ok, Im really looking into the possiblity of getting a turbo very soon. I just had my motor rebuilt, port/polish, ITR pistons, crower dual springs, ti retainers, rebalanced, venom intake manifold, AEM rail, 280cc injectors, ACT clutch, new valves, guides, ect ect.

Anyways Im looking into getting a turbo. What is going to be the deal with my compression. Its around 11:1. Im very worried about this, anyone have any opinions aside from using a hondata?

your boost will be limited. i just burnt up some rings on 8psi, so ill be dropping compression.

 

im not planning on running anything over 6psi. Would this be safe with an ingition and upgraded injectors?

 

more careful tuning will be required. as integrated said, boost will be limited. I would look into cometic headgaskets

 

you could do it without either, although both are always a good idea.

 

Thing is id rather not have the head pulled again if I can avoid it.

 

should have no problems at 6psi, but you wont stay there long. boost really is an addiction. its hard to say no with all that power just a twist of the profec away.........

 

hehe if I know im safe at 6psi I have no desire to blow up my engine, I can handle keeping it there if thats safe.

 

thats what i said if it wasnt for that pesky GS-T on 18psi.

i may be broke, but i beat his a$$

 

LOL

 

i think you will be fie at 6 psi. But like mentioned you will need more careful tuning. But even though you are only running 6 psi you will still make some really good numbers.

Somone, cant remeber who, had an itr with teh drag kit at 6 psi and he was somewhere around 280-300 whp. It was a member on HA.net, Hella Yella it think his name was.

good luck

 

Sounds like you just bought a bunch of parts, you need a plan...

 

exactly. planning is key when building a car

 

Hey javier at jg runs turbo motors at that compression u know its all about the tuning, u want something reliable get a standalone and tune it real good and u will be pulling over 400 to the wheels real safe.

 

high compression... hmmm like everyone says... limited boost potential because of the possibility of blowin your motor.
