Low compression Pistons
hey, ive tried searching on this... didnt find anything though.
whatare the lowest compression pistons you have seen for sale and where can i get them? im aiming for 7:1, but around 8:1 would be fine. i have a b18a1 thats being stripped down and built. and this is the only part that im having trouble finding. thanks. |
Re:Low compression Pistons
I think that's a bit too low IMO
You could always just have your existing pistons shaved off the top.. they do that all the time with v8 pistons, called "reconditioned pistons" |

Then I built the same motor with 8.1:1 pistons and i need a lot more boost to go as fast as I did with 9.1:1. Reponse also suffered. Just my $.02 IMO 7.1 is too low. |
Re:Low compression Pistons
i was recommended by my uncle to go with low compression, he said around 7:1. so thats why i was asking. hes been working with cars and ---- forever so i trust his word.
im trying to build a bullet proof turbo motor, so i wanna get forged aftermarket pistons. thanks for the input guys. |
Re:Low compression Pistons
I would assume your uncle is from the old school running lower compression pistons with a roots blower sitting on top.
The guys around here know their ---- man when it comes to a honda, I would stick with something around 9:1 which is great for the boost. ---- Jeff was running like 11.6:1 with his TT LsVtec setup. All about the fuel managment baby. |
Re:Low compression Pistons
with 7:1 its gonna be a major ------- pig down low and is way lower than necessary ::)
|
Re:Low compression Pistons
yeah, he was talking about how the first turbocharged cars had something like 5:1 and all that. thanks for the suggestions.

Re:Low compression Pistons
9.1 is as LOW as I would go on a honda.. My GF has 9.1 pistons in her H22 and the thing is just a ------- dog NA.
I am personally using 10.1 pistons in my built setup. Jeff |
