Hi people.

I currently have a fight in my head.

My right part of the brain is saying put the CTR pistons.
The left one its not. lol

What should i do?


I have an Honda Civic Coupe 1997 (EJ8) that had a D16Y8.


I've already buyed the following stuff for the Swap:

- B16A2 Motor from a 2000 ek4

- Gearbox Y21 (vti 92-95) this one its shorter i think.

- Tranny mounts

- I am missing the motor mounts i think... i only need the rear mount

- I've buyed PCT Piston KIT 81mm (EK9) on ebay. See the link bellow
- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-B...3692QQtcZphoto

- I have an ITR flywheel (its 3kg less than vti)

- I have DC-Sports 4-1

- I have ITR motor Oil pump

- I have ITR dual springs

- I have OBD2 to obd1 conversion cables

- i Have a modded P30

- I have a fuel pressure regulated to 3 Bar and the Chip its already calibrated for it

I pretty much have everything. Even the chip its already from a friend that had this setup.

But... im a daily driver. I dont Drag or do streetrace.
I just have some fun when comming back from my girls house.


But im building a reliable stuff. Please help me. Should i go with this setup? Or should i just do the same setup but with stock pistons?

Im not making above 8500rpm. Also my friends are saying that the motor should only die if push it too much for a big period of time in 5th gear.

Anyway.. i just want a reliable stuff my D serie was for 7 years. Can this be realible setup?

What precautions to take?

Thanks a lot

 

keep it stock with i/h/e.

 

If it was my car i'd put the PCT's in it but you need to do a little more research. That chip you have, toss it in the trash or give it to your tuner. Put a stock FPR back on. You can put the pistons in but have it tuned right away.

 

dreaming is generally ascribed to the right brain, logic more often related to the left. So, as per your post, I'd say obey your left (logical) brain and skip on the PCTs. They are heavy, and the domes don't exactly promote the best flame travel. You're better off getting the compression you want by milling the head.

 

I dont know what concept to follow...

I want power...

But i dont wanna make risk's.

Its my daily car. I'm spending a lot of money. So i want something good.

 

with the proper combo of parts, machining, tuning, etc., there's minimal risk involved. DonF, Larry (Endyn), Brad (RLZ), and others consistently make good, reliable power. when you know what you're doing, you leave little to chance.

 

CTR cams would be nice to run on a b16 with nice flowing 2.5" header/exhaust and tuned with cams gear. I'm sure you would be satisfied since you're not looking to race.

 

im pretty much doin this build now in a hatch for dd. I just got it to start a few days ago so far everything has gone good if you do decide to do this make sure u get it tuned to be safe

 

I got a set of Buddy Club III cams, would be great in that motor!

 

Do you want to sell them?



Pm me with price

 

I love my B16 with PCT's. People love to hate them too I guess B16s in stock form are poop IMO
