Hey guys, I have a 93 dx hatch with an ls rebuilt with pr3s (~11.3:1 cr) and I've decided I am going to boost it. It won't be my first turbo honda, so I do have a clue. But I'm trying to think of how to go about my high compression.

I'm looking at running a t3/t04e at only 7-8psi....for the time being.

First of all, the car IS NOT daily driven. It doesn't have to be, I only drive it for fun.

I'm thinking it would be wise to lower the cr at least a little bit, but I'm not changing internals. Advice would be great. As in recommendation for a hg etc? Thanks.

Yes, I know tuning will be everything.

I've heard good things about torco race fuel concentrate. Would you guys recommend I run something like this?

And spark plugs. Do you think 2 steps colder will suffice? Cause I know high cr with boost will create a lot of heat, I'm guessing 3 steps is overkill, but figured I'd ask.

Would a sheet metal im help out? I've heard of them dropping iat's a decent amount.

Any other input or advice is greatly appreciated, really.

But NO, I'm not changing internals/motor, and YES I AM boosting it, so please nobody try to talk me out of it.


Thanks!!

If it's not a daily driver go get a drum of C16 and mix in some race gas to be safe.

buy a thicker head gasket cometic makes them up to .160 thick that will put you around 9to1
its not the right way but it will work
