ok, so ive decided to go with a GSR swap in my hatchie. im getting the motor from hmotorsonline.com. my question is i wnat to throw some pistons in it to bump the compression.
1: will CTR or ITR pistons give it a good bump in compression, or go with JE 11:5.1's or 12:5.1.
2: which rod to piston combe would be est OEM or aftermarket.
3: im thinking of skunk 2 stage 2 cams and full vavletrain.
along with fuel upgrades and a tuned hondata ecu will this motor work. for fairly cheap, doing pistons/rods/cams= 12.5.1 compression N/A screamer !!!!!!
if not what would be a good N/a build on gsr block/gsr tranny w/ LSD.

 

I like to see what kind of power you will make....

 

yea you can do it but its not going to be cheap. if ur gonna build the bottom end and throw a set of cams and valve train into the head than u might as well get a port. the port is going to determine where u stop making power.

i have a gsr bottom end with je 12.5:1 pistons and eagle h-beams.
if your gonna go aftermarket for the bottom end try to get some carillo rods cause there nice and light for all motor. the eagle h-beams are cheap and heavy.

 

anybody else got info on the build. come on fella's. ??

 

also build a motor with suck high compression. what else needs to be upgraded.

 

bump for info

 

just got my whip back on the road. got 11. whatever weisco pistons. brian crower head games. pulls hard as hell. im using stock rods. cause i didn't feel like replacing them hah. maybe later if and when i decide what else ima do to it. but for now its done. i have a newly replaced fuel pump and aem fuel filter rail and PR. s2 IM & TB aem intake hondata s200 may upgrade to s300 sooner or later. new rad and fan.keep it cool. header and full exhaust HKS. hi flow cat. beats up 8 cyl all day long. not sure if i would go any higher comp then 11. will be tuned this week.

 

see i want to see a few more builds like this.
what exactly is a poormans type-r build up.
remember im doing this on a gsr block.
lets see more gsr N/A build ups please.

 

it hauls ***. i love my gsr build!!!!

 

yea i got sk2s2 in my gsr n i made like 195 with some other minor mods. its a fun motor!

 

I would go with an aftermarket forged piston/rod combo...if Hondas have a weak point it's in the rods (I've seen too many customers overrev their stock Hondas accidentally and snap rods in two)

I'm a fan of JE pistons...but if it's a street car (daily driven) then I'd go with JE's more streetable (and less expensive) SRP pistons
