Default Raising Compression on a B18A

OK it's time to get serious with my integra, i wanna go the all motor and streetable route. Is there any one here has switched the stock b18a pistons for the b16a pistons?? i know by swapping out b18c pistons for b16a pistons raises the compression about 3/4 of a point so why wouldnt it work with the b18a motors?? I really want a WHOLE LOT MORE compression, without shaving the head. Any ideas?

get CTR pistons or B16. if you want ALOT of compression you will have to get aftermarket forged pistions like JE or Endyn.

yeah the b16a pistons does fit, because they all are 81mm pistons and it does work with your LS rods. well if you want high compression go with the b16a pistons or others. i can't really tell you what pistons to go with because you're running an LS head and i don't know much about it, if is a vtec head than it'll be a different story.
let me know if i can help
