Hi guys

I have CP pistons installed at the moment 8.8:1 compression.

Piston 3 has gone tits up and I need a new one, I don't think they do singles.

This has broken because faulty valve must have hit it.

I was thinking about putting stock pistons back in 10:1 compression.

I have seen 1.8l Tiburon pistons at Kspec for $159...best value but compression will be 11.0:1

Is it wise for me to go with 11:1 compression and maybe reduce the boost from the supercharger or shoul I go with stock pistons that I can't get from anywhere or do I shed out for another set of CP Pistons?

11.0:1 means more power - high risk
Stock = conservative
8.8:1 = Less power but very safe

Need expert advice on this..please help

 

im pretty sure you already made a very similar thread and there was a ton of good responses and a few from me.. check out your old thread..

here it is.. other piston/compression thread

i would use stock compression pistons, just the stock 2.0L pistons..

i dont believe your pushing over 12psi, so you will still be safe..

getting 1.8L pistons on a FI motor would be dumb.

 

CP will sell you a single piston provided they have some already machined. smile.gif
