^^ how much difference does the A/B Piston thing really make? I thought those were also about minute differences after boring the block at the factory. I mean is there actually a markedly larger combusion area for A's than B's (or am I mixing them up again?)

Its a very small difference. But when you get down to it, even boring out the cylinders is only a small difference in each. I think you got them mixed.

Yea the carbon build up is real and it happens. All the build up tends to raise compression. And mods only effect positivly a motor which has a good platform I.E. your motor is running strong and is healty aka means you could run 14s stock. Now an unhealty motor can run 15s all day. A weak motor with alot of bolt ons would barley be able to hit 14s and trap low.

Here's a useless tid bit of information about Integra GSRs. When imported from japan the first year they by accident were exquiped with the SIR-G motors along with transmissions. Some 94s here in the US have a LSD and 10:6 compression. hahaha

yea but carbon build up would probably negatively effect performance.. it causes hot spots and detonation..

^^ I can't imagine the carbon builds up uniformly over the entire combustion face of the piston.

Yea i wasnt saying that it was healthy. If built up carbon bothers you so much you could just use sea foam to make it blow out your exhaust.

Sea foam wont do it guys. Seriously, maby some of the loose crap. On both of my bottom ends they had a nice coat of carbon, mostly built up where the notches are cut in the pistons for the valves. That carbon wouldnt even come off with engine cleaner and a wire bit on the drill. It actually took a chisel to get it off.

The setup i had really seemed to work. still untuned and i could easily beat a tuned h22a. Its hard to Gauge on track numbers. Its all about a second gear pull. You race a Car from a rolling start from second gear, then you will see how much faster your car is, also gearing is a factor.

I honestly think the car has kind of a personality of its own. Sometimes its lazy sometimes now, i guess if im thining that way, you can get a stupid lazy car or a smart energetic car. Whatever, im just waking up.
i think your racing the wrong "tuned" h22s, ...but if you feel that way its your perogative

well, i think your ride would have torn me a new one. Im assuming you were running jdm trans also. Lsd? I think i should have been at about 14.5, with h23 trans and stock muffler, well if i could hook up that is.
