hey there thank you for the reply i have a B16A motor. But want to put pistons in a B18B block with B16A head, CTR cams, branch and 57mm exhaust. Looking for CR anywhere between 11.5 and 12and don't want to use to many parts that are not OEM trying for a good powered honda built engine doesn't have to be the quickest thing around just a GOLF killer. It is just the 2.0l 16v golf 1 full engine work done with side drafts that is working me badly.Going to use the car everyday.
So you want a reliable engine.
The oem B16B pistons are 81 mm in size, in a B16A you'll get 11.1 compression with this setup (could be a little less or more). I had that setup in a first generation B16A with skunk 2 stage 1 camshafts, and skunk2 valvetrain, it was a great setup, as the car was my daily drive also.
The standard size (81mm) ek9 piston honda part number is:
13010-PCT-000
You can also get the 81.25 mm piston version, but you should ask your tuner if he is able to install this pistons in a B16A block without any problems.
Here is a video of my old B16A civic with ek9 civic type r pistons, and skunk2 stage 1 camshafts:

Hope this helps..
