the block has nothing to do with compression.
the vitara pistons with that head and hg put the cr in the 8.5-8.8:1 area. a little too low, if i had to do it over again, i would have kept the cr up near 10:1.
What would you do instead for a build?..?
toss me a pm If you feel it would venture to far off topic please.
turbo d ftw
i suppose ur right once i think about it for a minute. Why wouldnt u stick with low compression and just crank up the boost, as apposed to a bit higher compression and less boost?
who said i would turn down the boost with high compression?
Minglor, i have used a 10:1 JE piston on the eagle rods, and maybe used a non vtec a6 head with a cam. that head had a better port design, and there is no quench. i think thats (the quench) causes the detonation and blown hg’s sohcs are known for… that and bad tuning
i would just assume that with a higher compression u wouldnt be able to run as high o boost numbers
wow dude… your bike runs 10’s with a good rider… i doubt ur gonna find a hatch that can touch that for 10g’s yet alone a reliable hatch, stick with the bike… chicks dig bikes… 
lol well most do…
(I TOO got the hatch bug when i went for a ride in becks hatch when newman drove me around) but id NEVER sell the bike for it…
