Rebuilding the B16 in the Sol. I would like to have 11.0:1 to 11.5:1 C/R using HONDA OEM Pistons.

Thoughts are B16 pistons with decked head and Mugen Headgasket or CTR pistons with thick headgasket...or something like that.

What are your suggestions?

Im going for the CTR pistons with a Spoon 1ply this should bring the compression up into the 11.5:1 area. dont forget to use arp stud bolts and rod bolts when you rebuild.

 

YOU DONT NEED THE HEAD STUD BOLTS!! BUT THE ROD BOLTS WILL WORK GOOD!! BUT OTHER THEN THAT 88EF IS ON RIGHT TRACK!!

 

I was under the impression that CTR pistons in a B16 with B16 rods yields a 12.1:1 C/R...or something like that.

 

nevermind...just found the specs. Ctr pistons in B16 yield 11.1:1. Add another .4:1 C/R from a spoon/mugen headgasket would equal 11.5:1. I think this is how I will go.

Who has the best prices on CTR pistons/rings?
GodSpeed? JDMHondaParts?

your set up sounds like it would be fine.

Also can someone please reset my profile??

I got that error message again....
what is this from?

thanks

 

Im going for most of my parts from www.inlinefour.com they got pretty good prices and sell alot of hard to find shit their CTR Slugs with rings is $360 or just $200 without rings.
