The 1st gen Integra pistons will get a 12:1 compression if combined with the right engine. I don't remember which though.

My. That would be quite a mill, wouldn't it. Would you have to strictly run race gas on that or would 93 suffice?
Mod a Z6 head for bigger valves and stick a big cam in it???

One franken-D that I haven't built, but I want to, is a motor with Civic GX pistons. GX was the natural gas version. IIRC the pistons are 13.5:1 CR. They also fit the B18 Rod with no mods, as they had the bigger wrist pin. Conceivably, you can build a 13.5:1 D motor with unmodified OE parts.
I hear those are all kinds of fun to find. A D17 guy was looking into getting a set, but Honda of North America only had three on the continent. And there aren't any Civic GXs in junkyards anywhere that he could find.
Needless to say, he went turbo instead.

In reply to unevolved:
Can you give me a quick run down of the set up you were running in the Howdy car?
