No, it wasn't, but the original poster stated "gasoline engine", not "Honda engine".

Re: Lowest Compression (Padawan)
Now, that I did not know...let me rephrase then:
My main concern is how low of a CR before a honda/acura engine does not turn? Also, is that 2:1 engine still being used today or could any engine today use something that low?

My Triumph came from the factory with 7:1 compression, and it ran fine. I don't see why a Honda engine wouldn't run at that low, or a lower ratio, but you'll certainly be making less tham optimal power that way, and might not be able to make use of the entire power band. Cam profiles and rpm range are chosen with an engine's compression ratio in mind.
But seriously, there's no reason to use less than 9:1 these days. Why was this question asked?

Re: Lowest Compression (TunerN00b)
Mainly because I was trying to prove and have some people realize that anything under 9:1 is overkill and not that useful......ESPECIALLY for only 400whp. 400whp is childs play now days.
