i'm interested in getting turbo but i'm not sure how high is to high for compression. i have ls vtec with 11.5:1 srp pistons and eagle rods , type r oil and water pump. am i able to boost if so how much?

 

no... w/ forged internals you can boost the hell out of it. just tune it.

now i'll get back to my thread, which was created 1 minute earlier than yours.

 

i would go over 6-7 psi

 

throw a headgasket on to lower comp.

 

Detonation will be a problem on that high of compression.

 

what headgasket would work

cometic turbo head gasket (should lower your compression to about 10.9:1)

 

that's not bad what turbo setup would work best with my setup?

 

Are you trying to run on pump gas? If not just get some ERC and you should be good up to one bar.

 

get a inline pro headgasket and it will drop it to 10.5:1 much safer on pump gas and still make good power

 

yes i will be using pump gas. just not sure what size turbo i should get. this is going to be my first turbo project. so..
