ctr pistons pr4 rods in a b16a

[dannykhaos]

ive been doing some research and havent found a solid answer wondering if my fellow azhters might have a better answer

can i run ctr pistons with pr4 rods in my b16a block? or will the rods be too long?
if not i have pr3 rods i can use. :)

Use the Pr3 Rods. They are more heavy duty, have stronger rod bolts, and WILL fit.

(the LS(pr4) rods are too long. You can make them work, but you'll need a custom piston, and it's not worth it. They won't work with an oem pct piston)

sweet thats what i was thinking. its like a 3mm difference so i wasnt sure

B16a blocks are shorter then a b18/20 block.
B16b block is same as a b18 block.

Just incase that helps

Wouldn't you need a different crank too?

Like dead bird said unless you have a custom piston you are not going to be able to use the PR4 rod and still use all factory parts. Wont matter which crank you use.
Besides the only thing that you would want to change the rod for is to get a better R/S ratio which a B16s is pretty ideal already.
