would b16 piston fit a b18 block if so would this help or is it the same as b18 pistons. more power or torque?

 

yes it will fit. it'll raise compression.

 

would it give me more power or torque?

yes, higher comp=more power.

 

you thing i should put b16 pistons and rods into my b18 then

 

you have to use the LS rods...

 

ooooooohh would i feel a diffence in the car

 

does any one about how much power and torque i should expect like 4 or somethig

 

i wouldn't expect a big gain. you can get some bigger cams to use that high compression though.

 

Like some skunk 2 or what kind

 

a friend had a 91 LS with type r pistons, and I/H/E. it pulled pretty nice; it made a noticeable difference in torque, which is always nice. it seems like a lot of LS guys are using either crower or crame cams; im almost positive junk2 doesnt make nonvtec cams, i could be wrong though.

 

are you running vtec or nonvtec?

 

Non vtech but I'm thinking of doing ls vtech in the futher. But that's later I want to know about now ill look into those cams thanks. I just want to see if its woth puting the b16 pistons like is going to pull nicer?

 

there will be a difference but nothing major that'll you'll feel. it is a good upgrade though if you do plan on getting better cams. while you're at it, get some arp rod bolts. just do some searching and you'll know what you'll need.

check out nonvtec.com there's a lot of info there.

btw, i have some brand new arp rod bolts if you need them let me know.

 

How much would you sell them to me for

 

Who do you guys feelabout franking a b18 some say its not reliable some say it is I don't know

really though, instead of asking so many questions. it would be best to do a search on all of this. all the things you've asked have been covered numerous times. I'm not trying to be an ***, but like i said just search and you'll find it. there are so many threads on ls-vtec.

everyone has their own opinions. it makes great power and is really reliable if built correctly. if you half *** it, it wont last as long.

 

^Listen to this guy, he knows his stuff. Depending which B16 pistons you use, you could see decent gains with no other parts.

 

Thanks man . I was just askink to see what you guys think about this I will look more into this and if any body else has a suggestion please let me know you're opinion thanks

 

Bump

well i turbo'd my b18b and it blew.. but when i took it apart i found out why.. it was a rebuild with b16 pistons running high compression.. but before i went turbo it ran GSR times at the track, and would pull all other ls's and b20's with bolt ons. i just had a aem shorty intake.. not bad for a stock motor with b16pistons its in my 98 civic coupe though

 

i would be putting the b16 pistons into a 2000 ls motor for my 93 da

 

and that sound good pulling on other like that hopefully mine would do the same
