i just popped in itr pistons into my gsr. im looking to build a low boost set up.. can itr pistons handle 8lbs.. im using hastings rings and stock gsr rodds bushed to fit the itr slugs

thanks

btw i do see that theres a jrsc for the c5 that runs 8 lbs.. im just curious on opinions due to the c1 block and itr pistons.. i know my cr will be around 11:01

 

why would you put itr pistons in knowing you want to boost it?

and to answer your question, you could, but you're treading on thin ice.

 

Your going to increase compression from 10:1- 10,8:1 by doing that.

Why dont change to a set of eagle rods and cp pistons.
Its not going to cost you much.

 

i popped in the itr set up because it costed me around 38 bones a slug... timing belt and waterpump were a mere 60 bucks from work.. **** i paid more for the honing and rodds being busherd to fit the new slugs then i did for parts.

i just got this turbo kit cheap and i wanted to run it... not too much boost but like i said around 8 psi. in a gutted eg hatch that will be fine for me. im looking to make around 220-250 whp.
