i was just wondering what would be a good crank rod piston setup for my civic with a gsr i was wanting to go with scat but i never have really looked into it

 

stock crank, LS rods, type R pistons

 

stock, stock, and stock

12 second car doesn't really give us too much info to work with.

on slicks? on street tires? at what elevation? I am just wasting my breath?

buy a 150 shot of comedy-air for the D series you currently have. run 12s, come back and post time slip.

my civic does not have a d series in it . it laready has the gsr swap done and i really wanted to redo the bottem end of the motor the problem is i live in a hick town with no good shos or anyone how knows anyhting about hondas so its pointless to talk to anyone around here

 

i have a vafc on it and it dumped to much fuel and now i have a knock in the lower end thats why i want to rebuild it and im tired of looking at the same old muscle cars around here

 

i would just suggest you search the endless threads on here and learn the in and outs of an all oem rebuild, such as cylinder honing and whatnot. that way you know what to tell the machine shop when you drop off the block. and for the assembly, just search and read. i think the best rods and pistons for you would be the rods you already have, and a set of .25 oversized p30 pistons from honda. thatll run you about 150 bucks for pistons, rings and wristpins.

 

81.5 p30's, oem rings, ls rods with arp rod bolts, ls crank, oem bearings.

 

If you want a reliable bottom end spend a couple bucks get some rods ,pistons and get some machine work done and get alot of seat time if you want into 12's .im running scat rods and i havnt had a problem yet

You should have saved your money and ran STOCK parts and you still wouldn't have any problems...

 

the stock rods and pr3 or w/e oem pistons you throw in should be reliable.

 

^^agreed. take the motor out, buy new pr3 or p30 pistons with rings, new bearings, get all of your machine work done (balancing, honing, boring, etc.), buy new valve stems and seals, buy a set of good aftermarket springs and retainers, a good set of cams with cam gears, a decent intake manifold and a decent header. tune it. enjoy it.

nothing is more simple except buying a 12 pack, drinking it, and then thinking more about what you are going to do with your motor, and then buying more beer, drinking all of that, and then posting something like this on honda-tech. that seems pretty easy.

do your research and dont rely on everyone else to tell you what to do.
