Since I have the opportunity to do some rebuilding on my motor I figure why not try to get a little more power out of my little single cam? So what I'm wondering is, is there OEM honda pistons that can be put in place of my D16Y8 pistons to up the compression? I'm really looking for ones that I won't have to bore the cylinders so I can keep the snappy response I have now, but if needed I will go just a little bit over. I'm also wondering how far I can mill the head to up the compression just a little more? Somebody help me here I need to get my car back ASAP!

hands down, the d16a1(1st gen integra) or DOHC ZC pistons

So the D16A1 pistons are for high compression? What kind of numbers am I looking at here? I'm wanting to mill the head a little bit to up the compression a bit more...I'm looking to go between 10:1 and 11:1, do you know how far I would have to mill the head to reach that ratio?

I have to say that is one bad *** calculator! I do like that the pistons give 13.1:1 compression but thats WAY too high for what I'm going for. I found that using the D16A6 pistons will give me the ratio I'm looking for! Thanks for the help guys!
