My setup...will it work?

[Samhonda95]

Ls/vtec
B18B1 block
.25 ctr pistons
Ls rods/w ARP bolts

Pr3-2 head
Buddy Club spec 5's
Skunk2 IM
RC 550 injectors

I hear the spec 5's wont work with the ctr's. Is that true?

[r_Senik]

i think the ptc(civic type r) pistons are an overkill for the ls/vtec set up
you should probbly run pr3(b16) pistons

You mean CTR(Civic TypeR) ?

As for your setup, it sounds pretty decent with a good tune. How many degrees on the cams ?

Hope you dont plan on running pump gas in that thing

COMPRESSION with CTR PIstons
PR3 head/B18A/B Block

STD = 12.825536009218106
.25 OS = 12.88971493738735

Your almost 13:1, dont do it, sell the CTR pistons an use PR3 (B16) which will give you a nice 11.5:1.

BC5s are too aggressive for that setup, youd be better off with Skunk2 PRO1s are BC4s

[Samhonda95]

the pr3 is a good piston but i just did an ls/vtec with the p30 for a freind and i beat him with a stock gsr swapped hatch:idb: so i want to go bigger

SO your basis for running 13:1 is because one car beat another?

You asked about your setup, i shared my opinion, what do i know, i only made 240whp all motor

lololol

please explain why they are too aggressive.......if you don't mind

He jsut did.....tard. Here let me try.....COMPRESSION>>>>WILL>>>BE>>>TOO>>>HIGH....g ot it?

nice try dumbass but the cams being to aggresive doesn't have jack **** to do with the compression being to high. read before you post

Wow... harsh words for someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

He asked for some help, and you flamed on him at the first chance you could. Chill out.

And you wonder why people are affraid to ask questions about their motors...

Dude, I'm not trying to be a nut rider, but just listen to Mike and All-Mota and you can't go wrong. Internet flamers like Honngodda411 are only here to try and make a name for themselves.

^^Thanx man, I def. will. My plans have already changed. Gonna go with CP pistons and egale rods like my old setup but with a worked head this time around And thanx again for the advice guys.

[all-mota]

because those cams have tons of duration on the low cam alone not counting the high cam so you have to worry about valve to valve clearance before you can even think about piston to valve. to set them up and run them the right way you would have to sink the valves into the head quite a bit to keep the valves from hitting each other down low.

trust me i ran them in my engine. as for the ctr's why the hell would you want to use the heaviest factory honda pistons on factory ls rods even if everyting was setup perfect you could spend a litle more money and make more power with aftermarket parts.

just buy some eagle rods for cheap and some 11:5 or 12:1 cp's or something and make more power with better parts and it will run way longer

^^^thats the explanation I wanted. thanx chris...and btw I'm stll gettin them from you


Mr.Kidd, I didnt knock ur opinon. I was lookin forward to it. i know you made great powr all-motor. That's why I asked. You know ur **** and I wanted ur opinon....thanx alot

as far as the PR3/CTR thing.....i already had them laying around so i figured i'd use them for somethig....hell i might just put the in my spare B16 block
p.s. i'm not a tard
