12:1 with bigger cams to help lower your dynamic compression ratio.

damn, 12's.....now are you guys running theses ratios or you meet a guy that's sister's brother's girl friend's cousin had once seen a car with it?

These are also daily driven for how long? how many miles per day? total miles on engine?

Crower stage 3 cams are n there too.

thanks for the rep's....keep em cumin.

My car, 6,000 miles on the motor. JE 12:1 pistons and Skunk2 Stage 2's. Daily driver. My ignition timing is at 6 degrees BTDC on 91 octane pump gas. 16 degrees BTDC on 100 octane race gas at the track.

Skunk stage 2 cams- dyno numbers at 16 BTDC are : 199.6/140.8. Not completely happy with this motor. Building another B18C with Golden Eagle 84mm sleeves and another set of the JE 12:1 pistons. Going to get a B16 head and have it professionally ported. My current head is stock USDM Type-R.

I would go 13:1 with 93 Octane and a High overlap cam like Toda C and atleast Hondata for Tuning.

Or 12.4-12.6:1 with Jun 3s and 93 Octane. It's all about your setup and tuning though.

Well, i dont have the money to change the entire setup so im going to use what cams i have now, crower 63402...i think....still trying to figure out from previuous owner. I was thinking MAYBE 11.8:1 on 93 octane using only VAFC for tuning

I have a new line of pistons in 11.8-12:1 compression, S2000 Slipskirt design for daily drivers.

They are good because they fit alot tighter than alot of pistons on the market, at:

.0028

And have slightly deeper valve reliefs to accomodate your Toda cams.

They are also a great value.

You get somebody who really knows what they are doing, like Steve and you can get away with that compression with 93 octane.

But I don't recommend it, expecially with stock sleeves. (B20).

we find 12.4:1 is relatively borderline on 91 octane. I don't have 92 anymore, so I can't say, before it was like 13:1 on 92.

hey jeff w/ import review, what kind of pistons are those and how do they compare in weight to the weisco and JE's?

thats some good power steve, but i bet you spend a lot of time of tuning and upkeep. Im going for max power i can get outta "tune it and forget it" philosophy.
is that daily driven too? nonetheless, props to a hell of a motor!
