is a ls vtec with standard p30 piston from a jdm del sol b16 any good for power???

Yes- p30 pistons are Civic type R I believe. It will up your compression immensely, close to 12.5:1 with a GSR head if you decide to go VTEC

 

thnkz man

wow didnt know that, i heard civic type r pistons (pct) on a ls block with b16 head gives out 11.2

 

CTR piston is called PCT
Del Sol B16 piston is called P30

Wrong. PCT pistons are JDM B16B pistons and will yield that compression ratio.

P30 pistons are JDM B16A pistons and will yield around 11.5-11.8:1 static compression depending on what head you are using.

 

yeah i will be using a b16 head with port & polish and gsr cams type r monifold &some good header with a tuned ecu and will seee what happens thnkaz

 

P73 pistons go well in the LSV set up as well bro...

 

that set up is gonna give you some good power my buddy had the same setup the only difference what the he had the blox manifold but he was making about 180-190 at the wheels

 

with 12.5:1 compression do you have to pump race gas or can you use 91?

With a good tuner, you may be able to get away with it, but more than likely, you will have to lower it a little more to safely run pump gas.

weak numbers for that setup...ive seen cammed gsr's make that...and bolt on type r's hit 180 whp with a tune

if i had a port matched head with combustion chamber polishing and a 12 to 1 cr...id cry if i broke 180 whp..

Should be OK with 93...

 

yeah sounds good i was looking into doiing 180whp if that but that still alot of power maybe?

 

isnt pr3 ctr pistons?!

No, they are USDM B16A pistons. PCT pistons are CTR.

 

my buddys engine wasnt tuned tho it was running on a chipped gsr ecu
he was gonna go with hondata but he traded his car for a turboed hacth instead

 

this thread is wack.

just use some PR3's (USDM B16A) or P30's (JDM B16A) because they will yield you 11.x:1 compression and fit on your rods without machine work.
