just wandering if when i put my ctr pistons in my gsr will i be undercamming. i am getting them installed but need to know if the car will run right. i checked on c-speed and my compression should be 12:0:1. will my car run ok and be able to drive tell i get a set of cams.

 

up

 

another noob, please read the CTR pistons post thats sticky on the top of this forum, then you will realize your compression is actually 13.2 and say hello to detonation buddy. please search this has been covered too many times.

he's not trying to be smart ***. he's right.
c-speed is actually off.
been proven many times.

other than that, if i were you i'd just try to find jdm itr pistons. i think you'd be around 11.5:1 with a gsr head. someone confirm.

There are so many myths to this set up. Katman's website shows a 12.3. I agree with EVOL on this one, C-Speeds' is WAY off. There was a thread created about this not too long ago. Hit up the search button and read tha bizzness, ALLOT of helpful info in there. Good luck man.....what up EVOL (no bad blood eh?)

you proved yourself exactly why it was a dumbass question...search! it's been covered a million times

 

It's not a dumb *** question, there has been allot of myths as to what this comes out to be. Maybe he didn't know how to use the search, maybe he couldn't find it. Bottom line is it's an intelligent question, all the "compression calculators" seem to have there own opinions about it.....

 

i read so many posts and everyone gives different opinions. ive read all the post on here but still not a deffinate answer. i have used the search many times but id figure id ask so that mayb someone that has actually put them in their car can give me some feedback.

i dont feel that i asked a dumb question bc its better to play safe than sorry.

 

to answer your question..... Your will not get the complete benefit of that compression from those cams, but it will run. I would look for some better cams, and be sure to clay your motor and get it tuned

 

thanks for the response. i plan on getting a fpr, hondata, and then getting it tuned. i'll will get cams within the next couple of months

lol wattup clean. yah we coo. for now

 

Cool cool Evol.

I would still love to see a FOR SURE answer to this question, like from Honda or somethin. I would take Steve's answer into consideration for sure, matter fact I would swear by his answer. But if I remember right, he didn't have an answer for the straight b18c motor with pct pistons in it. Please correct me if I'm wrong fellas...

 

i want ot make sure before all is said and done. i have cam gears also so that i can mess with timing and still be on pump gas here in tx.

 

well my pistons are installed and my car is running great. all is good and working well with hondata. all i have is a basemap run but well get it tuned when i get the cash. but just thouhgt id let people know that its ok to put ctr pistons in a gsr.

still a big risk IMO because of the lack of clearance between the pistons and the cc.

good luck with your build regardless

no even with that octane he will still detonate, i have those pistons. it will only not detonate with lots a tuning and retarding the timing. But he should get some cams and adjustable cam gears.

 

i have the cam gears but will get some cams soon. i am happy with the way the car is running. overall it is a good upgrade.
