I am planning on building a street setup for my hatch, nothin crazy, but just fun to drive. Would it be a waste of time and money to rebuild the engine with new bearings and rings and whatnot and then boost it to 10psi.

Or should I cough up the money for turbo panda's b16-toyota forged piston kit with ring. Plus if I do this last setup how high could the greddy turbo boost?

And last but not least, how much HP is lost for a 9:1 compression ratio compared to the stock d16 CR
Thanks in advanced

 

NE1?

 

don't rebuild it...waste of money when you can buy any d16 long block for dirt cheap.

-the supra piston & B16 rods combo is cool, not definly would not spend $400 on them.

you can only boost as much as your tunned up to and the tolerace of the stock sleeves.... stock D16 sleeves normally only see about 13psi and no more.

do more reasearch...seems like your still missing some inportant info.
