Default Need some help with calculating compression ratio

Hey guys.
Iīve searched alot and tried the zealautowerks compression calculator but couldnīt calculate the compression ratio.

Iīve got some 83mm CP pistons (8.5:1 for B18C block, B18B Crank and B18C1 head)

Since I want to go with a sleeved B16A2 block and B16A2 head instead with the B18C combo I would like to know the new compression ratio with theese pistons installed in the B16. The pistons have never been used. The PN is 76834.

Compression Hight 1.181
bore 3.268
dish depth -0.165
dome hight 0

Would be great if someone can help me out with my problem.

Thats why I want to use the B16 crank and rods ;-)

Its probably bc CP's piston catalog is horrible and for some reason they don't feel it's necessary to list important specs such as dome volume so people cannot accurately calculate compression. Contact CP, get the volume in CCs and go back to Zealwerks.
