no, b16b (ctr) pistons are 81.5mm b20 pistons are 84....

go with b20 + turbo, more reliable and less headache to piece it together.

Yeah but the headache comes back 6 months later when you have a blown motor

If you go b20 turbo you better make sure you do it flawlessly, and make sure the sleeves are set... otherwise your only gonna get 500 miles out of it

Bit of advice. If you wanna do a B20/VTEC right it's damn expensive. I got into the project and didn't realize how much it was going to cost to do it right. You don't want to drop a few grand into an engine to have it blow up, but in order to make last you have to drop a few grand more into it.

Engine:
- JDM B20(z) Block bored .4 over
- Balanced crank
- USDM B18c1 Head
- Pocket port
- All gaskets replaced with OEM Honda gaskets during build-up
- JE Pistons (Approximately 11:1 compression)
- Eagle H Beam Rods w/ ARP Rod Bolts
- Block Guard
- ARP head studs
- STR valve seal
- Oil line kit
- Unorthodox Racing lightened crank pulley
- Unorthodox Racing lightened power steering pulley
- Skunk2 Intake Manifold
- STR throttle body
- AEM Cold Air Intake (Type R Size)
- AEM Fuel Rail
- AEM Fuel pressure regulator
- RC engineering 280cc injectors
- DC Sports stainless steel 4-2-1 header
- Greddy Evo cat-back exhaust
- Denso Iridium spark plugs
- Magnacor spark plug wire
