well i realy have two questions. First will pr3 pistons fit my stock b18a block? second about how much hp will pr3s give me.the b18a has Custom cold air intake, chikara tork step header, 2 1/2" header-back exhaust with high flow cat, crower 404 cams, titanium springs and retainers, aem adjustable cam gears, (just some background info) Any guesses? just post your guess, and i'll dyno my car and let you know.
If you dont want to guess please just answer you my question about the pr3's.
J.D.

PR3's will fit. The b series engines have an 81.5 mm bore except for the b20 which I believe is larger. The PR3 pistons are domed so I would clay the motor before running to check the clearances between the valves and pistons. I believe there may be some issues there. As for power I have no clue so just go dyno it as long as the clerances and such are ok.

#2 give me a minute..................... ok dyno number is 225 whp WOW good job. My dyno never lies! sorry I had to, only hard core bench racers can give you this answer.

 

that was mean, but i'm not a bench racer, and if you want to see i'll race you saterday!

i dont speak internet? anyways prob more than 130 less than 200hp

 

no disrespect intended superbeastcrx, it was just the first thing I thought of. I was not calling you a bench racer just anyone that would actually give you number and think it was correct. And a drive to TX from St. Louis MO for a race does sound enticing but damn that's a far drive. I plan on making a trip out there next year, maybe we can hook up then if you want .

ill guess 15

whats the prize again?

 

Man, if your going to go thru all the trouble of building a engine, why are you using oem rods and pistons? Get forged components

Well if your not going to go forced induction it hardly seeems worth it to me. However, if I ever go through the work of changing pistons, I'd definelty build it and turbo it.

 

if your gonna swap pistons OEM for OEM.. for a lil more compression why not just shave the head its cheaper simpler quicker.

 

this is to you and mark77 i need to learn to drive beter before i go all out on a motor but when i feel i can handle more power i'll build a stronger motor
