Which Compression is the best Compression
I was going to build a Hybrid Civic but me being 6'2" I scapped that idea in favor of a Tubro H22A 90-93 Accord. Anyways my quesion is this I plan to use JE Pistons but I am curious on what compression to get 9.0:1 or 10.0:1

i'd go somewhere between 8-9:1 -- leaning more towards the 8 side, especially if you're gonna be pushing crazy boost

8.8 JE piston, Eagle Rod!
I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to mention this setup

8:1 is extremely low ... especially for a 1.8 liter engine. I even think 9:1 is low. I'm shooting for 9.8:1 with my engine.

Re: Which Compression is the best Compression (Prelude Vtec 23)
with a lower compression ratio you get a larger tuning window which means your tuning doesn't have to be as well done and you gain the ability to run higher boost. with a higher compression ratio the turbo will spool faster and you don't have to run as much boost to get the same power.

9.0:1 will allow a quicker spool time than lower CR's. It will provide acceptable low end tq (pfft ) and accept med to high boost pressures.
At 8.0:1, you can run crazy boost pressures, allowing overall higher Hp if your turbo can keep up and you have the fuel/spark to do it. But at 8.0:1, the car will be a pig on the street unless you are in boost.

Re: Which Compression is the best Compression (X2BOARD)
what's wrong with yall?! why are yall scared to go high compression? im personally going atleast 10.1:1 to create alot more power and quicker spool time. its proven fact that high compression and turbo go well together. im sure SERIOUS racers here will back me up, forget low compression and turbo lag, pull up to a high compressioned turbo car and you will get smoked.
