has anybody done this setup cause i dont want to run over 12:1.
cant really decide what pistons i want to run. any help would be appreciated.
got a b18c1 with:
eagle rods
skunk2 valvetrain, stage 1 cams, intake manifold
spoon head gasket
thanks

 

I would stick with low to mid 11's compression, which should be good for your cams and leave a good safety margin so you don't have to worry about detonation.

Some jdm itr pistons would be good for about 11.3:1

or p30's which would be about 11.6:1.

Whoops, didn't notice you had a spoon gasket, I would suggest the jdm itr pistons.

 

so are the spoon itr balanced pistons worth getting vs jdm itr pistons for my set up? i do want to stay in the mid 11's. anybody run pr3's in there b18c1's?

 

anybody????

 

search.

but...
I have jdm itr pistons in my GSR motor with other mods as you noted and it fuggin RIPS.
I plan on building another GSR motor (B17A) and hope to have that at around 11.5:1 as well.
