i think the only difference between the b16a and b17a is the crankshaft the 1.6 being stroked .1L to make 1.7

WRONG!

the crank, rods and pistons are different from a b16. only the block casting is the same.

this is the info i got from the Zeal Autowerks calculator:

Crank Stroke
B16A - 77.40mm
B17A - 81.40mm

Connecting Rod Length
B16A - 134.00mm
B17A - 132.00mm

Piston Dome.
B16A PR3 - 6.03cc
B16A P30 - 6.93cc
B17A P61 - 0.00cc

PR3 pistons can be used on P61 crank and rods in a b16/17 block. this should net a compression ratio of high 10's. if you bore out the cylinders .5mm (which would be a good idea) and take .25mm off the deck. you should hit 11:1.
