Default b18 pistons in a b16???

this may be a dumb question but i need to know if b18 pistons will fit in a b16 block because im planning on going all motor i dont want to use ctr pistons because of their high compression so i want to use itr pistons and if this is possible but wasnt able to get itr pistons would i be better off with b16 or gsr pistons

yes they fit, but ITR pistons will actually yeild a lower compression ratio than a B16A piston, because of the shorter stroke on the B16.
