Turbo Guru's help!
I want to turbo my car in the future (DRAG gen 2 kit). I'm learning about turbos through word-of-mouth, turbo magazine, and the net.
Now, I am thinking of rebuilding my engine first because of the high mileage. I want to go with JE Pistons, but I don't know what compression ratio i should go with: 8.5: 1, 9.2:1, or 10.5: 1 ?
I realize that my choice would probably be boost dependant, but what are your thoughts?

Re: Turbo Guru's help! (sando112)
I would opt for the 9.2:1 on the Integras unless you're shooting for crazy boost and crazy hp numbers. 10.5:1 would be too high.. rather have it lower just to prevent detonation. While you're rebuilding your block, get a block guard. They really help the cylinder wall's strength. If you're gonna use stock rods, get them magnafluxed first to check for impurities..then have'em shot-peened.
