Is the 2nd gen b16 the only motor that used the PR3 pistons?
OR did the 1st gen b16 also use the PR3 pistons. Im looking at buying a set of pistons for my 99 b16a2 from this guy, and the pistons are stamped PR3. He's unsure of the age/milage, but the condition is good. I'm just wondering if they came from a 1st gen, in which case i probably wouldn't want.
Thanks
Thanks

dont bother buying another set of b16 pistons, you minus well get ITR's or CTr's you'll be happy with the power(i should say compression)...

then maybe you should run some ls pistons to lower the compression even further and want to stay on a budget
