eagle rods work great, ctr pistons yield good compression, but for something a little stronger, get a set of JE or arias.

Ctr pistons are great for going all motor and the stock b16 rods are fine too. No need to waste the money on those.

.25 refers to the oversize bore 81.25mm...these are the replacement for factory pistons when you have passed the acceptable piston to cylinder wall clearance...These are Factory Honda Issue and will allow you to hone or bore out the stock cylinder sleeve to this size rather than having to resleeve the block...The rings you will need for these pistons are oversized 81.25mm...

If you want a fresh surface for the piston rings to seat to, you will want oversize pistons...The CTR Pistons are excellent in a B16a block using stock size connecting rods...If you use Forged pistons and want an alternative to Crower and Eagle Rods, look at REV Valves Connecting Rods...They offer a Rod that is better than Eagle for about $200 less than Crower Billet Steel...Call (954) 772-6060, ask for Ralph and he'll take care of you...Mention that I reffered you and he will give you discounts...They also have awesome valves that use a flat face for greater strength and increased compression...

Good luck and build it right...Take your time and blueprint the block...
