Are there any stock pistons I can use in a b18a block to increase my compression?? If so which engines do these come in?

Thanks

b16 pistons

does it matter what generation B16 it is? What kind of increase will it have?

Thanks

b16 pistons


Will I need the rods too or just the pistons. I found a 1st gen B16 bottom end will that be any good to me??

Thanks

Found these as well!!

1 - ""4 - b16a second gen rods w/p30 pistons""

2 - ""1 - Set of mint shape JDM GSR pistons less than 15k on them""

Will these be any good?

Sorry for all the posts!!

use 16a pistons from (4th or 5th gen. maybe ??? not sure) the b16 pistons are domed more than the GSR and will raise u (up to) a point....
u dont need tha b16 rods. but if u plan on gettin rods... get carillo, scat <(spelling?), or eagle

I dont know if these will help, but I had the same problem deciding which pistons to use and this is what I know:

lsvtec with b16 head and ctr pistons
head Gasket 2.8cc big vol= 497.6cc
piston dome vol. 6.3cc small vol= 39.2cc stock lsvtec=12.7
camber vol. 44cc
deck height .25mm 1.3cc
cyl vol. 458.4cc

in case you have a GSR head take a look at this :

lsvtec with gsr head and ctr pistons
head Gasket 2.8cc big vol= 495.6cc
piston dome vol. 6.3cc small vol= 37.2cc stock gsr/lsvtec=13.3
camber vol. 42cc
deck height .25mm 1.3cc
cyl vol. 458.4cc

Get the Civic type R pistons (CTR) and you'll be all set...

Generally you don't want to go above 11.5:1 compression on a street car on pump gas.

B16a rods wont work in a b18 block(theyre too short). if you want the highest compression you can get, just get B16A pistons or the CTR ones. they pretty much have the highest domes.

can you use B16a or CTR pistons wihtout having a Vtec head?

can you use B16a or CTR pistons wihtout having a Vtec head?

Yes, they will be fine.
