96ek coupe
i got two question.
96 civic coupe.
if i run ctr pistons on a gsr block will i have clearance issues i need to know the fact. gsr block, i was going to do cams, valvetrains but im not shaving the head due to clearance. so i need to know if ill be okay to run these pistons.
second question is the block is obd1 and i know obd1 doesnt have crank sensor so how would this work on an obd2 car will the vehicle even turn over or only if i run a obd1 ecu?

u can always bypass the crank sensor if your ecu is looking for it. its pretty easy. i did it on my 00 hatch. i have jdm itr motor in it and jdm motors dont have the crack sensor

Re: 96ek coupe
CTR pistons in a GSR is a bit scary to me. you will be looking at something in the 12.8-13:1 compression ratio, and thats not easy to run pump gas with. it also will create tighter clearences which bigger cams will only make tighter. you will need to do some research to figure out specs and what will work best for what your plans are with the car.

Re: 96ek coupe
i only know this bc when our buddy put the engine together he put the wrong cam gear in so the timing was off and the engine was leaking a little oil and there was a couple of other things going on that we were completely oblivious to bc we had bypassed the crank sensor instead of converting so we were already throwing a code and didnt know we were throwing others until the owner of the car was driving an hour away from home and went to limp mode and we had to tow it in. learn from our mistakes

Re: 96ek coupe
ok does anyone know i got a jdm gsr i looked up the compression ratio and it is 10.8cr now i wanted to swap in 99=00civic si but i looked up the spec im looking at 10.2-10.4 cr. so if i do that im lowering the compression. also the gsr head has cams, and other valvetrain. so let me know if i can get away with the ctr pistons or not.. let me know guys.
