LS Vtec piston options
OK not AOL flame wars
Im looking for a straight answer here
I am going to try an LS vtec setup with a GSR head
the block has crower rods and currently a set of beat SRP pistons rated at 10.5 compression
Im looking to get about 12.0 to 12.5 compression and still clear the valves on a GSR head with Jun 3s
any thoughts and ideas?
INPUT please

Re: LS Vtec piston options (555R)
I would suggest going with a set of 81.25 JE 11:5:1 pistons with deep valve reliefs on the dome, use the stock headgasket thickness and with the GSR head you will be at 12:5:1, the piston you need is an off the shelf part

Re: LS Vtec piston options (16vracer)
both will be 81mm so you want .25 over, 11:5:1 compression with gsr valve reliefs on the dome. I don't have the catalog in front of me so I can't give you the part #, try calling 714-772-vtec and ask for Aaron, there prices are the lowest I have seen. You might get a better deal if you tell them Ben from honda-tech sent you. Ordering from JE direct is a bad idea because you will get stuck having to pay list price

Re: LS Vtec piston options (Halo)
are you talking about the shelf stock ITR pistons as they are the only 11.5 compression pistons I am aware of... I also need to know if they will clear Jun 3s
I also work at a shop so I know what to pay for them
either that
or I will sell this block and get another GSR
