What Pistons and Rods
I was wondering what pistons and rods i should use for my ls/vtec turbo project to keep the compression fairly low for a daily driver?

I use Wiseco & Crower Steel Billetts
About $1100+ for the combo
JE Pistons & Eagle Rods will be cheaper
Deciding exactly what size dish to get depends on whether your block and/or head has been milled and then you can pick a headgasket sized to obtain your desired compression ratio.

read my previous post, had the block been milled and/or the head? When you order pistons it says what pistons will achieve said compression ratio, those #'s are with a stock block, but on an LS/Vtec its a little different, has your head and block been milled/surfaced at all, what VTEC head are you using? I cant just spit a # at you without details

With a stock sized headgasket you will need a piston with about a -9.3 dome to get exactly 9:1, its best just to call a shop on here and tell them what you got and what you are looking for.....
