I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS THIS SETUP IN A TYPE R MOTOR OR HAS THE KNOWLEGDE AND WHAT THE TOTAL COMPRESSION RATIO OF THE SPOON PISTONS AND THE 1 PLY HEADGASKET IS? WHAT THE TOTAL HORSEPOWER WILL BE GAINED, I JUST HAVE STK INTERNALS BESIDE PISTONS, GASKET AND EXHAUST AND FINALLY DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND FPR AND UPGRADED FUEL PUMP? THANKS ALOT...

 

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of not typing in all caps.

 

 

i'm not quite sure about the compression ratio of the spoon pistons, but i believe they're are almost the same as the CTR and ITR pistons but they are rebalance by SPOON. About the spoon head gasket, its like 200 dollars i think and it increase your compression without milling the head.... i think is a weaste of money, but it does work!!!!!

This was answered in the ITR forum.
The Spoon balanced JDM ITR pistons in a B18C5 make 11.1:1 compression. The two layer gasket bumps it to about 11.3-11.4:1. Single ply should take it to about 11.5-11.6:1.
No experience here with the 1 layer. I did run the 2 layer shortly, and have taken it off. Sealed just fine. I have heard the 1 layer is not as easy to get to seal...
