Re: Type R Pistons Authenticity (HondasBl0w)
yep as was stated above, they have p73 (with some 0's behind it) stamped on the piston top. also there may be a slight difference in looks since the JDM has a bit higher dome than the USDM. also the ITR pistons have the skirts coated from the factory, whereas the p30 (B16), p72 (B18C1) and p61 (i think that's the code for the B17A) don't. but the CTR pistons also have the coating like the ITR pistons.
