Benefit Of A 12a Turbo?
#21
it's all the same across the board. i know guys who have 9:1 pistons in boosted civics, and they run perfectly fine. but N/A for a civic compression wise is like 10:1 or even 11:1 from I have seen.
i think you don't want the compression to be so low, but not so high. 8.5:1 sounds like a doable number.
and I will be doing the swap now. i officially have a hookup for garret, turbonetics, obx, and hks turbo kits. i get them at invoice price. SWEET!!

the 12a turbo used the same trans as the gsl-se, so it depends on your right foot, anywhere from 40k to 250k miles...
