Default P8R head... What pistons??

Acquired a P8R head for my turbo non-vtec build. As you may know, P8R utilizes a larger VTEC sized valve than other non-vtec heads. So this poses a problem when ordering forged pistons for my build(due to valve reliefs needing to be larger than normal non-vtec forged pistons). Block is going to be sleeved and bored to 84mm. Do I just get 84mm pistons for a VTEC engine? Will there be any problem putting these pistons on LS Eagle rods?

Thanks H-T!

all the aftermarket pistons have big enough valve reliefs. its just up to you to pick what compression you want.
