should i keep my pistons?
i have yet to tune the motor, im running pct's in a gsr, so i was thinking if i should keep these pistons or go for different other pistons...i was going for the p30's but what should you guys do?....
im aiming for 190-200ish whp...perhaps CTR cams, and such...
EDIT: i have 2 OEM headgaskets to lower compression and timing just a little retarded...
why do i have civic type r pistons you ask?
well i was just getting into fixing up the motor when this dude was selling his brand new standard size CTR's, and told me that cr was going to be about 11.4:1...and stupid me believed him and bought them...so guys please refrain from flaming
just asking for help guys

ok so i heard that with the PCT's, even after tuning them, the timing will still have to be retarded

Re: (CW_98gsr)
here is a thread that everybody seems to love the GSR block and CTR piston combo.

Re: (jeffsciv23)
okay i reread through the topic i just posted and realized you had posted in it. lol, it's early. right no wi have PR3's in my gsr block and need to replace the rings because the compresion numbers were very sad. i seen that RS Machine had an awsome deal on piston/rings sets and was looking into the PCT's. i went to site with a compression calculator and started punching in numbers to decide what ones to go with.
gsr block/gsr head with PCT pistons and 3 layer HG= 12.4:1 (little too high for me)
gsr block/gsr head with PCT pistons and 6 layer HG= 11.4:1 (kinda low)
gsr block/gsr head with PR3 pistons and 3 layer HG= 11.69:1
gsr block/gsr head with PR3 pistons and 2 layer HG= 12.02:1
gsr block/gsr head with P30 pistons and 3 layer HG= 11.93:1
so the last three look like the better choices for me since that's around where i want to be. basically it is coming down to price now so i think i'm going with the PR3's from RS Machine sine they are $149 plus shipping with rings
