which would you prefer for an ls-v build. b16 pistons, itr, ctr, or like some cp or something.

 

Wow, not that it depends what you are trying to do or anything.

 

put some jdm p30 pistons

 

ctr pistons,

 

depends on what your trying to do..i'm a little confused you said b16 but you also said lsvtc...so i'm assuming thats the head your runnin..what kind of cp ratio your going for...?....u gonna boost or n/a
this may help
click me alittle more info and pics
hese are the CORRECT compression Ratios for using a CTR pistons in different B series engines. note the compression on a LS vtec with a GSR head.

For Reference:
STD=Standard Bore
OS=a .25 OVERBORE
P72=GSR head
PR3=B16 Head

PR3 head/B16 Block

STD = 11.643438609136867
.25 OS = 11.703231023151065

PR3 head/B17 Block

STD = 12.193487116069006
.25 OS = 12.256369577319077

PR3 head/B18C Block

STD = 12.58636786521145
.25 OS = 12.649248792586258

P72 head/B18C Block

STD = 12.924594026551906
.25 OS = 12.989047869209281

PR3 head/B18A/B Block

STD = 12.825536009218106
.25 OS = 12.88971493738735

P72 head/B18A/B Block

STD = 13.170743903246784
.25 OS = 13.236528215133324

All calculated using OEM 3 layer gasket @ .026 and the compression height
