Default is this safe??? head question

on my 2000 gs-r i have a port and polished head, 3 angle valve job, and shaved 30 thou, itr cams, aem cam gears... would this head be alright for turbo or is the compression to high? should i keep this head or get a civic si head to lower the compression... what psi could i run with the gs-r head with a stock block? and what psi could i run with a civic si head with a stock block?

i am selling the gs-r head or trade for a stock gs-r head and cash or a b16a head and cash...

your CR is too high, going with a B16a head will drop your compression into the 9.5:1 area, which is pretty good for boost. I'd swap heads if I were you.

or drop your compression and do your bottom end with crower/je's..8.5:1 with your head should be fine.

the B16 head has a slightly bigger combustion chamber I think. that would lower the compression.

SiRkid.....that compression on the si is almost all in the pistons.. Putting the bigger combustion area of a Si head with the gsr pistons will yield about 9.6:1 compression.......baaah
