Looking for good pistons for my all motor B16, stock size…anyways suggestions…anyone have any experience with an all motor B16…looking to build an autocross hatch that can still run 12s or so in the 1/4…possibly considering ls vtec,anyone familiar with that swap?
also if anyone has any 16" wheels they are wanting to sell let me know…light wheels and no chrome…nothing that i can get off of any stock car preferrably
I would pick up an ls block for 100 dollars or less and stuff some p30’s in there. You will be much happier with the results than with the 1.6 if your staying n/a.
Definitely go with a 1.8 bottom end if not bigger. GSR bottom end with ctr pistons and some decent cams will definitely rip and possibly break into the 12’s on slicks.
i have one… and a crank if you need that too. PM me if your interested
also, highway star has some sort of type R piston that i think he is trying to sell. they are sitting at my house, i just dont recall what the are.
sound deadening? useless metal supports and brackets in the dash, back seat support, so on and so on. to hit 12’s all motor on a b16 you better gut the shit out of your car.
ctr pistons will be ok for the 1.6 but if you shoud decide to go 1.8 I would recommend against them for a coupe reasons. They will be like high 12’s compression ratio and they will be alot of weight slinging around at the end of an ls crank at 9,000 rpms.
I’ve seen 175 whp out ctrs with s2s2 cams in a 1.6, I dont know what your power goals are.
Like everyone said to even dream of 12’s that car is gonna have to be feather lite and still no gaurantees.
