Default all motor buildup piston question

what do you think, Pr3 pistons or the ctr pistons for my b18c n/a buildup? I will be running on 91 octane and was thinking of what would be more suitable, i know lots of people use the ctr's but the pr3s also raise the compresion to a decent amout also.

if you want to be conservative get the JDM P30 pistons... it will yield a higher compression ratio than the PR3 but lower than CTR

I'd personally go with CTR overbore, but make sure you have a hondata and know what you are doing!

would the ctr overbored pistons yield a lower compression ratio or is it the same as a standard bore?

I thought CTRs in a b18c1 with cams causes a valve/piston clearance issue......I wanted to go with CTRs, but wasn't sure if my sk2 stage 2s would cause this issue...

If he isn't planning on ever doing cams, ignore this

I'd go with something that you could tune yourself with a VAFC unless you have money set aside to pay someone to tune it.
