Ive already searched and some people say its ok and some dont. Anyone actually have this done on theyre daily driver? Stock everything else.

thanks for any info in advance

 

headaches..
worse combustion quality.
unneeded super high compression( for a street car at least)

 

i have ctr pistons in my gsr engine and let me tell you......ITS A PAIN IN THE ***
you gotta get your shortblock honed at the shop $80, new piston rings ~$160 oem gsr rings, installation (if you duno how to do it yourself) $200 bucks, not to mention if you pull out your head from your block you have to get a new head gasket $100...
so your ctr pistons (i duno how much they are..200?) plus 280 for labor for hone and install, 160 for rings, 100 for gasket sooooo
750 bucks? for 1 or 2 points more compression? plus you know how much it is if you have to change your rings in the future at the shop???????? $800 FREAKIN BUCKS (NOT INCLUDING THE RINGS!)
if youre an na junkie do it if you love it that much but if i were you id do yourself a favor..buy your loved ones some presents and flip your car off..
im going to run 13:1 compression btw...not very safe...

It can be a potent setup, but PCT's in a P72 block with either VTEC head yields stupid high compression that, without tuning, can cause detonation on 93 octane pump gas.

If you're looking for more compression, consider a set of high compression valves and a thinner headgasket.

 

i am doing a rebuild anyway so I thought I might try this.......guess not
