ok i need help with this setup im building a motor. i got evrything i posted in the title and i also have everything else from an ls. i have searched and found nothing on the exact topic i need help on. i need to know if the valves in head will touch the (CTR) pistons when vtec kicks in? i know its been floating around and some people told me its a good chance. and i didnt want to mess anything up. and also i need to know aout making my b16 head fit on my b18a1 block do i have to drll anything out or plug up anything?

 

what cam are you runing?

 

stock most likely.

 

it will work. crt pistons have larger valve cut outs in them. your not using high lift cam so you will be alright

 

hey thanks man i have been hearing alot of bd stuff about this build and it got me worried but thanks.

 

would Toda Spec C2's hit?

 

i ntake it ur building the same setup? if so let me know i would like to start a topic helping people with this build because it seems to have so many quests maby i can get fellow members helping out.

 

yea I have same build but I have Toda Spec C2 cams running insted of stock

what head are you using and are you going to adjust the cam gears

 

planning on a DD/weekend warrior with as much AutoX and track runs as possible. looking for probably like 220-230whp i'm thinking from reading some other threads with similar builds.

i am using a b16 head with a b18a block. i am also running Toda adjustable cam gears yes.

 

ur going to use ctr pistons in a b18 block and use it as a dd thats going to be some crazy *** gas expences from what peope tell me im going to have to run 93 octane the hole time so i dont know what ur doing but keep me informed of ur build i would like to see more builds of this motor its a sweet build

 

yup running 93oct and 110 for track autox events. deeeeeep pockets for gas with CTR pistons is what I heard also...almost makes me wish I'm going to run ITR pistons but whatever

 

i have used set of ctr pistons if anybody needs them.

 

i had this setup with ITR pistons...thumbs up

 

i did a few motors this way with gsr heads and they were running 91 octane and on the weekends mix in some 100 oct. to this day have had no problems the only thing i did not use stock are the rods for high reving it just a little scary and even that my homies are getting 224=half a tank of gas so put it to average it out to 22-25 per gallon and 3 years strong and racing the **** out of them on the weekends but this is just my $0.02

 

thanks its all helpng out sounds good tho

 

were you running CTR pistons? I'm running stock rods, but having them shot peened.

 

bringing my block to the machine shop tomorrow, decided to keep the CTR OS Pistons :-o, WISH ME LUCK GUYS!

 

yeah ctr pistons aftermarket rods and some head work to guarantee you dont drop a valve

 

what did you do to the head? which aftermarket rods did you use? I'm just shotpeening mine, hopefully that'll be ok. OEM Honda is good stuff soooooo hopefully they'll stay strong.

I'm bringing my head to King Motorsports this winter, but I'll be running my set up all summer till then :-/

 

would any of u have any b16 heads for sale? let me know asap

 

sadly I do not, I have a B16 Shortblock and some 9mm ARP rod bolts too if interested. Been trying to sell the B16 for a while. You think $300 is asking to much for the shortblock? Askign going price for ARP, they're brand new.

 

hey i have no need for arp head studs i just got a set and also i need a b16 trans if u know anyone with any let me know i need one asap too. but im not too sure about the price on that block i guess u can say its an okay price if its in good condition

 

yeah it's in greaet condition...hmmm B16 trannys are hard to find over here...I can get you a GSR trans easier probably.
