I never said I prasied low compression. But we all know lower compression = more boost in most situations. Hey Darkkstar I didn’t know you DJ chamus now. ---

Sorry guys. yes, you do you are extremely high strung and need to chill. now, answer my q. why do you think low compression and high boost is better than higher compression and lower boost? and instead of getting all pissy with me, answer me, and maybe learn something from someone that knows more about it than you. opinions arent worth shit to me, facts are. you dont buy parts. or take tuning advice from someone that says “yeah, i like this”, and cant say “this is why i like this, and let me show you why” do you? ---

(note the question mark, i’m kind of curious about this) ---

bah, honda is mad reliable… this engine will be bonkers to throw in a civic… i bet within weeks the mount kit is out to drop it into an EG hatch. gauranteed half the asians in the whole of the US are already applying for lines of credit to snag the first motors ripped out of MDX’s stolen of lots across the country in the first few weeks… first dude with a EG-K23 wins… ---

Low compression = more boost buddy. I appreciate any help you give me, I just don’t appreciate the attitude that’s all. more boost doesnt always equate to more power, or a broader (is that a word?) power band. a prime example would be the sky redline with its compression being down in the low 9’s. as for the attitude. it makes no difference if i know you or not. the posts with my opinions are fact and experience backed, and yours are not. this car is a production car with compression that is too low for the low (in relative terms) boost pressure i am sure it will be running. ILCisDEAD, my saab can run 87 all day long. a knock sensor pulling boost and timing, thats not rocket surgery. it makes me sad that GM appears to have done a better job with their turbo engine than Honda did. oh wells ---
