I would really appreciate some help with boosting my D16A6. Im planning on emmulating one of the civics Ive seen online. My question is, what do I need to know about my compression ratio before I install, Im familiar with swapping head gaskets, but Im not sure if I need to. My motor is completely rebuilt, and Ive been collecting turbo parts for my install. Ive been researching and I would appreciate the support.

What exactly are you asking?

SpankedYA!

If your motor was rebuilt to stock spec then your compression is fine for boosting. Just do a lot of research first. It's very important you understand how every single part works and its function. They you need to learn how it all works together. Information is the key.

Thats cool, but its not stock specs exactly, .20 over on the slugs (not forged).

How much compression is too much to turbocharge a D16A6 w/a T3 ,42 - .48 setup? Can someone let me know?

nothing over the stock 9 to 1

OK besides thicker head gaskets, are ther any other way of lowering my C/R?

Low-comp pistons.
