12:5:1 compression safe on low boost
I have a b20 vtec with 12:5:1 cp pistons eagle rods ls crank rev valve train and pro 2 cams on e85 ..... I was wondering if i could get away with running a 60-1 on wastegate 8psi or so and it be safe and reliable an input is welcomed
The pro 2 cams are overkill for only 8psi. That compression is pretty high so you won't need as much boost. What are you going to tune it on? Fuel pump? injectors? any FPR? Psi isn't the thing to worry about, it's horse power. What is your PTW clearance? Talk about your build more
Agreed, the cams will cost you power. I am def interested to see how much power you make with that compression. If you were runing gasoline Id say it was not safe but I think you'll be fine on E85.

What turbo are you planning to use to make this work? Even at sub 10psi boost pressures, if the turbo isn't efficient with that range of boost given your higher compression, it really won't help things. You'll just be spinning a big turbo, and can't use it.

.50 trim or a 60-1
stick with the .50
the 60 isnt a good choice for the range. IMHO
Make sure you have a great tuner as well! Hope the sleeves hold up.
