low boost higher compression !!?!
hey guys
i have a b16 and i want to run a itr head and pistons and about 8psi. I want to run this for the track so i have the benifits of a itr set up for cornering but a little bit of punch for the straights. i know tuning will be a big thing for this set up.
anyone know if high compression low boost will work well or just a bad idea?

its not a bad idea. butt you will shelling out $$$ on the correct engine management. ok a b16 on itr pistons? so basically a b18c5?
i have no FI experiance personally, but since you arent getting a reply, i will
id also say 8 spi would be max @ 11:1 and stock internals

Do yourself a favor and drop the compression or say hello to DETONATION....hate for you to blow up some good Honda equipment.

Re: low boost higher compression !!?! (nitekidsef9)
What exactly do you mean by *high* compression? Give us a number to work with.

Save your money, get your B16 head reworked and run a JG IM. The B16 and ITR head are the exact same PR3 casting, the only difference between the 2 is the fact that the ITR head has been SLIGHTLY reworked, lightly debured bowls, slightly lighter intake valves and slightly different LMA's and upgraded valvetrain. Buying a stock ITR head is a big waste of money IMO. I do like the ITR cams though, they work pretty damn good in boosted motors.
As for the pistons, going with ITR pistons will actually drop compression in a B16 motor to 9.7:1. Id stick with the stock B16 pistons, the turbo is going to like the 10.2:1 compression a little better. Quicker spool times and more HP per PSI. just make sure you get it tuned and youll be fine. Keep the boost levels to 12 PSI and under, get it tuned and have fun.

LOL, i remember when ppl on here said ITR cams weren't as good as GSR cams. I guess that all changed when that one guy posted his great success on the ITR cam
