good point.
thats what i plan on doing in my 1gen crx

but i shouldnt have any probs with sleeves? i will be lowering the comp and using uber to tune. im just sick of having like two full kits (one b one d) sitting at my house and not being put to good use. are there any pistons that are better than another?

That's why they call them the disposable "D". All forged pistons are in all honesty pretty much all the same. I know alot of people like JE which if I had the money I would go with too but I've become pretty fond of Wiseco pistons'. I also can vouch for Tuner Toys rods. They are a great company to work with and have good products! Infact the TunerToys rods are made by a company called SYSC Rod Inc. in which the rods are manufactured in the same building as Eagle,Scat,etc.etc.

yeah tunertoys are good people to deal with im waiting on an oil line kit and diy log mani
so you think the tunertoys rod with a set of probe low comp should be a good set up(probes are the cheapes pistons i could find)

that or special pistons.
Which don't work, and the bores wear the ---- out anywhat. The ****** speshul coating on the skirts is composed primarily of LIES to sell you something.

It's all in the tune, anyway. Blundar will tell you of a boosted H22 running a MAPhack in the greater Cincy area last I knew it had 1.5 years of flogging the goat **** out of it + still no cracked ringlands.

spenser doesn't know what he's talking about, he's never owned a b series in his life. b20 sleeves are plenty strong enough, it's all in the tune. there are people making over 600whp on stock sleeves, and i personally have seen 415whp on stock b20 sleeves and i'm sure they could handle even more. good pistons/rods, a huge turbo and a good tune is all you need
