newkidwithsol Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The lower compression you go the less power right? Im asking this because I dont konw and not because Im being ignorant. Why wouldnt you want higher compression? For a turbo what is the ideal compression that I would want? I know everyone is saying 9.5.... but if im gonna be spending that much money Im gonna get the best that I can... Are differant engines picky with their compressions? I guess what im trying to say is....... would my B18B1 prefer a differant compression then a d16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Pretty much .. low compression is the way to go. Doesn't matter what engine, as long as it's not diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkidwithsol Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thats what i've been hearing.. could you maybe explain this to me a little.... like what the low compression does with the turbo inside the engine.... but my question still is if the higher compression makes more hp then why would I get low compression pistons? I'm not disagreeing with anyone I am getting low compression, just I'm trying to further my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 if you want to go N/A all motor then you want high compression. if you want to boost your motor, then you want lower compression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you'll be forcing way too much air inside of those cylinders and generating a looooot more compression than necessary. Thus resulting in breakage of parts.

newkidwithsol Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 O.K. That explains it. Thank all of you! So the forced air will produce the compression that was not present by the pistons. Alright thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 With the type and quantity of questions you've been asking, I'd say have a professional choose the parts for your engine build for you. You're talking about laying out some serious cash for this. Get a build list custom made for what you want for a tiny bit of your total budget and you'll net regret it.

newkidwithsol Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 How are SRP pistons? In the description they provide it says limited nitrous oxide/forced induction use on low compression pistons.... They are also 9:2:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkidwithsol Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 When I would get my engine block sleeves will it change the size of anything or will it all be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 you can get the motor sleeved to factory bore or over sized (bored) .020, .030, .040 etc. edit: wow i fell back to bikes and wheelers for a second. anyway you can still punch the sleeves out if you need to make them bigger.

Kastigir Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I linked you a set of CP 9.0 CR pistons in your other thread. Ideally that's what you would want for boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
