ok I have been reading all that I can here and I understand that I need to get the stock rods machined down 1mm to fit the ctr pistons. I will use a 3 layer head gasket. The rods will be shot peened and use ARP rod studs. This will work fine right?

I want to use ctr camshafts with ITR valves and springs... should I just use the ITR retainers or get some skunk2 retainers? Will I be safe using a 3 layer head gasket for piston - valve clearance?

Also using these components is it safe to go to 9K RPM? And lastly can I run a 75 shot of nitrous? I know that nitrous being safe has a lot of variables, but I just need to know if the parts themselves can take that if installed/tuned properly.

When doing this what other kind of Fuel System upgrades should I do? Bigger injectors? Better fuel pump? Are they necessary?

Sorry about all the questions, but I am going to start putting parts together for a winter build.

 

#1. yes, the ctr pistons will fit
#2. if you plan on revving up to 9K, i'd reccomend titanium retainers, but, i think that oem retainers are fine up to 8600rpm or so
#3. 3 layer h/g is fine, because with pct's, your c.r. will only be in the 10.8/1 area. no need to worry about valve clearance
#4. you need to make power in order to benefit from revving up to 9K. proper intake manifold, header, compression, cam & tuning will determine that
#5. once your car is tuned well and the block is stout, a 75 shot is o.k., but, i would never juice it
#6. fuel pump, 310cc injectors, Hondata or chipped ecu w/v-afc tuning

This is missleading.

how do you figure? i, along with quite a few people that i know have revved to 8600+rpm with oem 90' jdm retainers, so, you can't be talking about that. could it be the ctr piston, rod thing? if so, what's misleading about it?

 

the pistons need to be pressed on the shop will have to cut 1mm on each side for stock b16 rods i did the same thing.

 

bump,
i want to need if the ctr is sticking out of the hole would it hit vavle? also, at 11.5 compression, would the motor last as long as a stock b16 with p30 pistons? and last of all, can a stock b16 motor with ctr piston be ok to just run on stock p30 ecu?

what is the better recommandation would u all motor people give with a b16a block and ctr piston( setup wise) ????

HOPE THIS WOULD HELP

 

why run a chip ecu with Vafc tuning?
