Got this good deal on b16a pistons, made by JE. The guy sell them 150$Us used and he stated thei were in great condition, I can go there and take a look. However, I would like to get some opinions from you folks.

1- Would it fit my USDm b18C1, and what Cr would i get ?
2- Is it a good idea if I WILL go turbocharged soon.
3- What should I look at when looking at the piston (they are used)
Thanks

 

Yes they will fit in your engine the bore is the same. However I dont know what the wrist pin placement is on them seeing how the stroke is different in a B18 than a B16. You may have to get new rods as well in order to run them. The valve clearance should be fine as well. If Im not mistaken the B18c1 valves are smaller than the B16. As far as turbo charging with them you are gonna need to know what C/R they have. If they are something like 10 or 11 :1 then no they would not be a good choice for a turbo application. Hope this helps good luck on you decision.
