Hello Guys,
I ordered a set of 83mm pistons from Toda with some liners, but as a result of some language barriers, Toda decided to just send me some pistons with no liners and a little note saying please send your block back to Japan for us to fit the liners (thanks Toda)
So having spoken to a couple of tuners I have 2 options:
1. Use the set of 83mm pistons with the Darton sleeves which will give me about 1900cc (already got a spoon stroker kit) giving me more torque and a bit more power, but will lower the compression ratio compared with option 2. Also thereâs the cost of this set up.
2. Use a set of 82mm Toda/Jun pistons which will give me 60cc less than option 1, a little bit less power, less torque but a higher compression ratio, but increased compression makes more power any way. The plus side is this set up will have more revs to play with.
Have been told by a tuner that option 2 would better as the B16b engines work better with a higher compression ratio and that this would work better with my Jun stage 3 cams. But Iâm sure Iâm not the only one who wants to squeeze every last bit of power out of their engines, right guys.
Which set up does everyone think will work better on a B16b lump and what sort of difference in power and torque will both set ups have? This is for a track car by the way.
