If you have good ring seal you could install a different set of cams that would A) Be compatible with a street turbo set-up and B) Bleed off some of your existing cylinder pressure which will have the same effect as reducing the mechanical compression ratio.

PM John (Camgrinder) for advise

Tony,

I am having my cylinders bored and Nikasil plated to match 98 mm JE pistons. I'm not going to go as low in CR as you will, but I believe the JE pistons can be ordered with the CR you want.

I'm building a 3.4 Turbo.

Does anyone have a pic of a JE 98mm piston dome? I was wondering if they do custom compressions AND custom domes for those of us that have twin-plugged our engines.

I had JE make custom pistons for me. You can see a pic at:

http://www.brookstonefarms.com/930rebuild_page2.htm

I am building a motor that has a stroked (964) crank, super 964 cams, custom 98mm pistons and 3.2L cylinders bored out to 98mm (better cooling than the 3.3 cylinders and A LOT cheaper than Mahle).

The compression is 8.0:1 with very little dome on the pistons.
