B17 Pistons in a b18a would it be safe

I was wondering about installing b17 pistons in my b18a. Maybe in the future purchase a B16 VTEC head. Has anyone heard of this setup or built one?

yep, it would yield around 9.7 compression with pr4 head and 10.1 with pr3

why do you want such a low compression? if you are staying NA you can go higher, at least p73's, pr3's, p30's
