EG Turbo Question
I have a 94 Civic SI SOHC Turbo, i got some YCP Pistons (Low compression) With egal rods. i have not put them in. im boosting 8 PSI, my question is... Will i gain or loose HP if i instal these pistons? if i will loose HP what could i do to gain Major HP?

Low compression pistons allow you to run more boost (aka make more power) on a certain grade fuel. If these YCP's are similar to stock (cast pistons) then i wouldn't go absolutely crazy with the power goal because they'll have the same failures as stock, which are the ringlands. There is a trade-off to lower compression. You're going to have slower off-boost acceleration with a lower static compression, but that is combatted by the ability to run more boost in the upper rpms.
