I am wanting to lower the CR for my mini-me swap because i will be running boost. What Pistons,Rods, Ect. can i use from other Hondas/Acuras to do this?

 

just buy a thicker head gasket

 

Don't. Just run a little less boost. Engines die because of detonation or too much power, not because you run 9psi instead of 8psi.

What can a stock D handle, 225whp? Just get some good engine management and tune for that power level. Less boost and more compression will give you better performance out of the same whp.

 

My A6/Z6 minime loves 10psi

this is true

 

p28 pistons lower compression ratio.

 

Are there any internal mdoifications to your mini-me setup? And what all is done to your engine setup. I have a turboedit chip that allows me to run 10psi but i wanted to lower CR to be on the safe side. Thanks For all the input

 

I'm using the metal hg.. so a bit higher comp but its not tooo bad. Stock head and block. Don't fear the compression.. just make sure u tune it before you run too much boost. start @ 5-6 and get it tuned later for 10. No chip will automatically make ur car ready for 10psi, thats silly.
