Well what I want to know is will throwing B16b crank, rods & pistons into a JDM "first gen" B16a (obd0) work? What would my compression be - the same as the CTR right?

Compression would be 10.801068956759683 with an OEM 3 layer headgasket
and with a 1 layer headgasket -- 11.454543058505333

 

Hey thanks for the link... im probably looking at a 2 layer, 11.1 : 1 - hmmm

The b16b shorty is basically a destroked b18 meaning the deck height is the same as a b18 so it won't work.

But just the pistons will work right?

 

yeah

 

Those pistons will bump up your compression a little.

 

pistons will work out but like stated above you wont be able to use the crank and rods due to the deck height differences


correct me if im retarded
