Default ls\vtec internals

Im new to b series and I plan on atempting to build a boosted ls\vtec motor to swap into my 92 cx eg using a b18a block and stock crank. My question is regarding the following- can I use b18c pistons and rods or are they ls specific and wich manufactures would be the best for this particular build.

If you are staying with OEM honda internals, you will need to keep the LS rods due to the length and use whatever pistons you want within reason.

If you are going aftermarket though, Buy LS forged rods and whatever random pistons you want IE JE, Wiseco, SRP, and so on.

Either way, you need LS length rods due to the 89mm stroke via 87.2mm for the GSR.
