will CTR pistons work in a ls block well???? no ls vtec here just strait raw ls.

 

I think you have to do some custom stuff to your rods. I think.

 

you u can use ls rods

 

so it will work and produce power???what would the compression go up to if thats done a freind of mine said it should probably work fine, he has them ina gsr and he said it moved his up about a point in compression. i am looking for good economy idea ways to make power.

 

it will bring your compression up to 11.4:1, stock is 9.2:1

with that compression, you should be making b16 power, with a lot more torque. you will have to run premium though.

11.71 to 1 if you use a mugen head gasket it will be 12.0 to 1

 

no, its 11.4

where did you get 11.7 from?

i'm wrong 11.4 is right but you can get 11.7 with a 2 layer head gasket

how does ur car run any negative effects from doing the CTR pistons???? i drive this car daily so driveability is important. this will be for basically a stock block with i/h/e/clutch and stock valvetrain. i just want to make sure it will make enough considerable gains for the price(get dealer price for honda oem parts )
