I have a stock LS block and i want to put CTR Pistons in the block but i wanted to know if it would be good for my daily driver; or should i just get B16 pistons. I will be using 93 octane and will be tuned. I am using my stock B16 head. I really want to use the CTR piston for higher comp but i want to have a good daily.
Thanks in advance.

 

damn no help

 

damn no searching

 

damn u couldnt write an answer instead of typing (no searching) i searched but i didnt find an answer.

Now the question again; i want to have a good daily LSVTEC and i would like to use CTR piston but since its my daily is the higher comp. safe or should i just go with B16 pistons? I use 93 oct. and it will be tuned.

why do people go with the ctr and itr? as seen alot of people make better with p30's!

 

yea i know alot of people that used the p30s but i know u get higher comp with the CTRs. thats why i want to know if the CTRs comp is good for a daily driven car.

try reading that article, its very informative.
Personally if your that worried about reliability stick with the p30's and give up on the little bit more compression for peace of mind.

 

read that article already. i think im just gonna go with the CTRs for the simple fact that a machine shop is assembling the block and putting the head on with timing set ready to drop in.

 

or should i do 81.5 or 82mm P30

Is the shop also tuning the car immediately after installation?

What's the rest of your setup that requires such a high CR?

 

it doesnt require high comp; im using a stock B16 head with type r cams. i think im just gonna get 81.5 or 82mm p30s. car wll get tuned as soon as break in period is done on 93 oct.

 

Why do you ask questions when your mind is made up what you are gonna do?

Then why opt for a piston with such a dome? ITR's or P30 will be plenty. High CR isn't the only factor in the making power equation.

does it matter if it requires high comp. doesnt high comp=more power. correct me if im wrong.

While a bump in compression will net you slightly more hp, you can easily make more hp on lower compression with proper tunning and advanced timing, especially on pump gas. The main reason to increase your compression would be to utilize a larger cam. However without supporting mods there is a limit to your c/r and camshaft selection, you would need to start doing headwork and properly sizing your intake/header/exhaust etc to net max results. With a mild build you are better off running a mid-level compression and stage 2 cams. Plenty of people make 210 whp on 11:1 and sk2s2 cams.
