yeah...i meant that i needed pistons to fit an engine bored .020 over, and its going to be an N/A engine, cuz i dont think i should put a turbo on it cuz they are too expensive... so i need some pistons that will fit a 1.8 bored .020....and im goin to sell my new (in-the-box) type r pistons

I don't know why you would spend all that money on forged internals to be N/A, unless you were going to get some real lightweight titanium rods and real high comp pistons.

I'd run CP's or wiseco's instead of SRP. From a quality standpoint I feel they are a much better piston than SRP. Both CP's and wiseco's run a tigheter piston to wall so you will also get less piston slap on cold start.

The SRP's can run a tighter cylinder wall because they are made of 4032 alloy with a higher silicon content. I'm pretty sure Wiseco and CP both use 2618 alloy which has a lower silicon content and higher expansion rate which requires looser tolerances. From a quality standpoint the CP's aren't that much better than the SRP's, the valve reliefs aren't as thick as they could be. The 2618 alloy does make the Wiseco and CP about 15-17% stronger than the SRPs though, but unless you have a really high hp build, it's nothing to worry about.

Those are press fit pistons so just skip the Eagle rods if you go that route. Also ctr and itr pistons go on rods that are narrower than b18b, b16s so the piston or rod has to be worked for clearance on the small end. If not mistaken, it's about a milimeter on both sides that has to come off. Machine shop should be able to take care of it.
