like title says i have a b16a3 with pr3 rods....what kind of selection do i have?

 

What exactly are you going for here? High compression? Low compression?

 

High compression

Dude, don't bump your thread 20 minutes apart. First of all, makes you look like a douche. Second of all, if someone has an answer, they will post it. Otherwise, just wait or do more research.

 

id get aftermarket rods if you are trying to get aftermarket pistons... unless you just want to interchange oe rods and pistons

 

tru...dont the oem type r's fit?

 

maybe i should just sell them pistons and buy a built b20 block

 

Yes.

 

I'll second this...

No sense in doing this half-way. Do it right the first time and you'll not have to mess with keeping a hacked together build in one piece.

 

tru...my boys looking for a set of eagles for me hope i get them soon....ill probly sell that block and get a b20 block and just build the hell out of the b16 head...

 

thanks for the help

 

 

nippon ctr pistons would be a cheap alternative. and they will fit on pr3 rods.

 

Unless you plan to run high boost, there is not really any need to change out your rods. Even just a set of ARP rod bolts should be all you need.

As far as OEM pistons go.....

- ITR pistons have "less" compression than PR3's
- CTR pistons are high comp, but the dome is so high, you often don't get a complete burn
- my choice would be the jdm 2nd gen b16 piston.....the P30

no pr3 rods dont fit the nippons i brout them to the machine shop there clearance issue where piston meets rod

 

bump

 

well i bought the ycp ctr pistons and they dont fit on the pr3 rods i have and it sounds like the same problem as the nippon pistons. is there any way to machine a small amount of material off the end of the rods to make them fit into the nippon or ycp pistons? its only about 2.5 mm too big.

 

That doesn't sound like a little bit of material to me.

 

Ya I'm not an expert or anything that's why I was asking if there is any way it's even possible to take off that much material. I'd like to know what the max amount I could take off if any.

 

ctr pistons are terrible, sell them off and buy some p30's, they will fit with no mods
