hey guys my b16 has somewhat low compression in one of the cylinders,, was rougly 180, 150, 190, 190 something like that.

Anyways im looking for stock pistons and rings 1 size bigger so can hone the block so its perfectly round,, having problems finding these pistons all ive seen so far is type r ones or CTR. Cannot find ones with exact same CR.

Anyone know where i can get stock pistons,, or know what there called for 1st gen, p30 or pr3?? thanks guys.. Im looking to rebuild my motor to stock- but i dont want to buy another one,, any help would be appreciated,, thanks..

well you could buy them from honda, or nippon racing or topline.

i don't know too many people that use cast pistons with boost.
But nippon are decent pistons for a n/a budget(ish) build.
If you are going to spend the money and time building this, get forged pistons, you can still use the stock rods, but get a little lower compression. It won't cost too much more than getting a set of OEMs and it would be a stronger rebuild.

i'd just use ARP rod bolts and maybe shot-peen the rods.
