Default CTR or ITR pistons....??

need some help on this because i just recently bout a 96 integra gsr and not sure which pistons would be good for the upgrade. used to have a 240sx so therefore im not quite sure bout honda parts. the ctr i read gave 12.5 compressor where as the itr gave 11.5 compression. so im not sure which one to buy. if someone can help me out, ill appreciate it and for the ppl that are goin to say stupid sutff, dont bother.

Id go with ITR cuz the octane that we have in the states really isnt high enough for the ITR so therefore its not nearly good enough tomake the ctr pistons run like they should. IF its for like a drag setup go with the CTRS

You can run CTR pistons on 93 octane, people do it all the time.

i wouldnt recommend CTR pistons for a daily driven street car. ITR will boost up compression plenty high. and its more like 11.2:1

Why go half assed? If you can run 12.2:1 why settle for less?

Have you ever run 12.2:1+? It takes a good bit of work, not recommended if you only have one car and it is your daily. some b16a pistons will drop you a little over 11.5:1 or so. Great for a street car.

If he does it right and tunes it well, then he should be fine. But if he wants to play it safe, i would agree on the b16a pistons.
