Default Highest Compression

I've done the search but came up empty.

What is the highest compression you can run on 91 octane gasoline?

Its all about tuning and how much ignition advance you run. Ill just say you if you want to be safe running high compression, go with a standalone like Hondata. Just my $.02

My goal is 190 - 200 whp,

I'm getting Toda Bs, but to get more out of them I should bump up my compression. I plan to use a chipped/ re-programmed ecu.

All I can get around here is 91 octane.

Any recommendations.

I would say a 12:1 ratio would be safe with an reprogrammed ecu or go with a stand alone ecu computer.[

Tuning, Tuning, Tuning! I know someone running 12.5:1 compression on 91 octane, with Hondata... And he has yet to have any problems with his motor.. and this is going on 4 months.

How are you planning to raise the compression ratio?

I was planning on getting JDM ITR pistons, and hope that it will increase my compression enough to make better use of the spec Bs'
