look on the head... It should have the year stamped in it.

If it is infact OBD1, then you will need a P75 ECU or a you can chip your current ECU and use a P75 map.

I am looking to go all motor but maybe later in the long run, boost it, so the p30 pistons should be fine like hybrid said, and when i go to actually boost it swap the pistons out with something else and dealwith it then.

What kind of time frame do you have? If you plan to boost soon, just put the low comp pistons in now and deal with it being sluggish for a while. It won't hurt the engine.

If it's going to be some time, there are GSR, ITR and CTR pistons cheap on eBay and Amazon if you go with the NPR brand. If you'd consider running one of them, send me a private message. I have Hastings 82mm rings, but I want the rings from one of the NPR piston/ring kits.
