So i'm planning to rebuild a b16a block and install some new CTR piston oversized, hone and bore the block to 81.5 with new type R oil pump. My question is, is it really worth the time and money? Will i even notice any kind of gain? I already have some CTR cams installed with the springs and retainers. I'm hoping with the CTR pistons raising the compression, i'll gain more power. So is it worth the time and money?

 

bump

 

not really worth it imo

 

i dont think its worth it... better off building for boost or something...

 

anyone else? Also replace the water pump, timing belt, clutch, etc...

 

ive built sooooo many motors in the last few years and the only advice i can give you is boost.

Yeah, thats true... so i have all the parts already, what should i do now? HAHA!

 

get a LS block and put in some itr or b16 pistons

 

So even if i go through with it and after torqueing everything down to spec and everything back together by the manuel, how reliable am i expecthing this bottom end to be?
