lowering the compression
 

i have a b16 (duh) anyway i want to lower my compression. i have 10.2 to 1 i want to lower to 9.2 to 1 without ------- with internals. i figure adding a extra headgasket would work or copper what do you think.

sell the b16a buy a b18a and spend the extra money on some arps studs :)

i don't think i can do that i love my b16a it loves to rev i can't wait until turbo it will fly threw.

what does that mean?????

Re:lowering the compression
 

If I remember right I think Mr. Gasket has a gasket set that can be stacked to lower compression. I know they make it for some Honda motors, but not sure about B16s. If they use the same gaskets as B18C's then I think it would work. By the way, I saw this in Summit Sport Compact.

attemted translation:

I guess so, but you'll be limited in boost. I would think.

ok thanks

Re:lowering the compression
 

Quick question about compressions....I thought that if you had a higher compression ratio you could run less boost and get the same HP as if you lowered compression and ran more boost? Am I just on crack or is this true?

it sound good on paper but sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes it does. its like hit or miss i guess.
