Need Some Advice From U Turbo'd Civics
hey guys, just wondering if any of u have upgraded your internals for your turbo'd civics. i was gonna get a thicker headgasket to lower my compression, does anyone else have a thicker headgasket and has done a compression test? if so wut is your compression now and how much boost are u safely running. also have any of u put in forged pistons yet and how long have u had it and have u had any trouble from the pistons ripping through your cylinder walls or is it waring it down or anything? any useful info that i can get to lower my compression and boost a little higher safely would be much appreciated. TIA.

Rep Power: 0 im running arias pistons and crower rods, the pistons work great. No problem what so ever, at first (and even a little bit now after a month) they are louder than stock a bit, but thats normal. If I don't blow the motor as of yet, im getting the block sleeved and getting a PnP done along with new valves, retainers and etc. But I'll have to keep my car long enough to do that, i might end up getting a WRX in a year or so
