I was just wondering what the compression ratio would be of these pistons in a B17 i am looking into getting a B17 for my hatch and im on kind of a budget. I did search but it came up to 12:4 and they were debating what it would be. I am hoping that it will be under 12:1 for how much i drive. Any input will be appreciated.

11.36:1

well, thats impossible. the compression ratio in a b16 with ctr's is higher than that. how do you figure that the compression would be lower in a b17 when the stroke is bigger than a b16's stroke.

it will be around 12.19-12.2, which is too high for the street imo, unless you do some serious tuning.

Went to c-speed. I just punched in the numbers without thinking. He is correct, they are at least 12:1
