Would there be any issues with using ITR pistons on B18B rods in a B18B block? I have heard from some people that you need to shave down some material on the rod. If this is the case, I'd have to abandon this idea for now.
Is there any chance of damaging contact between the piston and rod if I use this set up?

PS I've searched

 

You will have to shave the rods just a bit in order for them to fit correctly. Consider JDM P30 pistons as a higher compression alternative that doesn't need shaved rods.

 

Thank ya, sir

 

yeah just go with ctr pistons, 'irev210' has em for a good price.

 

Of course the CTR pistons also require shaving of the rods.

 

I have CTR pistons in my LS. They will yield a compression ratio of approximately 12.5:1.

You might want to mention this before advising him to go with these pistons, without knowing what cams he's using, tuning, octane, etc.

 

what kind of pistons could i put in my b18c to raise the compression?

did you not even read this thread?

 

hey on the GSR do u have to replace the pistons and the headgasket to get the compression of the ITR?

what cams are running? and what kinda numbers are you putting down??? if you dont mind me asking

 

I was told that the mods required to make the itr or ctr pistons fit only costs 4-5 dollars a rod, which seems like it would be well worth it.
