im going turbo on my 89 B16a i was wondering if i should just get CTR pistons or should i just get after market low compression pistons and as far as the head i wanted to get everything CTR valvetrain for sure but is that a bad setup??
CTR pistons would raise the CR too high for boost. Even factory, the B16s compression isn’t too great for boost imo.
Get some low CR pistons, around 9.5 should be good. Valve train upgrade is a good idea.
why do you want a complete CTR valvetrain?
How much power are you looking to make?
What type of rebuild are you going to do?

Your tune needs to be spot on with that much compression not to mention a built up bottom end.
