I am about to swap a b18c1 into my 97 civic ex, I was thinking about getting ctr pistons for it to raise my C.R. to 11:1, The ones im looking into dont come with rings, could i use the rings off the gsr pistons? Also would my stock gsr rods hold up with the higher compression? Also with the swap, would my civic ex (sohc vtec) be enough to cool the b18c1? Thanks in advance

I dont think you want ctr pistons if you just wand 11:1 compression...with the ctr pistons in the b18c it will go over 11.6+

If you want that compression look into the itr pistons

what kind of compression will those pistons give me in my b18b?
