Which pistons should I go with?
I've searched a little, but am looking for some opinions. I took my engine apart this week and found that I have cracked ring lands. So I'm in the market for a new set of pistons. The motor is a B16A2 from a 2000 Si. The cylinder walls are still perfect, but I still plan on doing a hone. I had a Vortech S/C on it, but sold it. So for the time being the car will be N/A.
I have no "plans" for the car as of yet, abd if I do decide to boost it again, it would only be a mild setup.
So what should I go with? I was thinking CTR, since they are reasonably priced. I realize that you have to modify either the pistons or the rods. Are there any negatives to running these on an otherwise stock motor? Or would I be better off just going with the stock replacements?

oh. only thing that you'll really have to do is run premium gas and only premium because of the higher compression. you'll ping bad if you dont run premium.
CTR FTW!

Re: Which pistons should I go with? (mtber)
if you get cams. get a 2000 ITR intake cam and a 00/01 ITR exhaust cam. but if you cant get that combo go with the 00/01 itr cams. the reason why i said an 00 intake cam is that it is a little bit more aggressive. dont ask me why but it just is that way. gay i know.

I'm going to go with the CTRs, and the cams will be stock for now. I'm really debating on whether or not im going to sell this car over the winter. So, I don't reallywant to go crazy with it again until I know what I'm doing.
