whats up guys have my ap1 block at machine shop,theres nothing they could do for cylinder so ended up getting aebs 87mm sleeves and 11:5:1 87mm je pistons,i dont plan on turbo so didnt go with low compression pistons.my question to you guys is if one day i do decide to boost will i be ok with these pistons..thanks

 

Depends on how much boost... Mild boost under 7psi, sure. Since stock is 11:1

You could always put on a thicker head gasket

 

cool thats what i was thinking,just get thicker head gasket,yea not looking for 500whp thats why i stuck to these pistons,plus living in california cant do much to your car besides supercharging and stay street legal,wish i could go turbo and get crazy amounts of hp and stay street legal but that aint happening in cali...thanks

 

If Greddy get's carb and you decide on that, then you can't turn up the boost per say the same as you could with stock.

 

what would i need to do besides thicker head gasket to run a greddy safely if they do get a carb legal kit out?now im wishing i went with the low compression pistons i just didnt want to have low compression pistons in my car and not be able to get boosted for awhile it would of probably ran like crap,oh well maybe i just get spoon head gasket raise compression and enjoy the car..

 

true with 9:1 CR on all motor the car would have been a bit slower, but not horribly, and since you are thinking of boosting anyways it would have been liveable. no matter though, if you boost in future, just get 3mm hg and that will throw you back into the mid-high 9's on CR.

in otherwords, its not the end of the world.

 

hope greddy gets a carb#,i would really look into gettin it if it does,but i wont be going boost any time soon all ready spent to much on sleeves,pistons and machine shop and i need a new clutch so going with hardtop guys clutch package with flywheel so its going to be awhile before boost
