ok, as some people know i got a crx with a b18b1 in it that has a 11.1 compression ration. I want to get rid of the high compression so i can boost it. I was thinking about getting some low compression pistons and leaving the head i have on there now. (shaved 30 thousandths and has mild port and polish) I'm stuck though because a friend said that if i leave the pistons in and put a stock head my compression will be 10.5, and that gsr's and type r motors are higher and get boosted all day.

So, now is where i need some help.

Should I :

1- Leave type r pistons in and get a stock head and get more power from less boost.

or

2-Put stock or lower compression pistons in with the shaved head or stock head and have more reliable car and something i can put lots of boost on.


Thanks,
Jake

option 1.

 

#1!

Simply cause it's easier, and cheaper. LS heads go for next to nothing. Most people throw them out after an LS VTEC swap, which produces a scrap B16 block and a scrap B18A head. Good luck.

lol i got a complete 98 LS head given to me from a shop. had burnt exhaust valves. i was like, ****.

 

Option one! Because then if you decide to go back to N/A you only have to do a little bit of work and still have some rad parts.

I have been given LS heads from 2 different shops. Now I have 5 LS heads sitting around, I used one as a test bed so I only have 4 good ones left. So option one

Exactly, hence why I have used them for test beds and given them away. Too much BS in the shed already.
