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 ---

If you’re building a B16 atleast bore it to 85mm and get it sleeved. You’ll be much happier if you did. Are you from the same Houston near Cannonsburgh? ---

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. ---

> [@whoshonda](#): > > 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. ---

ctr pistons will give you a little boost in cr but as the others have said its hard to run 12’s with that b16 ---

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. ---
