Default Which Pistons should I go with in my b16?

JDM p30, USDM ITR, CTR

I heard, the ITRs will lower my compression though. Is this true?

sup,
you should get the jdm ctr pistons. since they're the only pistons that will give you a good cr @ about 10.8 and if that's still low get a mugen or a spoon head gasket.

first of all, there is no such thing as "USDM CTR" Civic Type R's are only available in japan.

Info from the FFSqaud:

P30 pistons in b16a: 10.4:1
USDM P73 pistons in b16a: 10.4:1
JDM P73 pistons in b16a: 10.6-7:1
PCT pistons in b16a: 11.1:1


P73= ITR pistons
PCT= CTR pistons
P30= 92+ jdm b16a pistons

Why not Endyn? Get a custom rate. If not, then CTR for sure. I have heard it is slightly higher than what FF Squad shows, 11.4:1, and I beleive they word their specs as "about", but I am not sure...

yes the itr slugs will drop your compression. Go with ctr or jdm p30 and thinner headgasket

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with the p30 and a spoon or mugen head gasket so I can be at 10.6:1
