need some opinion on these pistons...heard that they were a good choice for high comp....i'm planing to get some pistons for my b18b motor (all motor non-vtec).....so throw me some thoughts on these pistons....how much do they usaully run for anyways? will they fit ls rods? will they be to big for the ls block? what's their comp ratio in a ls motor? would it be better if i went with the civic type-r pistons?

 

if you find b16 pistons used you shouldnt pay a lot
and they do fit (minor mods) your LS engine just raising your compresion

but what the heck go for CTR's

 

any other thoughts people!?

 

Yoyu could use b16a or b16b pistons. either will bump compression and give you a healthy bump in power. Make sure you get stock bore if you dont plan to OB the block. Do a search

 

yeah i searched but nothing on b16 pistons, how much would used b16a pistons run for? never mind!!! got another question though will the pr3 rods fit a b18b block? hows the clay (the distance between the pr3 pistons and the valves) when installed?

what are the advantages and disadvantages of running b16 pistons in a LS.

 

higher comperssion ratio

 

bump!!!

 

This works well in the GSR too right? You shouldn't pay much at all for the pistons. Just make sure they are in really good shape. Find someone who is building there B16A block and offer them 50 bucks for them.

 

I used them in my Poor Man's Type Arr, work well. 11.1:1 CR, 182hp and 132 torque with GSR cams and mild port work

 

coo, thanks

hears to good unexpensive pistons
