you will need:
lower compression pistons and rods.

My question for you is Why would you want do do this?

[97accordvtec]

i heard that you can get a reasonable HP if you do this

and if you do the port and polish <--- is this all true???

Only reason for lowering compression if you will be installing turbo and run it with high boost.
on normally asperated engine, lower compression means lost power.

yup, N/A cars really want higher compression to get more power, but doing so raises the risk of detonation, so you must use higher grade octane gasoline
lowering the compression...pistons, rods, gasket etc....
