Well, first decide how often this car is going to be driven. Daily driver? Track only? Weekend cruiser?
Will you have the ability to tune? What kind of fuel will you be using? Stock sleeves?

 

Lluminum pistons are your best bet.

Although, when i called Toda/AKH Trading to find out what they recomended for piston to wall clearance with toda pistons, and they didnt know, i asked them what the exact alloy base of the forgings toda uses was (RR58, 2618, 4032, Mahle 124, etc) to get an idea of where piston to wall clearance should be (taking thermal expansion of each alloy type in mind), they went on to say "I think they are made of 4340 chromoly steel"

 

daily driven, stock sleeves, want high rev... im building my valvetrain with over sized everything maybe Type R cams and cam gears or skunk 2 stage 2...

Theyre great representatives for the brand.

 

Had great success with CP's.

Low thermal expansion = no "piston slap" and tighter piston/wall clearances.

 

What does CP stand for...?

If you dont want to waste your time and all of ours..Then how about you use the damn search button...You will learn a **** ton...Every aftermarket forged piston will do the same damn thing..Its just up to YOU as to which one you would like to use..Its not our decision to make for your motor. Of course, if you want to paypal me 100 bucks i will tell you which pistons i would use in your motor...Good day sir

b16/b17/b18 block = 81mm bore
b20 block = 84mm bore

Seriously man. These are the most basic things about hondas. If you don't even know the bore of your motor, please don't go wrenchin on it.

 

the best are found here: https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch

 

so i can use a 82mm bore as appose to 84mm what my block is, if i were to use different sleeves, or i can only use 84mm and up..?
