Default B16 Mahle pistons - anybody?

Hello! I am looking for some high compresion pistons for my B16A N/A engine. I have found that mahle have the most compresion pistons, but it is intended for B18C1 engine. Does it matter?
Does anybody have some experience with it?

Thank you for your reply!

Just get the correct bore, then do the math to figure the change in compression from their spec to what it will really produce in your motor. You can use the c-speed calculator to get pretty close on the compression ratio change:

Or, you could do something radical like call Mahle and ask them.

Best of luck with your project.
