high compression low boost
well i was boosted but blew it up and went all motor ..now regretting my decision
so.. what i have right now
b16 head p&p stock cams ..arp studs..
b18c block with pr3 pistons and ls crank and rods
the rods are shotpenned with arp bolts
s2 im
s2 68mm tb
rc550s
3in exh
s300
so right now my compression is 11.65:1
thinking of going with a small turbo like a 50trim
this is my only car that i have to drive everyday
so with that kind of compression .. i know i need to keep my boost low, was thinking between 4 and 7psi?
also with that bottom end what kind of power would it hold up to? (everyday) 275-300whp?
are my power goals and boost levels about right?
oooor should i put a buddy club 2mm hg on it which would drop it to 10.18:1?

Re: high compression low boost
yea no questions getting it tuned
so 10-12psi on 93 pump at 11.6 would be a good amount for a everyday driver?

A good tuner will know what AFR the car will like.. and the ign as well. Getting opinions on a forum wont do squat, take it to a reputable tuner and trust him.

Re: high compression low boost
Talk about an awesome powerband.... yeah your train of thought sounds good, the biggest key for you is to get incontact with a top notch tuner... jeff evans, tony1... etc. with high compression your going to need to be careful with the fuel you use, as one bad tank of gas could be very bad. Your tuner can compensate a little for this, so again source out a great tuner and take it from there.

Re: high compression low boost
Planning on doing the same on my LSvtec that has pr3 pistons and pro 1 and going with an 18g from my bro's DSM. Going with E85 since the head was redone .005 and block .005. I think that puts it in the 12's compression, hope everything goes well.

Re: high compression low boost
High compression turbo setups are the thing..
All this low compression stuff that requires all this boost is just unreal..
I'd rather have some dick on low/midrange then nothing before the turbo spools..
A 10.5-11.0 CR setup with a mid sized turbo @ 10-15psi would dominate as a daily.
And for the last time, i dunno why everyone keeps saying its in the tune. ITS ALWAYS been in the tune, people just figuring this out?? Tuning was always the key.. period.

Re: high compression low boost
sell the pro1s if you are going with an 18g. that is not going to work well at all.

Re: high compression low boost
I can attest to this my car is fun as hell on only 9psi and it's just a puny b16, my only gripe is running E85 it works but it's kind of a hassle to go outta my way to get it. Thinking of switching back to 93 pump could I get away on pump gas with 11:9:1 CR on low boost? just a stock b16 with ctr replica pistons in it, and itr cams.
I hate ctr pistons.. but thats for another day..
You can get away with that, fine, as long as you're tuner can tune a car lol..

Re: high compression low boost
The compression isn't as much as a concern as the shape of the piston. Just make sure you tune it to where you don't have a lot of heat in the cylinder and you should be good.
