How good is TypeR piston into b16a block ?

[J101]

evox2,
it would be better to use the b16a p30 pistons inside the 1.8L. the CTRs would yield a higher compression but then again its up to your choice. some ppl like it strong. some ppl like it safe and reliable and other combination mixture in the head.

 

[crower75]

why aa ?? kennot tahan aa ??

 

[hattech-v]

try it first laa.... hehe

 

[crower75]

no thanks eheheheh....standard B16A pistons enuff for my daily home-work-home routine

 

[J101]

yeap. you need to shave the sides of the rods(1mm on each side) a little where the piston goes in.

dunno if other mechs got different style of puttin' it together

 

[crower75]

but would "B16B pistons inside B16A block" be more reliable than a 2 liter setup ?

 

[hattech-v]

i think 2l standard piston inside 2l block much reliable than b16b piston inside b16a block...

 

[crower75]

hmmmm........i better belanja my alor star mech ehehehe he oso advised me on the reliability issue of B16B pistons plonked in a B16A block when i overhauled recently eheheh

 

[J101]

crower75,
Definitely.

 

[crower75]

Q : would the reliability issue be in the area of "valve - to - piston - slap" area ?

 

[J101]

stock vs modded. definitely bro. but then again nowadays ppl want to use the biggest the possible.

i think 2l standard piston inside 2l block much reliable than b16b piston inside b16a block...

 

[crower75]

For me Type-R is KiNG (Type-Reliability) miahahahaha

 

[hattech-v]

oso can stand for type rempit... haha

 

[evoX2]

i got this from the net

Approximate Compression Ratios
(when using 'R' Pistons in B-series engine(s)):
• Stock B16B CR=10:8
• B16B pistons in B16A CR=11:1ish
• B16B pistons in B17A CR=11.4ish
• B16B pistons in B18C w/GSR head CR=11.8 or more
• B16B pistons in B18C w/ITR or B16A head CR=11.6 or more

• P73 US pistons in B16A CR=10.4ish
• P73 US pistons in B17A CR=10.6ish
• P73 US pistons in B18C w/GSR head CR=10.8-9ish
• P73 US pistons in B18C w/ITR or B16A head CR=10.6
• P73 JDM pistons in B16A CR=10.6-7ish
• P73 JDM pistons in B17A CR=10.8ish
• P73 JDM pistons in B18C w/GSR head CR=11.3-4ish
• P73 JDM pistons in B18C w/ITR or B16A head CR=11.1

what ratio is consider safe with normal octane petrol?
P73 dome is higher than B16A but how come install into B16A yeild lower compression?

 

[crower75]

ahaaa...dat one only the TypaRians can answer heheheh ........

 

[J101]

because p73 was inside a 1.8 block which has a tall block and longer rods compensation.

P73 dome is higher than B16A but how come install into B16A yeild lower compression?

 

[D_clothes]

eddie if you still have used set or anyone have any used set do let me know .
drop me a PM interested buyer here .

So bottom line issit worth it ?

 

[akuma]

evox2,
u sure d P73 has a higher dome thn d P30 pistons?frm my naked eyes,i think d P30 is higher wor?

n err..i've seen alot of daily driven+lenjan B16A engine w PCT pistons inside...no problem oso?as long as u measured d clearance properly b4 torqueing down d head n fuelling is tuned properly..shud haf no problem ler.......

 

[Grex_R]

aiya go buy ford 83mm from amoil lah rm800+. rebore block definitely faster.

 

[D_clothes]

Grex_R tai kor , do you mean by what ever piston also can go in the block ?
Why FORD ? from what kind of FORD ?
