deciding which to go with? I may need some help with this..
will the ctr pistons fit up with jdm gsr (b18c) rods in my 96 gsr motor?
will i need anything else besides pistons, rings, and pins?

also, which pistons would you choose?
thanks a bunch

 

CTR
you shouldnt have a problem installing them

Question is are the JDM GSR rods good w/ 12.5:1 Compression? What else are you upgrading?...I'm planning on pistons in the future, though w/ my mileage(90k), I'm probably going to go w/ the entire spoon balanced block.

 

what problems will i have installing?
spoon balanced pistons are the jdm itr pistons...

 

eddie its ralph man! Youll be fine! Im running that setup right now!

 

jdm b18c rods are the same as usdm b18c5 rods....
not sure about 12.5:1 compr. with 91 octane pump gas.
been getting feedback & the verdict may be spoon itr pistons

 

how do u know that the jdm b18c1 gsr rods are the same as the US typer R rods b18c5? im just curious where or how u found this out, im not doubting you, but i have a jdm gsr motor and would like to know if this is true for sure

 

Remember! ! ! ! ! Name Brand doesn't always mean Power!

My advise, CTR Pistons, ITR Rods, light weight Flywheel. With that in a GSR, would be a beast, all you need now are some nice cams, if your on a Buget, I'd go with some CTR Cams, now your talking Beasty...............You will alo need a good header as well, I can vouch for the Spoon Header, make pretty good midrange power, let me know if your interested, $700obo

Good luck,
Nick

 

Nope.

I've held both rods in my hands and they're not the same.

 

I have the Spoon/JDM ITR pistons in my engine and if I had to do it again, I would go with the CTR pistons. The Spoon pistons alone won't give you enought compression to give you good HP.
