b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

alright. motor finally took a ------ ---- in my da today so i got a spare block and thinking on a high compression ls build. im hearing mixed thoughts on me using b16b pct pistons on my stock rods... here are the things that i have heard...


-need to shave 1mm of the sides of the small end of the rods to fit the pistons

-b18a rods will fit the pct pistons without modifications...


i dont ------ know what the hell to believe. just wondering if anyone has first hand expreience with this. LMK

Thanks

Jay

you dont need to do anything. it will all fit together fine doing nothing special

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

you need to modify either the rods or the pistons... rod wont fit into the piston otherwise...

same thing has to happen any time you put a piston from a P72 block (B16B/B18C1/B18C5 etc) into a PR3/PR4 block (B16A/B18A/B18B etc) :y


those pistons will put you at too high of a CR...dont do it... use PR3s...

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

i put sir2 pistons on ls rods with no problems. i was pretty sure i've seen ctr pistons went on the same way. am i not understanding the question ??

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

------- it just buy the right sized pm7 (zc) pistons. there higher comp but not extremely high. i dont know about fitting them on the rods so i wont throw my 2¢ in there. and why would you shave a rod the fit the block? just notch the block.... unless im not understanding you correctly.

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

why are you talking about d-series stuff

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

b16b pistons wont fit on b18a rods without shaving
b16b not equal b16a

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

dont mind the 6mm difference in bore it'll seal nicely

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

Just get oversized rings and you're golden. The extra 6 mm allows for mega expansion.

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

your an idiot... read what i wrote again... :1

a B16B uses a P72 block. its a de-stroked B18C-R... there for the pistons dont fit without mods...

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

he is asking if ctr pistons fit on b18a rods in a b18a block

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

B16B pistons are from a P72 block, B18A rods are from a PR4 block... THEY WONT ------ WORK WITHOUT MODDING... just like i said to begin with.



so to recap...

bitchasscracker = idiot that doesnt know wtf he is talking about

B16B pistons + PR4 rods = grinder to get them to fit

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

Yes but it also depends where he gets them, a few of my friends got them from ebay and no need to grind down while others did. :S

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

shitty aftermarket parts have no quality controls ::) you sure those where actually B16B/PCT pistons and not just PR3's?

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

oh and i bought some of those cheap ass ebay pistons for my homeboys car, we had to grind the fuckers to fit. :y

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

ok I have done this and they do work. but you must shave 1mm off the small end of the ls rod. if you are going to use the b16b/pcts you will be in the 12ish cr and depsite what people say this will run just fine on pump gas with moderate tuning. they really run best with 110+ but will make good power on pump. look to make in the high 190whp to low 200's with a set of regrinds on that setup.

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

thank you for the ebay confermation like i said. seem i do know what i'm talking about, my friend did buy them off ebay and they did fit ls rods.

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

thanks for all of the feedback!!!! thats what makes HMT the ------ ----. Quick answers and the exciting ------- ---- talking.......

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

hahahahah ------ nogs....... got the pct pistons to go in to the pr4 rods with no mods.....just letting yall know what going on!!!!

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

are they original Honda parts?
Negative

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

Way to get owned, ripped and not listen.

Either your pistons or your rods are not what you think they are. GL HF.

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

except the ebay ones we are talking about ------

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

Im sorry, the OP said PCT pistons on b18a rods. If they are ebay pistons, then they are not pct pistons. They are pct clones. In which case they are ---- anyways.

Where am I misunderstanding?

Re: b16b pistons on b18a rods in b18a block
 

---- i didnt think that this thread was still active after my last post....nope they are not OEM pistons......YCP B16b pistons
