high compression turbo setup question

- Wed Oct 09, 2013 3:09 am #337455 Ok so Im building a d16z6 and using eagle forged rods and using forged nippon zc pistons netting 12.05:1 compression ratio. My question is it possible to put 15 psi from a 50 trim t3/t4 to it and if so what else will i need to do?

Tune will be absolutely critical and you'll bef need high octane race gas. I'd use stock CR pistons or something closer to stock. 12.05:1 is going to be trouble with that kind of boost.

I've heard of 10:1 with a small turbo/less boost being streetable.
It really depends on what your tuner can do for you. They will be able to give you a good idea of the compression while keeping things safe. Also letting you know what octane fuel you'll be needing.
Keep us updated on this build :thumb:

My current setup is going to be 10.0:1 as well. E85 at this compression on boost would really help and greatly reduce the chance of detonation, it's not a must but I'd personally would recommend it.
