Compression of b16a or b18c5 pistons in a b18b?
Ive heard that ITR pistons in a b18b will raise compression to 11.6. Is that correct?
Does anyone know what b16a pistons will raise it to??

No, it is not even close.
The CR of a B18B with a stock head, headgasket and ITR pistons works out to 10.34:1. This is due to the LS's larger combustion chambers.
The B18B has 1.8mm more stroke than a B18C, which would increase compression to 10.8:1 with a B18C5 or B16A head, 11.0:1 with a GS-R head.
USDM B16A pistons should yeild 11.1:1 with an otherwise stock B18B.
