A company over here is offering +.5 oversize forged pistons that give a 11.8:1 CR is this too much for road use ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this ?

I finally have my SR20DE in bits on the bench, I am wondering which way to go with. Any suggestions would be greatfully received. I am thinking of flowing the head and block. I intend to use SR20DET con-rods and forged pistons, as mentioned above. Is it worth the expense of going "all Steel" on the bottom end ?

I would really like to use US companys to buy my products because it seems only to be the US that gives a **** about tuning these motors.

Thanx

porting is nice as well as extrude honing heads and manifold also port match. smoother more efficient engine is what you'll have. I don't know much about compression ratios if that will work or not .good luck what company is this you're talking about?

91 SE-R,10:1 comp.pistons,balanced &blueprint rebuild.comp.4angle valve job,extrude honed heads/intake manifold,No emissions.crap,RC TB/MAF,nismo cams,UR pulleys,stillen4-1 ceram.header,nismo/centerforce dual fric.clutch,PR CAI,2 1/2 test pipe,mandrel 2 1/4 superturbo ex.,and a whole bunch of other goodies! boost is in the works ,hell yeah 3:16!

funny, i also have a ?? on CR. i know by changing piston, etc you can acheive a higher CR. what about milling the head like 0.030 to boost it up a tad? would that be detrimental? valves hitting things and heat a big factor?

The company is a UK company called Siliva Enginnering. I pretty sure they are made by somebody else and marketed by them as there own.

Another question, How do you calculate a CR ??

Don't mill the head!! It will throw the cam timing off and does some funky voodoo to the flow charateristics. 11.8:1 is really high, comapare, stock usdm se-r/nx2k 9.5:1, jdm primera 10:1, most of the fully built N/A monsters are about 11-11.2:1 but have a ton of other work done to them. To run over approx 10.5:1 (or so, I forget the limit) you'll need a JWT high comp program. The firing gets sssoo violent that it triggers the knock sensors!! There are alot of other variables involved, if you're serious let me know.

for refrece on cr the btcc (former) primera used a 14.5:1 cr in it, but it was all turned around, intake manifold in front, exhaust manifold in back, I have a 4-5 page article on it from Race Tech a few years ago.

I got 2 words for you, Mike Kojima. Check the SE-R.net for his 11:1 motor.

Can you e mail me the article about the primera engine ?

With regard to the pistons, What types of forged pistons are available on the US market ? Like ones where the CR isn'r stupid.
