So do you have to use the b16 head only or you can use the GSR or ITR head also?

i know its a brain fart andrew but the rs pistons are cast aluminum not cast iron...could you imagine the weight of a cast iron piston?

hahahaha....durrr

that'd be rediculous!

I've used the RS machines 81.50mm and 82mm pistons before and they're good quality peices for the price and I like how they've got the coatings on the skirts.

Here's a stupid question.
Do you need a catch can (pcv system) for every b20vtec setup?

yes, every engine comes with a PCV system, so you should set something up for a b20vtec.

Ya i know every engine has a pcv system.
I heard for the b20vtec's....you can buy an oil cooler joint from a prelude...and it will replace the hex nut that is located right beside the oil filter. Then you just run yours lines from that new joint to the catch can and so on and so forth.
