wuptido on the b20... yes u can put higher compression on the stockers but it would be a whole hella better and safer and more reliable if u upgrade the rods.. it also depends on how many miles are on the stockers

There aren't any high compression "off the shelf" pistons for the B20's. Your only real option is to use B20Z pistons if you have a B20B block and still your compression is quite low. Your stock rods will have to be modified to allow forged high compression pistons to work with them, it'd be easier and less time consuming to buy some aftermarket rods.

Make up your mind about putting a VTEC head on it before you even start to choose internals.
