nope...1.8L pistons and rods, lowers the compression

2.0L pistons with 1.8 rods, raise the compression

half wrong^

1.8 pistons and 1.8 rods lower compression

2.0 pistons and 1.8 rods would shorten stroke assuming that again would lower compression

1.8 pistons and 2.0 rods will raise compression


1.8 pistons are raised on the top 2.0 pistons are not.

keep in mind i dont plan on running double digit boost numbers with out meth injection.

oh btw if you do decide to go turbo with the 1.8 pistons, i can get you a base tune that i have.
