i have a bone stock jdm type r motor which i will be boosting till i have the funds to do a rebuild (better rods and forged pistons) i have a t3/to4e turbo which the boost will be yeilded at 8 pounds on a chipped itr ecu and fuel upgrades and im worried bout the higher compression pistons that are in the jdm itr does anyone have a similar setup or some advice on where i should go with this setup.

 

1. Use punctiation and paragraphs to make your post readable

2. Many people have gone down this road. You should find plenty of archived advice if you poke around

3. 8lbs should be ok on a stock block as long as you have timing control. Tune conservativly and don't spike the boost.

4. Save up your money. Things will break as you work out the bugs.

5. Save your money, buy my R. Built shortblock running 14lbs safely, many extras

i know a few guys making right at 300 whp on stock jdm itr engines. most have had these setups for over 2 years w/ no problems. get hondata S300 or AEM EMS or something, and some RC Engineering 550cc injectors and you should be set.

and make sure that the person who builds the setup/tunes the car knows what they are doing!

 

a 3mm head gasket will take my compression to roughly 11.01 so that will help bring the compression down a bit for the time being till i decide to take them pistons out and put in 9:1 turbo pistons

wtf did you just say??? a 3mm headgasket will take it down to prolly around 8.5:1/9:1

 

dr poo face how much you asking for your r

 

im selling my turbo r too but i need the money for school and bills, but mine needs a little bit of work.

but yea there are many archived threads on this topic

 

Man I remember when Turbo R's were unheard of and flamed on these boards.
Ahhh how times change. lol

lol yea i remember those days. when was that right around 02-03

"why would you turbo a type r and ruin it!!!"

 

should be OK with proper tuning. That will be the make or break point.

 

http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...c.php this site has everything you need to calculate you specific setup thats where i got the figure 11.01

For some reason that doesn't sound right. With a 3mm head gasket it should be around 8.6:1 to 8.7:1 compression. Though that doesn't sound right either.
