well lads as im waiting on my other engine im thinking off building a cheap enough b18c .

what i have is a b18c bottom end that needs a freshen up so thinking off just getting a new oil pump/water pump and a set of acl race bearings and using pct pistons which i already have ?

thing is its a b16a head which i have to use with a set of skunk pro 1s and will be tuned on my ecu which i have also (motec m84).

what ye think about this as id be only making use of what i have? and what about compression will this bring me around the 12 mark and what figures should i see ?

 

Fantasy build lol

 

?????

 

CTR pistons in a Gs-R block = Fail. Poor flame travel, hard to tune (little room for error), etc. Choose something along the lines of a P30 piston or P73-00.

 

i might go with a slight thicker cometic gasket but all in all i think it is possible to make this a good little engine for the money .

i no there is alot of none believers ( might be one myself once i have it done) but this is something im goin it try and see what i end up with ?

has to be better than left in the corner of the shed anyway

 

Go for it and let us know how you make out

 

will do

ill post up the printout once its done .

 

I like flatter domes at taller skirts, thats me though. I run 82mm RS machine PR3 slugs and love them. JDM ITR or P30's IMO would provide the highest compression while compromising to tuning ability and clearance. Plus they are lighter.

Your build though so good luck.

 

i have jdm itrs and p72s also but hey wheres the challange so ill try see can we get any good out of the pct pistons .

i thought maybe someone on here would have ran similar spec at some stage .

 

Shave down the domes a bit and you'll have better luck in regards to margin of error when it comes to tuning. I'm interested to see what you end up with. Good luck

 

Your full of **** nolly... Go suck robbie thorntons *** you clown

 

Such hostility....

 

Who's sucking who's ***. Ew

 

You sir, just made my day

 

pics or it never happened

 

CTR pistons in a Gs-r block=power. I fixed that for you. There is nothin wrong with CTR pistons. I dont wanna hear about the "poor flame travel" its a oem piston. oem=stout. And as far has hard to tune goes you can say that about any high compression piston. Either have race gas or have your timing on point. Ive never heard the tuner say " man this wisceo pistons are so easy to tune".

im not trying to start a ctr piston battle. But they make power and have no problems as long as you check all clearances and have a good tune. Just like ANY other high comp piston.

 

The ones in my car (stock GSR crank, rods + Nippon CTR pistons) were too hard to tune correctly without race gas. The yield on the pistons is somewhere in the neighborhood of 13.89:1. If you are building a 14:1 motor, you should be using forged pistons and rods with floating pins anyways.

The car made less power than it should have, and over all I was very dissapointed with the setup. I ran a much much thicker Cometic head gasket to try and compensate but that messed with the cam timing I think.

No conjecture here, just my personal experience. Good luck.

BTW I'm rebuilding.... with PR3's.

 

good thing its not your womans ***



would it not suit you better to go writing to peoples girfriends about integras you are building and sending to the uk but yet you dont have when it comes down to it

seems you have a major problem with me what did i do wrong ? decide to build a turbo teg? or the fact i have a 6 week old child that comes before getting it finished ? what is it eh ?

how am i full of **** ?

if anyone reckons i am or want pics of anything i can supply pics of whatever parts you want to see their is no problem.

i came on here for advice which thanks to the majority of ye are very helpful .

 

Battle of the euros...

 

I don't get what the big deal is. If he's using a B16 head, the thing should be fine with PCT pistons. It's only when you try to use the GSR head that it becomes a major problem...

 

You nolly, are the biggest clown on the worldwide web

I'm worse to even reply to you... Actually i'm not even gonna bother...

I need not be at home getting high to laugh anymore, i should just come on here more often and read your ****!!

Congrats on your baby with little red riding hood, that accounts for 9 months, we're waiting for your turbo integra nearly 2 years now hahahahaha

 

Mn, the entire country of ireland is laughing at this guy!!

 

keep it up cian ya might get banned off this site aswell .

little red riding hood?

yea it will be 2 yrs in nov but sure what about it ? wheres the problem ?

ill tell ya what we will do,see if these ctr pistons work or not ill give ya a run ? your woman might give ya her itr ? or do you have a car of your own yet cian ? times must be tough if your dependin on your woman to give you the odd run in the teg .

 

Lol don't waste your breath dude.
Topic has been beaten like a dead horse

 

with an LS crank and rods...
