Default piston question

Can i put JDM Type S Prelude Pistons .25 oversized, in my f22a1?

its because im getting new pistons, but i dont want to replace them with the oem ones, again, i want something else, bigger for now at least.

can i put oversized type s, pistons? or do i have to find some f22a1 oversized pistons?

also, what exactly do i have to buy for the f22a1, to bore the pistons?

new pistons, rings, and rods?

Your realy wasting your time and money trying to modify an F22A1. As far as boring, you bore the cylinder, not the piston and that's the type of job a machine shop does not DIY thing. For what you are gonna spend you will gain incomparibly more power from a swap probably for not much more than what you want to do now.

Get a better engine first. H series.

Breakdown
Machine work to frankenstein the block to fit the pistons
$300 (with a highchance that the pistons wont work anyway)
New Type-S pistons ~$70 x 4?
New rods that hopefully work $300
new Gaskets and seals ~$200
Claying the engine to make sure nothing bumps ~$200
Bigger injectors to make up for the new higher compression ~$200
Shit that will show up and cause problems that you can not forsee ~$500

= Stock H22 Long block with Ecu
