Default Lowering the compression on an h22

Ok heres everthing- 2000 h22 motor (stock), T3 turbo from the rx7 (owner doesn't know the years rx7) intercooler small (don't know the specs very very small, half the size of the wrx's) v-afc2 e-manage and v-tec controller, 450cc injectors (whats a good fuel pump to go with them?)
The h22's compression is kinda high at 10:1CR .. thicker headgasket huh? inline pro or cometic any good? And is there an easy way to get the h22's compression lower for about 8-15 psi? With 10:1 a safe psi 6-8? Lastly should he even installe a boost controller to run higher psi only when needed or should he just wait to get his compression lower?

You need to search more, especially in regard to H22. I'm not tryting to be a dick, but to answer you thoroughly would require a dissertation.

FYI, No RX7 got a T3, they came equipped with Hitachi turbos that had turbines designed especially for pulsed flow.

With stock internals, stay with 8psi and no more if this is your daily driver. Prelude ringlands are weak and will go sooner or later. Some guys have gotten away with more boost, but the motors have been tuned to a fine tee.

Lowering your compression can be done through a headgasket but will not allow you to run 15psi safely on a stock block H series motor day after day after day. If you want to run 15 psi, you'll need pistons, sleeves, and rods.

You will need better overall setup you know ??? cause your management was in fault, intercooler, well everything.....

To go find stage up you need an overall setup not just lower compression ....

And I would say go with stock internal with your setup with good tuning ....

You need to a wideband certainly more than to go lower compression .....

Sorry for my english writing

The guy installing everything is going to dyno tuning it to get the best results. hope thats best results for the motor not just best HP results.

you could always use stock H23 pistons... I wouldn'y trust them for over 10psi though. At least with them you will get a nice drop in CR and you wont have to sleeve.
