hondacivicnut hondacivicnut Poster Registered: 07/08/04 Posts: 221 Loc: England	This may be a stupid n00b question but I've just had an email from my piston supplier saying that I can only get 11.5:1 CP pistons for my Integra.I have looked on CP's online catalogue and it shows the lower compression ratios on the B18C1 columns.I was under the impression that B18C1 B18C6/5 pistons and rods were interchangable between blocks??? Am I correct on this?? I've googled and the bore/stroke/rod length seem the same.This is becoming a bit of a headache!! Can you guys back me up on this.I don't want to be ordering the wrong parts! I've just tried emailing CP and I keep getting my emails returned saying the email address doesn't exist.That's weird because I emailed them last week and got a reply.Not unless the problem is at their end??

If you want to make your life easier you can shop for larger-bore B16A pistons, or you can use an online compression calculator to find the actual static compression ratio of a C1 piston in a C5: http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/compcalc/compcalc.php _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

hondacivicnut hondacivicnut Poster Registered: 07/08/04 Posts: 221 Loc: England	I have already kinda resolved this with my piston supplier now.I'm going with the 9.8:1 pistons for my Integra.I don't know the piston dome displacement for the CP pistons I'm getting otherwise I could work out the exact compression ratio for my engine.I tried emailing CP but kept getting my emails returned.Maybe it is a problem with their end
