so basically it takes alot of tuning to make a higher compression engine turboed but the end result from a higher static compression ratio is worth it.

on an n/a engine, would you feel a huge difference from compression ratios like 8.5:1 compared to 10.5:1?

It depends a lot on the turbo, also. With higher compression you can usually get away with a slightly larger unit at equivalent lag. Thereby increasing the potential output substantially. But yes, tuning becomes all that more important.

Difference between 8.5:1 and 10.5:1? I could tell a signifigant difference on my single cam. Went from 8.5:1 f/i to 10.8:1 n/a and the n/a set-up was more responsive on the low end. The larger the displacement, the less noticable though.

I tuned a stock S2000 (11:1 comp) witha Vortech charger runing 9.5 psi.

Smaller pulley on now, re-tuning 'new' boost. ~10.5-11 psi

It can be done, but you have to 'creep' up on the tune.
Start fat and soft thne lean it out a little at a time and bring some timing in.
You don't need much timing on 11:1.

It can be done, you better be on top of your tuning game.

The highest we run is ~10.5:1 and that's setup for 25-35lbs. of boost... For street I definately wouldn't go any higher than that as you'll already need to run race gas everywhere... On all of our street turbo cars so far they all run 9.0:1 with Brian running the most boost right now at ~23lbs. (22.6 to be exact)... He made 536whp, 340wtq, and ran an 11.11@132 spinning the **** out of his MT 24.5x9x13 slicks... He's got his 26x8.5x15 slicks but he needs a B16 tranny before we run them... Even with the GSR tranny it wouldn't get boost in 4th as the "artificial gearing" is just too long... What are all you guys running with 26 inch and bigger slicks? B16+4.785 FD? That's one thing I thought of but i just don't have enough experience to really know... Not to get off track some crazy **** we just heard is one of our friend's just got done with his full race car... It's running 13.5:1 and is setup for 22-28lbs of boost... All of us really don't know how it's gonna work... We don't want it to pop first time out as he has lotz and lotz of money into it but that's a **** load of compression... Oh well, we'll see... Peace

My friend's stock sleeved B18C running JE 9.0:1 slugs, T3/T04E, Eagle Rods, Portflow P72 cylinder head, Hondata, etc. is making 362whp on 12lbs... His best is an 11.6@121 in his full interior EJ6 on MT 24.5x9x13 slicks... Like I said Brian's car which basically the same as the first one only with a GE sleeved to a 1.98L block makes 536whp on 22.6lbs... Duc's 1.98L B18C is the same as Brian's except his block is o-ringed with Crower 4340's and his EM is a lil crazier... It's also running 9.0:1 and his Precision SC67 just came back in so we're looking for ~650whp+ probably on the bottle too
