Piston Size

I'm booting my B18C soon when it gets out of the body shop. I Have a b18C but its got type-r pistons, cams and its bored out. I want to lower the compression by just puttin stock cams and turbo pistons. I also want to sleeve it. Can anyone tell me what size pistons to get. Its bored .25 so if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. If I sleeve the cylinders how do I subtract the size of the sleeves from the cylinder and piston. Hopefully some of you wil understand what the hell Im talkin about.

Thanks A lot to anyone who can help

i dont think you understand what the hell your talking about. cams dont lower compression, and since you bored it .25, you now need .25 overbore pistons. if you do get it sleeved, you can then have the sleeves bored to pretty much any size within reason, there is no need to subtract anything

I got some low compression cams in my mazda rx-7, it's just the stock motor, but the pistons I used are strong.
