More like a 9.0:1 CR. And I don't think the GSR pistons will bolt directly onto the B16A.

GSR pistons will fit fine in B16a.. just how much CR will it drop to?

almost a full point, so you''ll prolly yield about 8.8 - 9.0 :1

they will fit just fine and the compression ratio is 8:8:1. those are the same pistons i used in my b16 when i had a b16 block in my car.

Didn't you think they were too low of compression to go with? I say 9.8 or 9.5 would be good for street and track... with 8.8 its way too sluggish for daily driving!
