integra LS eagle rods

block was decked for gasket sealing about .010 over

B16 head, shaved .040 over

specs on the piston are 29.525mm compressed height, and -4mm dome. compression w/ that combo come out to 8.60:1 or something like that w/out the block decked .010, w/ block or head shaved .010 it goes to 8.77:1

are you sure? I am under the impression that I am running 10.5.1 compression, I tried using the compression calculator but was not sure about the results. someone at h-t said 9.5.1 which is acceptable, but 8.7.1 does not sound correct. this car is even powerful in N/A form thats not possible at 8.7.1 compression

I wish I could get some more input on this I am very paranoid with it. even though I still run 21psi at the track, and 13 psi daily. every now and then 21psi in the streets.

ok well, just believe me then, i dont see how my calculations could be off, unless the compression calculator has a wrong spec somewhere. im not familiar enough w/ B series to see if the deck heights and all are correct on that particular calculator.

if I go with you I would up the boost to 35psi and boom, but it made me feel better about running 21psi without worry. thanks for the help though

exactly, i know for sure the D series calculator has the wrong D15 deck height, no telling whats wrong w/ the B calculator. i wouldnt recommend boost level based on compression ratio though.

Default Re: compression ratio help

both D compresssion calcs SHOULD have the correct deck height now......

I know zealautoworks is correct.......

can also do it the correct why, if your good at math

Using the 9:1 GSR slugs in your setup, I'm guessing they have a 7cc dish......

I'm coming up 10.48:1 compression with those pistons in your motor.

.5 mm shorter deck + .050" milled are the big factors.
