1. will a cold air be my best bet running JUN III

2. will CTR (oversized) pistons be my best (streetable) piston setup

3. Am i retarted for wanting to run a fully built head on the street

 

1. depends
2. nope, there are many choices. (If you want to stay with a honda piston, than yes)
3. No, lot of people run built (race) motors on the street

 

JUN III are more streetable than you think. Stock idle no real huge power before VTEC, but IF its tuned right youll get huge power after 5700 rpms. I have a fully ported head with standard CTR pistons in a b18c1 block with b16 head. Compression is around 12:1, I dont detonate, even on 100F days. Timing at 18. Power is nice and smooth down low and violent after 7000 rpms.

 

you dont know how excited i just got. im gitty, the cool thing about it is its hella cold in seattle.

 

ur from seattle? have we met?

edit: doh, i forgot.. you were the one i saw in renton lol.

Sweet,
Same setup as me, except I am using a b18c1 head. I have my timing set to 16 degrees though, but that becomes irrelevant as I am using Hondata. With Hondata, you can advance or retard the timing without using the distributor.

Same here, no detonation, just some crazy pull after 5900 (my Vtec x-over).

If you want to do it cheaply, the CTR pistons are the best bang for the buck.

 

but what about the air bypass valve, theres alot of rain in seattle.

 

rock a stock intake with a drop in. it will make the same amount of power and no rain issues. Also have a set of III's in stock.
