scared that my stock rings will go soon. I've been looking for some low compression pistons. I have a question. Will lowering compression effect emmissions?

 

Shouldnt Affect emissions, as long as the engine is assembled right, and the rings are set up to factory spec. Could actually reduce emissions, at lower RPM as long as y our fuel is set right as well
I wouldnt worry about it

 

thanks

 

No prob man, just make sure you let the engine builder know that you need it to pass emissions, and you would like the piston ring tolerances to reflect that. And if it is you building it, just follow a fatcory manual to a tee.
Later!
BTW: I have a 95 GSR Turbo, and I am thinking of doing the same, let me know how it comes out. Ive been running 10 psi for 2.55 years, so Im pretty close to rebuilding as well
