Nahh fek a thinker head gasket. No chance i would go dropping my compression by doing it that way. I've got forged 9:1 pistons, i want reliablity and thats what ive paid for. :| hopefully.
But i guess for people trying to squeeze as much as they can out of there stock motors and dont mind if they blow it for a rebuild then i probably would chuck a thicker head gasket on it.
Mind you dropping your comp to 9:1 with a thicker head gasket will need to be fairly large and the gasket will possibly be unstable itself. Cant win
id be looking at running forgies at about 10:1 if i ever rebuild... i dont wana go lower then that as youll be loosing power before u gain it...
I mean correct in saying that but i personally think i havent loost that much. It deffinatly is different to stock compression while driving off boost but its not a huge difference in 9:1.
i wont get into this anymore cos i think i've already said it in this thread before...
its great to have high comp and boost aswell but something will give eventually and it did for me motor blew after 6 months of a high comp boost setup at 7psi. Had a drag with this R32 and i was making him eat my vtec but then bamm it gave way and i needed a full rebuild.

Man I got'a say I disagree with this... There’s a lot of boosted Stock B16’s getting round without problems and I hope I’m one of them.. Adrian from TODA who dose my tuning doesn’t seem to think I’ll have any problems and he also said I’d blow my boosted D16 and he was right lol

I think if you have a superb build and a smaller turbo then it could run upto a year with no probs...
I think the main factor with mine was i had a t04e which was solid boost from 4500-9000+ rpm and that night i was giving it hurt shifting around 8400 and that solid boost prolly not a great combo.....
where a gt28 etc on a high comp build will die out around 6000-7000rpm soo it will make it a little safer to push to higher rpms etc.
I think thats really the only thing that could have caused my issue.
