Hi, the last saturday i made **** my old ls-vtec setup.

I have a JDM B16A block stock bore. The block is in perfect conditions.
And i also have a JDM GSR Head.

I would like to put some CTR pistons in it. But... what rods do i need? And... what kind of compression would i get from this? is this worth it? I mean, i have almost everything, and i would like to get at least almost the same compression as i had in my ls-vtec.

My ls-vtec setup was... B18B1 Block, P73 .20 Pistons, and JDM GSR Head.
The compression was good enough to blow up the motor twice.

I would appreciate your opinions ASAP.
Thx, from Mexicali... Herzeleid.

 

use the b16 rods

http://www.zealautowerks.com will give you a good cr number

 

I might also be doing this setup soon. Just also wondering if its worth it.

 

i run that
b16 block with gsr head
around 11.5/1 comp
dynod at 157@8400
afrs were dead on at 13 we ran out of time to keep pulling fuel
i love it this little combo loves to rev
for anyone that is gonna build this make sure you have a good set of cams/srings/retainers and get your rods shotpeened or buy some good ones its no fun to realize that that is the weakness in my build after it took me so long to get it together

 

A friend of mine is selling me a b18b1 block.
If i put the B18B1 with the GSR head and the CTR pistons... is it prone to crack? ha ha.
i know is a dumb question, but with the LS rods and all the compression stuff, it gets really nasty. And i wanna know if it would be reliable at 91 octane gas. Daily driving of course.

 

All right, if i get the LS BLOCK... and i add the ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs... i have already bought the CTR pistons, and i already have the GSR head. If i use 91 octane gas... should i have problems? Thank you.

 

PCT pistons with b16 block and gsr head wont work.
lsv with pct's and gsr head will work but you need some good tuning

how will it not work?

 

ptc's will stick out of a b16 block and the gsr head has flat quench pads. would not advice

 

p28 pistons stick out of the block too genious! ask your local tuner, if it is built and tuned corectly you shouldn't have any problems
