Default ITR pistons in b16

ok i've heard that itr pistons would actually lower my compression. so i was wondering if this is true of the jdm pistons or if its only the usdm version that lowers the compression. thanks.

The answer is yes, it "will" lower your compression. A B16 piston has a higher dome than ones found in a B18C5

here's a link that will help others out, it been around for years....

um, you really wouldn;t feel a major difference between pistons, i personally reccomend JDM p30 B16 pistons, but you really wont loose much with ITR pistons
