civic type r pistons in ls b18a
hey guys, hoping on building an all motor b18a ls for my crx. the head is already built, just wanted to get some high compression. was wondering if i would have any problems putting in b16b civic type r pistons with a ls head. thanks

I would go with some ITR or second Gen B16 pistons since they are a little lower for street driving. Plus if you add a Vtec head or need to shave the head in the future the CTR pistons will have a really high cpr. But it all depends on what kind of gas and tunning, bigger cams would like the high cpr with the Ctr's pistons. just my oppinion though.
