B18 piston upgrades
Hi
i'm in a bit of a mess at the moment, my heads spinning with ideas that i don't know will work or not
idealy i'd like to get the B18 Type R bottom end, but in the UK they're like rocking horse s**t to get hold of, no breakers yards will split engine & i can't afford to buy complete unit
If i get a B18 from a Civic/GSR, , are there high compression pistons available, i havn't been able to find much listed, everything is listed for the Type R version. TBH i don't know a great deal about the diffs between the B18 family
Could i buy a B18 Civic/GSR block, then buy a set of JDM Integra Type R pistons? what about the rods?
In fact, would i be able to use the JDM EK9 Type R oversized pistons that i've got in my B16 block?
Thanks
Craig
