What's Up, this is my first topic on here so bear with me. I have an LS-VTEC in my 92 hatch and was considering upping the compression. Here's my setup
B-18a block 2.0 liter
B-18c head
knife- edged crank
crower rods(not econo)
JE pistons ~10.8CR
full REV valvetrain
Crower stage 2 cams
intake
header

My question is can you swap the pistons for more compression( I was thinking about 12.0:1) without balancing the whole bottom end since the motor only has about 1,000 miles on it. It was built as a mild setup and now I want to get more out of it.
I already searched, but didn't find an anwer to my question. Any replies would help. Thanks

Pick up a set of wiesco's.. you won't be disappointed.

 

You should be fine. And I second the switch to Wiseco pistons. Good stuff!

 

thanks for the info. Does anyone here have any Wiesco pistons for sale for a 84.5mm bore. I can't really find any in the classifieds.
