^^ 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
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.

hmm, i think i HAD a freak motor. I had a nice high compression test. Also using all B pistons. Good clean Injectors, always changing oil and plugs. Obvously Mods help, seriously. I think Just because you have Bolt ons its not always going to make you that much faster. its just the correct Combonation. 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.

my car was untuned at the track, the ecu is just a standard mugen gsr program..and i have no LSD...i think theres alot of poor shape h22 out there or something
