i was on hmotorsonline and h-t doing some research and confused my self wich pistons are the best for a b16
p30
p73
pct ek9 ctr
i am looking for high copression and it will prolly be a stock bottom end.

 

pct ones mr speaker is correct

although a bore and ITR pistons woulndn't be shabby

 

how much would i have to bore to put in the itr pistons? if so would that make my engine a 1.8 or is the stroke on a 1.6 diferent. is it safe to bore that far? would i need a block guard? any ideas on what my c/r would be? and lastly what has to be done to fit them on b16 rods or should i get after market rods to?

 

No, ITR pistons will fit. The bore is the same across the Bs, minus the B20 and the only difference is the stroke.

so you'd be waisting ur $$ buying those..

p73 pistons are from a b18c integra-R which is 1.8 liter so they wont fit anyway without getting an overbore done..

The EK9 pct pistons are the ones u want..they come from a civic type-r(b16b)

not true, all b-series pistons WITH THE EXCEPTION OF B20 are 81mm stock bore.

b20 is larger.

 

the bore is the same on the pistons 81 mm for both b16b18, same bore. that's why you can drop in CTR pistions in a gsr with no prob. and visa versa.

 

get the CTR's, they better then the ITR any time of the day, there 11.? to 1, unlike the ItR'S 10 TO ONE

 

thanks alot
