I’m attempting to duplicate a car that was built 50 years ago that used the Edelbrock manifold. Does anyone know if Edelbrock has changed the design of their Chevy 3x2 intake manifolds designed for Rochester carbs in the past 50 years? I know what a strange question.

I have a 82mm b18b1 block that i plan on sending to GE to be bored to 85mm sleeved and was wondering how to calculate for pistons/rod combo after buying a 95mm eagle crank? Could i still run 13:1 pistons and eagle rods with a crank that size? Im reusing the b18c1 head for this setup, skunk2 cams, gears. The JDM 00 piston is the piston of choice for a B18C as it will yield about 11:1 in this combo.Im building a ls/vtec motor to replace my gsr motor and i have a few questions. Type R A0 piston is the piston to use in the larger displacement LS Frank engine, as it will yield approximately 11:1 compression with this combo due to its lower dome.

The difference between the two is that the JDM piston has a slightly taller dome, which gives about 0.2 higher compression. The Integra Type R piston is available in two versions, the P73-00 JDM version and the P73-A0 U.S. With cast pistons detonation should be avoided at all costs as they are more brittle than forged pistons. Higher compression than this requires racing gas to avoid detonation. The reason why Hondas can get away with this high compression ratio with modern unleaded fuel is mostly because of their superior combustion chamber shape and small bore diameters. Cast pistons are also easier on the cylinder walls.įor a Honda street engine that will run on pump gas, the maximum compression that should be run is in the low 11:1 range. This makes for an engine that's quieter and burns less oil.

An advantage for cast pistons in a daily driver sort of car is they can use a much tighter piston-to-wall clearance. Since they are cast, they are not the best choice for a nitrous oxide-burning engine but they are excellent in all-motor applications. This is the best way to make a cast piston. Type R pistons are a high-pressure die cast construction. THe OEM ITR pistons are suitable for your setup. The VictorX is just overkill.too big.īasically when buying rods most shops sell a piston/rod combo for cheap. I went with the skunk2 IM mated with a ITR ECU. The skunk2 is the best way to go as of now. With a mild setup as you per stated.upgraded to either IM in negligible. The VictorX is biggercompared to the skunk.big gains are more noticeable when mated with FI engines. Upgrading to a manifold is only necessary when the stock IM is the bottleneck of your inatke system.

The skunk2 is basically a ITR manifold designed to bolt on a gs-r(b18c1) head. If the plenum isn't large enough or the runners are too small, the resulting lower air velocity and/or lack of air volume going into the combustion chamber can impact the performance output of the engine.ĪSG AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEM GROUP (JG EDLEBROCK DISTRIBUTOR) The primary job of an intake manifold is to direct the air from the intake tract into the intake ports of the cylinder head. When items like high-lift cams, ported and polished heads and high-compression pistons are installed, the engine's air flow requirements increase. Although the stock intake manifolds on B-series engines work fine on everything from stock to lightly modified applications, it can become insufficient when more extensive modifications are performed.' 'Although Honda did its homework when it came to designing the B-series engine, the engineers at JG Edelbrock have found ways to improve the intake system.
