Message	so early, I wonder how much diff comp ratio could make. It's clear how higher c/r makes power in an NA engine, but it seems it would limit power in a TT engine. Isn't it true that a boosted engine will create enough volumetric efficiency that the limiting factor in power is the size of the combustion chamber when the piston is at tdc? I could see some argument for higher c/r if the setup has a lot of lag, but even then, one would trade a little low-end response for a large loss of power at the top end. I don't speak as an expert here, but I'm curios as to whether I'm right in my thinking.

Most people with aftermarket pistons are ~9:1 - Antihero 16:48:54 02/11/13 I was actually just looking into this. - AHos(Chicago) 15:29:14 02/11/13 I can see where the confusion is - Zvil (FL) 09:47:10 02/12/13 I went 9.2:1 compression. - Woody75 (Denver) 10:16:55 02/12/13 Definitely agree! More compression is usually better.. - flashstar 14:06:32 02/12/13 yep - aliaZ 21:29:51 02/12/13 I actually just sent you an email about this. - AHos(Chicago) 23:13:13 02/12/13 yep. I'll respond later... (n/m) - aliaZ 06:48:50 02/13/13 No rush. Just checking. Thanks! (n/m) - AHos(Chicago) 09:35:35 02/13/13 Ok no one argues that. - white22sky 09:39:55 02/13/13 I maxed my turbos out (28psi) and I was still fine. - Woody75 (Denver) 09:54:39 02/13/13 28psi? was that on pump gas? (n/m) - Zvil (FL) 10:16:01 02/13/13 No (n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 10:21:58 02/13/13 28PSI is in the area I was thinking. - white22sky 11:02:44 02/13/13 My reasoning would lead me to believe - Zvil (FL) 12:12:54 02/13/13 ALSO - Zvil (FL) 12:23:48 02/13/13 Yes. - white22sky 13:09:44 02/13/13 yep, and it's also the same reason in a roundabout way - Zvil (FL) 20:01:02 02/13/13 So lower compression makes a more efficient turbo, generally - white22sky 10:22:26 02/14/13 Re: Ok no one argues that. - Properstyle 06:40:39 02/18/13 With today's turbos and breather mods, these cars make boost - zellamay 10:41:13 02/12/13
