ITR pistons in B16 block
i was wondering if there were any issues with installing these pistons. Also i would like to know when upgrading the B16, what modifications should i go for first. I will probably go with a flywheel and clutch. But besides that i need some info for some really good gains all motor style.

Re: ITR pistons in B16 block
They will fit, but you will actually be lowering your compression. Stock b16 pistons are 6.01cc while the USDM ITR is 3.64 and the JDM ITR is 5.96cc.
If you are looking to up the compression, look into buying some JDM b16 pistons (p30). Still a very streetable setup. You can also get some CTR pistons.

Re: ITR pistons in B16 block
itr pistons are for 1.8l and of course b16 is 1.6 you could get ctr pistons ... unless you have an ls/vtec then they'd work.. the engine work required to make the itr pistons work would probly be more expensive then buying aftermarket pistons that would actually raise your compression or lower it depending on the setup you want to run. good luck

Re: ITR pistons in B16 block
Jay is correct. Also, why take the time to remove your old cast, heavy pistons to replace them with more cast, heavy pieces? I have yet to understand this theory. Aftermarket pistons offer a much better advantage in weight which will make a large difference in performance over any stock, cast piston.

i ran the p30s in my ITR engine with a spoon 2layer headgasket to get around 11:6:1, and it ran pretty good.
