OK BASICALLY MY QUESTION IS WHICH TYPE R PISTON IS BETTER? THE CTR'S OR THE ITR'S?
FOR NOW ITS GOING TO BE A STOCK LS VTEC ENGINE
AND I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT THE CTRS LIGHTLY KNOCKING AND AFTER AWHILE THEY CRACK? I WANT TO KNO IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT.
THANX FOR THE INPUT

 

CTR pistons yeild you a high compression.
Look into the JDM p30 pistons.
They are alot more streetable. If thats what your mean by a stock ls/vtec.

Search Ls/vtec. Read and read some more, you will learn so much and know what it takes to build a reliable ls/vtec

it all depends what kinda head you are gona run... i used udsm p73 pistons in my ls/vtec that acualy yeild a lower compression than p30 and pr3

the pct's and jdm itr's would not work in my motor at all it would have 14.1+:1 comp.

im also using a gsr head that adds to the compression alot more than a b16 head


it all depends on your overall setup basicaly

 

i have ctr piston in my lsV..its runs fine to me.... oh i i have around 14,000 miles.. some wat lost track when i put in the jdm cluster...i should have jus under.14k..but yeah my car still pull hella hard still..
