Haha. What you been doing to it then?

Try the projects section and post some words about your car.

Posting pics will get better replies than just a link!!

i have stripped her out had engine has been shot blast painted honed out so far getting gasflowed head from hiflow newmans ph3 cam low compression pistons upgraded valves and springs re map is a must what else do you recomend mate


nice to meet you btw

[Furioman]

hope you meant to say high comp pistons, unless you forgot to say youre going to slap a turbo on it

[pdiddley]

not sure what to do then turbo or not to turbo i was told you dont have to turbo to put low compression in

thanks for the heads up matey

The whole point of tuning is to raise the compression either from pistons or induction method.

What would be the benefit of lowering the compression?

[pdiddley]

so high comp is better?

Lowering the compression,with a thicker head gasket allows the fitting of a turbo whilst retaining standard internals & the running on low boost(that's the theory anyway)

Hence what I meant by induction method, the guy said he wanted to fit lower compression pistons without a turbo.


To OP - it depends what you mean. The higher compression in the chamber is better yes. But this can be achieved by a number of ways - high compression pistons are just one of them. For a turbo / supercharger setup you want lower compression pistons so you can then raise it back from the charger.

I suggest you read up on on how they work as there is some great material out there if you want to take it seriously.

so its back to the drawing bored then

[pdiddley]

ok after a long think i have now got a vts engine also got a polished and ported head with cam set up

[DeekB]

as others have said,

low comp for turbo conversions,

high comp for biggers cams and bodies,

depends what route you want to go down.
