Reply With QuoteThe RSX-S is satisfyingly powerful enough for my tastes...bringing it to that low of compression would probably make it -45 hp before the turbo gets on there.
for those ep lovers going for boost and want a little bit lower comp ratio JE pistons offers a 9.0:1 setup for the rsx-s. the bore and stroke are the same as the si. [displacement] (although some milling will probably be required anyway) i'm pretty sure we could use the same application pistons as the rsx-s be it higher or lower compression.
what are the gear heads' thoughts on this? :)

sounds good to me. That would be a safe compression for boost.
Oh and I can't imagine who in their right mind would put low compression pistons in an engine that doesn't have a turboSome people are just plain...well...stupid

why would milling be required? Do they say that one the JE site?Originally posted by !@#$%

The pistons should be a direct swap.
i wasnt sure about the milling....i figured that since they are aftermarket they wont be 100% the same. To be honest i don't even know. I'm still trying to learn more on the issue. :)

The K20a blocks all have the same piston dimensions, the rods are all the same length, and the cranks are practically identical. The type-s does have beefier rods, but the rod thickness @ the wrist pin should be the same between the type-s rods and the ep3 rods. And if it's not, you could always just get the type-s rods. Hell, if you're dropping the compression with new pistons, you'd probably wanna go ahead and get forged rods while it's all taken apart anyhow.

FailuretoStart: When are you gonna start a thread about your forced conduction idea? i'm still waiting. Finals are almost over so I would be glad to straighten out your misconceptions.
