A6 pistons in y8?

I know they fit and bump compression when you swap from stock to stock piston. but if I bought d16a6 cp pistons 9:1 and put them in a d16y8 will my compression still be 9:1 or higher? If higher how much higher?

A6 has .5 lower c/r than a Y8, so it stands to reason, that a 9:1 A6 piston in a Y8 would yeild about 8.5:1 in a Y8

I'm going to guess that is incorrect due to the y8 combustion chamber volume being smaller.
Get all the info for the new pistons and Google the zeal d-series calculator.
