HI, i was wondering, what would be my best bet for reliability and the best power, spoon type r pistons, civic type r pistons, or another choice, that is what i am looking at getting, unless someone reccomends something else, also, what is a good affordable set of rods to go with these. thanks

 

It's hard to answer your question.

Pistons will not give you power. I mean, you might be able to modify your compression slightly, but it's not something you want to do for "power" unless you plan on doing other things later on.

What is your goal for the car? Do you want a high compression all motor car? Low compression high boosting turbo car? Reasonably fast daily driver?

For the first two, you can consider getting different pistons.

 

best bet for reliability Leave it stock... perfect Reliability

best powerfor oem pistons, civic R pistons will give you the highest compression

good affordable set of rods to go with theseStock rods are good up to at least 250 hp so i would not worry about it

 

well, there will be many more bolt ons, most of which i already have, i am running a skunk2 manifold, itr cams, valve springs and retainers, spoon head gasket, 70 mm tb, aem type r cai, port and polished head, apexi gt spec header, so i will go with the ctr pistons then, can i have those on stock rods, and it work, or will it slap a valve, has anyone done this? thanks

 

should not have any problems with the CTR pistons they will fit fine i belive.
