assuming you're looking to up compression in a D15B? Look at D16A6 pistons or other older D16 pistons. They had a higher comp. height and will increase compression. They're cheaper also, Honda wants like $80 a piece for the GX pistons...

I went down that road before and decided for the amount it costs versus the gain, I may as well go B series. Go total out a decent header, pistons, cams, valve train and look at a B20 swap...

I know the P08 pistons in the D15B and the PMS pistons in the GX are shorter in height. Are D16A6 pistons the same? I know you can't use like D16Z6 pistons in a D15B because of this. Not sure on the A6 pistons though.
