I want to build a Poor-Man Type R engine. Here's the plan; CTR Pistons, ITR Cams, B16 Head, and B18C1 Block. Is there a write up on this? Any tips would be nice.Thanks

 

Ah, just my kind of guy. I had the exact same setup before I went turbo. But I had an LS block. But I love hybrids.

CTR pistons
ITR cams
Skunk valve train
RC 310cc Injectors

It's a really nice setup, just be careful with the spark plugs because you'll have clearence issues with the pistons being really high. I just used washers on my plugs and I didn't have any problems. Also, get some good strong motor mounts. Those pistons definatly torque that motor back and it will slam right into your hood. I know from experience. The last thing is, I hope that you have some money to pay for the gas, those CTR pistons don't like 91 octane, they like race gas. You might get some detination.

 

Use a bigger cam and a piston with a smaller dome.

USDM or JDM ITR or JDM P30. The PCT-X's are heavier and you probably won't like the shorter piston-to-deck height they produce; especially if you deck the block, even just a little.
