turbo pistons high or low compression????

[konohagakure1up]

witch one is good to use with a turbo charger d16y8 high or low compression

 

[JCCLARK]

Lower compression.

 

[EG-HATCHIE]

The lower the better with boost. That is true

False.

Lower compression pistons are more forgivable when boosted. They let you run more boost b/c of the lower compression, and if the tune isnt all that great, its more forgiving. Now, with higher compression pistons, the tune has to be 100% perfect. You can still run more boost, but there is less room for error. Most people run low compression for the sake of ease of tuning.

 

[defvayne]

Low CP = Higher Boost
Higher CP = Lower Boost
But both can gain you the same HP output. If done right with proper tune.

they also make hybrid hi/low pistons too

FTW!

FALSE!
Lowering the static compression makes you loose power. Youre loosing power from the start.

Stock?

I was thinking the same thing! lolz

 

[bud6770]

Stock internals and 20lbs of boost, then beat the s**t outta it! see how long it goes lol

 

[got traction]

for a d series motor i suggest the common vitara/eagle rod combo.

speedfactory has a combo...YCP vitara pistons and eagle h beam rods for $ 475!!

Depends on the turbo and tune...

Really? i was joking lol.

sure a stock single could hold 20psi on this (if it could make 20psi)

but a stock singlecam would not hold 20psi on this

HAHAHA. Holy s**t, Never knew there were turbos that small. LOL. maybe I should look for one and put it on my lawn mower O_O

This.

 

[Szady]

Is that a motorcycle turbo?

 

[afoss]

i would run 9:1 comp all forged internals. Then just run 30psi all day

This means absolutly nothing. Please dont give out bad advice.

 

[Fastfiveo2]

I have a JDM B16A with YCP CTR pistons. Is my compression too high to boost? If I can boost it, is there anywhere in GA that can do the proper tune?

 

[alstonfered]

Hello,
I agree.Lower Compression is good.You can run more boost, but there is less room for error. Lower compression is used for easy tuning.
