Would this type of compression ratio for daily driving suck? Because i'm thinking about buying Vitara pistons

Silverhatch

i would go with like 9.1 or 9.3.1 ...I havennet heard of them pistons before...what are your horsepower goals ?

i think he means suzuki vitara pistons... there was a post on here about them ealrier

Ya they are those motorcycle pistons. I'd say go for it.

As of right now my goal is around 200whp. I just want to be in the low 14's in street trim

No, drives fine on my friends crx (a6 block z6 head, 8.5:1 compression). 205whp on 6 psi. He does mid 13's at 103ish mph...

stock pistons will do fine with a good tune

If anyone knows how much power 8.5:1 pistons on an otherwise completely stock Z6 make enlighten me please. I'll also be getting these but the turbo will come later.

Anyone?

not 100% sure but I would say you'll lose about 10-20 whp and maybe lil more torque. You could just buy a spare block, and rebuild it completely (new sleeves) everything else.It wouldn't even have to be a z6..since everything (except for the casing) would be brand new.....

Ew, more loss than I was expecting. I may just stick with the B7 until I piece together the turbo kit.

that was just a guess dude. call a shop to be sure

if you put those pistons in a z6 won't it be more like 8:1 compression? i was thinking of putting some of those pistons in my z6 and turning up the boost to about 15 psi and see how it runs. anyone on here know how that would be as a daily driver. the turbo would be a greddy turbo kit, 15g that i already have on the car.

Im going to run that setup. Im going to get the block decked a bit and run a y8 gasket to try and get the compression up a wee bit. The 15g's are good for 260hp apparently so id like to try and max it out.

Im just still trying to figure out how to make ls rods work.

A Suzuki Vitara isn't a motorcycle.

Ya your right. I never really checked up on it till now. That's just what someone told me. I'm actually thinking about running this now.
