Re: Type R pistons in GSR, Which cams?
ok cool, just wondering. dont mean to step on any toes. i mean, i get max power so to speak with the b20 block but also get more out of a given camshaft spec too with the bore, hence why type r cams on b20 vtecs typically peak sooner . i loved how my b20 vtec felt (i know, feel is subjective) with just type r cams and e85. bottom end torque and midrange was lovely. on the highway, i never had to come out of 5th gear and even in city limits, putting around in 5th was still good. i never got to put aftermarket cams in it to see what it would do from there. i wouldnt mind doing an 83mm all motor gsr and maybe some spray lol
I don't think you'd see that big of a difference in 83mm gsr with nitrous any more than you would 81mm, without the accompanying stroke increase of LS/B20

thats also true. the price of oem stuff now like wheels and even type r cams has gone up like crazy and now are a bit harder to come across without being damaged like you said

No problem. Again, what you're describing in the way of engine / driving characteristics & behaviour is based upon the stroke of the engine and not just bore. This has been duplicated in the GLSR to a great degree.

I was thinking of doing a 82x89 GSR when I starting putting together my higher compression build. Think it'll be a nice little beast in my DX shell. As far as my current P73 piston build, you think a 440cc RC injector would be too much ? I figure this will give me room to grow into them when I start making more power, paired with the 255lph walbro pump.

Damn, sounds like a nice set up . Are you using pump gas or e85? Im trying to make as much power possible on 93 octane as the closest E85 station is a solid twenty five mins away and it seems like more of a hassle for me . At 12:5:1 did you have to pull timing ? I assume you tuned it with S300 also ?

I am using Apex'I Power FC V.2.0 standalone. I haven't used Hondata since 2004.
Here is the build. Still kickin' almost 10 years later.

For that build I am using 93 Octane fuel. Didn't want to use E85 at all, nor was it necessary. My tuner did not need to pull much timing from what I remember at tune time.

Not this year. Been swamped with work, working on the house and selling my other TSX. The only thing left for it is getting rid of the LS 5th gear in the transmission, I have an Ultra Street Intake manifold for it already, new brake calipers and a Cold Air Box add on.
