You'll need to find the size to match with the sleeve. I would NOT use B20 OEM pistons.

lol of course im not gonna use oem pistons.. wiseco like 9.5 -1s than a thicker headgasket that will bring compression down to like 9.1-1 or 9-1 than go like 25-30psi. so another question.. would you all recommend goin 84mm bore with a thinner wall or 81mm with a thicker wall?? its steadily gonna be under boost.. so im kinda thinkin 81mm with thicker walls jus to be on tha safe side ya know.. i dunno i cant make up my mind someone help lol

Why use a thicker head gasket to lower ur compression?? Just buy the pistons at the compression you wana run. Plus if the block is sleeved you should be just fine with the 84mm bore.
