It's also completely pointless if he's rebuilding the bottom end as he'll be using new pistons anyway, which can just as easily be purchased as a lower comp ratio.

I'm not a fan of lowering the comp ratio for a turbo, but if you're going to, at least do it in such a way that isn't going to make the car an absolutely pig to drive.

Lower comp forged pistons + gasket at the same time is what i ment

honestly 9k u can get a b18c + installation for roughly 7k and u got 2g's left could go towards the head like cams and that''ll do the job since ur crx is a light car..

a 93 crx isn't such a light car..
they weigh 1100kg+

heavier than an AUDM integra type R

the audm itr is not less than 1100kg... there is some misinformation out there regarding this(this exact comment has been made in another thread). Compare the weights of the audm type r to the dc2r from everywhere else in the world to get the real figures.





B16 with a turbo is going to be heaps faster than a b18cr with bolt on n/a mods or a k20

how heavy is audm dc2r then?

audm itr is less then 1100...cuz the vtir is 1100+ and i dont think the typeR is as heavy as the vtir

The factory spec said it was 1087kg but that’s without aircon, so I guess most dc2r on the road is heavier than 1100kg
