Welcome! What compression ratio does the 2L pistons + 1.8rods yield?

its reported to be approx 8 to1.
I tryied my best to measure it by volume and my calcs were about correct,

 

welcome...i thought 1.8L pistons and rods in 2.0 block make compression 8 to 1

and 2.0L pistions and 1.8L rods raise the compression on a 2.0L block

 

Hm i thought 1.8 pistons and rods = 7.7:1 compression but I just looked around in a thread and they said it's 8.1:1. Confusing haha

 

yeah...cuz you with those you got to push crazy amount of boost,

Kite-my question what size block do you have...1.6 or 1.8, i dont know if i remember hearing any members from down under with 2.0 block

 

He says 1.8l in the intro

Post some pics! lol
