B16B pistons in a B18C7

[monstaR]

Was thinking of putting b16b pistons in my Teg type r with stock internals, at the same time increasing the compression. Is it a more viable option then changing the cams?

[type one]

no. do not do this - it is a waste of time... if you are going to crack open your rocker cover then do it properly.

Have seen one conversion in singapore as above, that is pushing about 140 kws at the wheels....... with b16b pistons only, modified stock exhaust box, mugen headers, mugen computer, no cat and thats it....... was pretty impressed by it mate...... :wave:

[type one]

up to you... everyone does their own thing... if you running 140kw at the wheels i'd like to see the dyno it was tested on cos that seems a bit ridiculous...


b16b pistons ain't gonna do that much - i stand by that.

[monstaR]

I do understand where you are coming from but i was just so impressed by the dc2r that i saw.... so was wondering whether it would be a worthwhile job?

[Speeder]

i personally think his done more then just pistons to get 140kw at the treds, but if he can prove it, damn im gonna get myself those pistons

[monstaR]

He is a good friend of my dad's and he is pretty famous in singapore for vtecs, races them in malaysia. I did not believe him at first, but through talking to others, they say that it is true....... how true i don't know but i have sat in it and trust me it is pretty quick.... so I wanted to ask if anyone in australia has done this before...or has seen it before.

i will let you sit in my car and it is "pretty quick" as well... and i have stock internals.

sounds like your pretty convinced.. how bout you get a set of b16b pistons which z10 can source for you and let us know how you go?

[monstaR]

don't know might try that type one.... anyway are there any good tuners around? What have you done to your car? Sounds interesting to check out your car with "stock internals"..... just have a feeling that you might be pulling me on this one. Cheers :D

CTR pistons will raise compression to about 12.0:1. Pistons on its own won't do much, but the pistons with more aggressive cams will make it more worthwhile

nah man... my point is what one person considers "fast" is different fomr someone else's idea of fast...

im not pulling your leg... i think my car is pretty quick... but i am running stock internals...

[monstaR]

Hey type one, you located in melbourne? Going for the melb auto salon? Should organise like a group thingy for it...... :D

[pornstar]

type one can i get a ride in it? i miss Na feelings of high revving ITR egniones :(

[type one]

yeah me in melb. not really interested in autosalon... if you want to go to Jap salon in tokyo in january give me a buzz.

[type one]

ahahaha from what i hear your car is a bit of a beast pornstar...

[pornstar]

nah its pretty slow, maybe im used to it not sure man.
but yer can i get a ride? id love to feel the 1.8 at 9kr rpms NA man...

If you're planning to do it make sure you budget for a good ECU and a tuner.
High comp. motors run very lean untuned and chances are you'll have to manually retard the timing to stop most detonation from ocurring.
I know this from first-hand experience. I ran my motor untuned for 3 months with timing set at 14DTDC.
b18c with ITR o/s .25mm pistons.

I would do it.

you'l get a Compression Ratio of about 11.75 - 1 should be good for a noticeable increase in power, especially with ported head the R has from factory.
