Will B16A1 Pistons fit in B17A1?

I just got a 93 Integra GSR with the b17a1. Since Im under the impression that the b17 is just a stroked b16 would b16a pistons work properly? Reason being is that I cannot find any good 12:1 pistons made specifly for the b17a1.

yes they will fit. you'll have ~10.73:1 compression using standard bore pistons. The p30's are also a great choice for the b17a, and will yeild ~10.94:1 with standard bore and ~11:1 with standard oversize. Neither will need modification to fit. However gsr, itr and ctr pistons will require that you modifiy your stock rods in order for them to fit.
