building my block need help

[rspjean]

im putting my b18c5 head on my b18c1 block should i use itr pistons or ctr pistons? anything other items u guys recomend for the block?

ITR JDM pistons.. CTR may be a tad too high of compression.

x2! You can also go with the USDM ITR pistons.

 

[rspjean]

is there anything else i should do to the block ? im getting it re surfaced and getting the itr pistons

You could install some ACL rod bearings.

 

[TypeR?]

save some cash by getting a b16 head instead of the c5 head. they are the same casting. unless you are getting a deal on it

 

[rspjean]

i already have it

CTRs would only be 11.7:1
USDM ITR would only be 10.6:1


I would go with CTRs.

ARP head studs, have your crank micro polished, and pistons and rods balanced and blueprinted. And since you got your motor in pieces, lighter forged rods are always good insurance on a built motor, but all this is jus my 2 cents

I didnt see the reccomend part......

Bore it to 84mm and stroke that bitch. Check aussies build.

Low budget, arp rod bolts, rs machine pistons with 12:1 compression, oem or acl bearings, arp headstuds
High budget, go for broke, I did.

are you planning to boost it or stay all motor the whole time? i would get forged pistons just in case you decide to turbo it down the road.

So he's going to put forged high comp or low comp in? If you change apps you change pistons. That's why I recommended the rs because they're good and cheap to replace.

 

[Ominous G2]

I imagine if hes asking about ITR or CTR pistons he has NA plans.

 

[Aussie]

I just reccomended the rs because they cost the same as the itr or ctr in most cases, good thing is you can specify compression with them.
