Whats the advantage of having them in a basically stock 98 ITR... are they better than the USDM itr ones?? *Jus Wondering*

 

one advantage is that ctr pistons have higher compression then usdm itr pistons. The compression is ~12.1-1. Usdm is 10.6-1. So higher compression could lead to more power depending on other mods and tuning of course. I personally run jdm itr pistons and am very satisfied with them. The compression is ~11.0-1, just right imo :wink: .

 

isnt 12.1:1 pretty high..

 

yea it's high, i personally wouldn't go with them unless it is a race car not daily driven. too much of a hassle.

 

No, you can run on pump gas pretty easily on 12:1.

 

Granted, if they are tuned properly!

 

what hassel is involved with them?? Would it make a good diffenece after tuning, with only i/h/e

 

Is there a difference between "B16" pistons and "CTR" pistons?

I swear, I think Sakai said I was getting B16 pistons. Knowing him, that might be a compromise as far as the C/R goes so that there's no problem w/pump octane.

 

Say on stock cams or mild cams like Toda A's, are there any gains to be seen swaping in JDM ITR pistons?

 

Yeah, the P30 pistons. Quick search says they should be good for 11.2:1 or 11.4:1 compression, depending on whether they are US or JDM spec.
