Ok i'm building a b18b block. I'm stuck on what pistons to get. I plan on boring it out to a 2.0 liter. And i plan on getting high compression pistons. But i don't know which to get. I was thinking civic type-r pistons but I heard those aren't good for daily driving. What would you recommend?

 

cp pistons is a very good company. but are you boaring it out on stock sleeves or are you sleeving the block?

 

try something non oem honda if your gonna bore it to a 2.0...something forged..

 

yea i plan on sleeving it. I'm still working on the list of parts i would need.

 

now's a good as time as any to learn you cant use oem pistons with an 84-85mm bore

 

i like the cp's also. i have the x-forged lightweight ones. the only problem with using them for your build is that if you are going to bore it that much, you will have to have them custom made for you. they are nice and light though. mine are 81.50mm 12.5:1cr, and they are lighter than a 9.0:1cr piston.

how much did you pay? they make custom h/f series applications as well i suppose?

 

i would assume. i think they will make anything you want. i didnt have to buy custom made pistons. i got lucky since the ones i needed happened to be one of their "shelf" pistons. i paid $540 for them, and i dont remember how much more it is to have them custom build you a set. i think it tells you on their site.

 

cool...sounds good, once i get to that point i will see all my options/companies
