Re: Looking for pistons
then get brand new b16a pistons and be around 10.5:1. probably around the same price. ebay is almost definitely going to be cheapest IMO if you are looking for OEM replacements.

Re: Looking for pistons
b18c5 pistons yield a lower compression than USDM b16 pistons do because of a smaller dome. jdm b16a is practically the same as usdm b16a pistons. if you are going all motor and want to go OEM i would recommend the b16b's. they are definitely streetable. i had a friend run a little over 13:1 compression in his daily driven b16 hatch without any problems whatsoever on a stock b16 ecu. i've been looking a lot into pistons choices and finally went aftermarket, but if you want to go a little cheaper i would suggest either stock b16a or b16b units. IM me if you really want to go into it.
