B16 A2 what compression pistons for Turbo

[b16_beast]

I have a b16 A2 and i swaped it into my 95 civic, I have the whole msd ignition system the entire AEM fuel setup, unorthadox pullies set, Aem cam gears.. I was wondering i also have a t-4 garret turbocharger hooked up to it, and i am gonna get a crower stroker kit for it but i need to know what compression of pistons i need to run high boost and still have the car be reliable.. (i have turbo cam shafts coming in to) and after all this what do you guys think i could be running in the 1/4 mile. Please let me know what pistons in need, I have been calling everywhere and looking it up on the internet and i am getting the impression that i need to get 9:1 pistons, please reply fast i am ordering it on monday.... Thanks

9:1 is good but you can go higher if you have the tuning capabilities or a good shop to tune it for you. 9.5:1 is good also. i would just stay under ten:1

I would have to agree; production cars that come out of the factory supercharged or turbocharged usually have a CP of around 8.5:1 through 9.1:1. But if you arent planning on running ridiculous amounts of boost, then you can stick anywhere in the 9.x:1 range.

What about if i wanted to run over 20 pounds of boost what compression would i go for now... and where could i get a shop to do great tunning for me????

Hold on beast, that sounds like some serious power you want to be throwing down; at the boost level you will need (99.4% probability) to get the block resleeved, some heavy duty rods, and pistons in the 8.x:1 range. Also look into investing into an intercooler and valve train components. The shop depends on what area you live in.

Here, this should help you out a little too. Searching 20 boost found me this - B18C Boost and Stroke

Where the fuck do you people come up with these numbers? I swear to god, if I read one more "dude I want to run 20psi on my B16A what cr should I be at" threads, I am going to fucking puke.

[DeleriousZ]

i'm going to have to agree with jcrx... 20 psi is a hell of a lot of boost... and that's some serious internal work.. i hope you have a lot of time on your hands..

alright listen if i get 8:1 then, and i am getting the stroker kit forged pistons rods rings and crank, and i just bought the turboed cams, i got the cam gears pulley's fuel rail, 35 pound venom injectors, fuel regulator, msd ignition box and all that good shit then should i be alright??????????????

[supraracing31]

all that good stuff i just said i mean will it be good to run 20 psi.... and sorry this is b16_beast just on my second account.....??????????

[dr_latino999]

In theory, now just find yourself a good tuner to set that up for pump gas.

This kid is a fucktard, talking about he has this shit in one thread, and going to get it in another asking questions about pistons, and then saying he has said pistons to someone else. what a dipshit.

even if this guy wasn't a fucktard, he still should've used the search button.

[DeleriousZ]
