My car burns oil and throws out alot of white smoke...ive come to the conclusion that my rings are done. So since i gotta take apart the motor i might as well upgrade, on ebay i saw this company nippon racing selling some ctr pistons for a really good price. Can i just replace my stock pistons with those and not have to change anything else on the block? Im also thinking of putting on a thinner headgaket and type r cams. This is a lil budget build i dont want to get too crazy.

Here are the pistons: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-C...Q5fAccessories

just replace the pistons back to stock. you dont want to throw in junk parts. if anything just get some kind of cams ctr or somthing.

i was just speaking wit a friend and he's telling me not to do pistons and just throw a gsr block on it....yay or nay

ive heard good and bad about nippon, but if you can find some itr or ctr pistons, go for it!

the gsr block would be a really good idea

I can just change my block for a gsr one and not have to change anything else?

if i were you i would sell b16 block get $
spend that money that you were gonna use to upgrade along with the money from your block and get a gsr shortblock from a reputable place

x2 for gsr block... then you would have a poor mans type r pretty much. u would just need some type r cams.

CTR = Civic Type R
ITR = Integra Type R

Not to be a ***** but seriously dude... It's called google... or even wikipedia has it.

X3 for the GSR block w/ CTR cams.
Add in a good tune and you're set.

why does our thought count.. in the end, its up to you.... we gave you advice (GSR block) and you still don't know which one to get...

Gsr block- bigger liter, better torque number... poor man type r b18c/b16 head

b16 block- smaller liter, less torque, high compression but makes no power...

You cant just put a b16 head on a GSR block you will lose power due to compression loss. You need to use ITR pistons or other higher compression pistons...

n*werk

dude are you serious... you know why they call it poor man type R....

bossm

gsr block with type-r internals or just get a type-r block thats sounds good

honda305

thats the thing i've been reading that i just cant put a gsr stock block on the b16 head for n/a setup

tercel95

Why would it be called anything if it lost power? A poor mans type r is a b16 head, a gsr block and Type-R pistons. All of that would still be cheaper than buying a type-r motor...

n*werk

go do some reasearch before you get smart.. tell me why or how is it a power loss.. prove me wrong..
