what psi?
going to turbo my motorcycle its a 94 suzuki rf900r the motor is based off the 93-98 gixxer 1100w. its stock with 11.3:1 compression. i'm gonna try and find some turbo pistons to lower the compression to liek 9.5:1 or 10:1. if i want to run 93 octane gas how much boost can i run without detonation? i had a guy that builds cuctom motorcycles tell me the motor can hold 15psi before i start breaking internals but i know it'll detonation before that

Check out this link for a little article that explains some things...http://hondaswap.com/turbo-informati...ression-29102/
The article deals with Honda car motors, but the principles are the same for any motor.

But I thought it wasn't that simple, like cam overlap figures into dynamic c/r and not just a formula involving static (in the cylinder as if no valves opening), or will cam specs determine the static compression? I know it's in there somewhere.

Re: what psi?
wow i was expecting to get flamed instead of getting answers lol but thanks guys
i did the math on that ----
9.5:1 at 9psi =15.3 effective compression
10:1 at 8 psi = 15.4
11.3 at 5psi = 15.1
i tried to keep them at about the same as what that guy said was ok for that honda motor. how high can you go? or do you want to try and stay around 15.3? it is a daily sriver like the honda.
why can you run a turbo at 15.whatever:1 compression on pump gas but not an n/a? is it becuase your only at full boost for a short period of time?

EGT=Exhaust Gas Temperature. You can get an egt gauge with a probe and put it in one of the runners on your turbo manifold. Think of it like a temp guage for your exhaust.
