I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY I GOTA BENT ROD IN MY B20..I ORDERED NEW RODS, ADN BEARINGS I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD USE ANY OTHER KIND OF PISTONS THAT WOULD BOOST THE COMPRESSION..

 

ok a few questions to ask your self. why to you want to bump compression? second are you ready to do all the other **** that is involved with building a higher compression motor (ie tuning)? if you raise compression youre going to need to tune it. because, YES, the stock fuel maps wont work all that great.

 

wiseco 12.2:1 pistons
thats what iam using in my b20vtec
along with arp rods and many other stuff

 

Aftermarket would be the way to go. I personally would run cast oem to prevent blow-by. Forged are noisy and you gotta let it warm up.

Your statement seems contradictory to me. Maybe that's just me though.

it is.

Really it's 6 of one, half--dozen of the other.

After market/oem, pick which one is available and cost appropriate for you.

 

rs machines itr pistons for 84mm, and be sure to get ARP rod bolts

 

To the OP: What are your power goals?? There is a point at which driveability is sacrificed for power....you have to decide where there is a happy medium. Also, price is a good thing to consider. If you're just doing pistons, it wont be too bad...

WAT?

 

Just get either one. Doesn't matter.

 

For me, I'd go with RS Machine 84mm ITR pistons. They're well priced, but if I'm not mistaken they're cast as well.
