im wondering if its possible to install a ctr intake manifold and piston to my b16a engine... any advices, requirements, pros and cons... tia
 
It's interchangeable, no problem. Make sure though you remap your ECU so your engine knows what to do with the extra amount of air and also make sure your car can breath on the exhaust end ;)

k i see, remap-does this means of retuning? damn im really nood at these things.

someone told me that i still have to mill my rod if i want to use a ctr pistons? will this work even though i keep my cams and rods stock, do i still have to rebore? tnx
 
If you install those pistons it will bring your compression right up to 11.91:1. Theres not much point in doing that unless you going to go for a nice set of cams. Ime not 100% sure but the b16b pistons should go straight on to those rods. As for the rebore, your the only one that can anser that. You need to take the head off and get the bores checked.
 
I'm with Rich777 on the pistons. Read over the piston part, thought you only wanted to change the IM :p Remap means tuning your ecu.
 
AFAIK you need to machine the b16b pct piston to make them work with b16a rods. something like 1mm machined off either side to make the piston accept rod.

I believe it was 1mm off each side of the rod, and b16b piston is not pr3, its pct.
 
okay i see, there are really lots of things i need to consider :) thanks for your help guys
 
Do your research before even thinking about anythink. It sounds like your quite new to the game. A good final drive and lightweight flywheel will work wonders on any na civic. Pm Mfactory for more technical info :nice:.

couldn't have said it any better myself. :bow:

If your setup lacks an LSD, that is definitely another worthwhile upgrade.
