Which would be better suited for road racing? 8:5 or 9:1
Thanks in advance.

The different between 8:5:1 and 9:1 is negligible.

I honestly dont know. If you have an turbo running at very efficient boost levels. You have an intercooler keeping IAT as close to ambient as humanly possible. A good radiator and oil cooler. A proper race gas like C16 would the EGT really climb out of control?Originally posted by dyezak
Well, open track you will be at WOT a lot and seeing some sustained time at high rpm and high egt's. To keep from killing a motor on open track I would limit myself to 9:1.
Tuning is tuning. If you have no idea what you are doing you should let some else do it. The turbo Honda guys have been doing some absolutely incredible things on 10:1 pistons. I know that Marco sells pistons at that CR but I would like to see them make it on to more cars.Originally posted by dyezak
Remember though...as your C/R goes up your tuning window closes.

You can call JE and ask them to make any custom piston you want. It isnt a very large price difference to have them make a "custom" piston.Originally posted by greathuskie
someone should contact like JE and ask them to make 9.2:1 pistons, i would buy em in a heartbeat
That is pretty intresting thank you. I wonder if your EGT issues were due to the IC heatsoaking or your coolant and oil temperatures starting to rise hmm. I am trying to get a group of my friends to do a HPDE in June at Summit Point so I will be testing some of my theories then.Originally posted by 2-0turbo
Just my experience.
