 12-13 comp just by switching to CTR's and a tune.... i'm running .25 ITRs fully built tuned hondata and am still not running too high comp.

 

i have been running ctr pistons for the last year,doesnt really matter if you drive it on the street or not just make sure you put at least 91 in.ans whatch out for when vtec kicks in theres a big difference

 

Are you supposed to run 91+ on DOHC VTEC motors anyways?

 

make sure to check that oil daily.

ITR pistons do not yeild even close to the compression that CTR pistons yield when put into a b18 block.

 

Higher compression i would worry when its smog time, but anyways i have some buddies that runs them, they like it and i like it no big issue just tune it right.

 

12.5:1 is what i had, i sold the car because i didnt think it was vert streetable
so i would say no, 12.5:1 is not streetable

 

k cool thanks everyone.

 

dont put ctr's in unless you get it tuned asap i know i had stage 3 cams wit ctr's an im racing a turbo eagle talon next thing you know boom!!! 2 of the ctr's melted so get it tuned asap before you be a victim like RICK JAMES was.....

 

i have a friend with an lsvtec running 13.1:1. Nothing stopping him from daily driving except bad inspection.

you can run 93 octane in a car with 13.1:1 compression. Seen it done. Car dynoed at 214 whp/ 160 tq.

if you have any question about interference, <U>CLAY THE MOTOR</U>

 

is 96 octance considered low. as thats what i run daily in new zealand. would it be suitable with a compression of 13:1 with ctr

 

yah its not bad its an upgrade
