wut up HT im gonna be building my gsr block and b16 head for all motor power. wanna make in the 200whp range. im just now starting to look for parts i think i wanna go with ctr pistons i heard it works well with this set up for higher comp.
just wanna see wut u guys think about Nippon racing pistons and rings,gaskets, ect. and wut set up for the head internals. thanks. LEME KNO!

p.s. trying to spend as liitle $ as possible.

 

up!

 

I did CTR pistons in a GSR block with B16 head before, never took it to the dyno only street tuned it then sold the engine for way more then I had into it. It went good.

I am doing another build but want a little less compression now and I have been researching other companys and it looks as if Nippon and other companys actually may make a better piston then OEM - I guess they lowered the ring lang to keep it from breaking. I have yet to use them but I think I am going to go with a set of RS Machine pistons in this build. ALOT of people use them on here, check out the Dyno chart section and read through the builds.

As for headgasket I am a big fan of OEM gaskets when they work so thats up to you. Nippon (NPR) is a OEM supplier to some companys so the parts should be good.

Hope this helped.

 

What up casey. Its ya boy JJ. I see ur tryin to do the poor mans type R. You should go with the CTR pistons. They are reliable all around and inexpensive. But if your gonna make 200whp u are gonna have to bump up the compression. At least to the low 11:1 or high 10:1. I'm not sure how high the CTR pistons bring it but u might have to do a lot of tuning to reach your goal. Are u gonna upgrade the rods, balance the crank or sleeve the block. You should do all this while the motor is apart. I am. I'm building a b20vtec right now. Lol. I couldnt stay out of the game to long. What did u ever do with my old hatch.
