i have a jdm dohc zc. i have heard that the compression on the motor is 9:5:1, and i want to go boost. the motors has about 60,000 miles on the motor. i have been running med grade gas in to.
i have been watching youtube videos with car that had like 58,000 on a motor and throw rods through the block when getting tuned. what should i do with the compression and the milage. oh yeah i also want to run around 8 to 10 psi on the stock bottom-end and the stock head. maybe i might do a little bit of head work.

should i boost it and run the 10 psi at the most?

that's a steal...jump on that quick. you won't be able to build one yourself for that in parts alone.

9.5:1 stock internal boosted is fine for most turbo 8-10psi (depending on turbo).

do you have some pictures of it ?

how big pistons ? coated ? what PTW clearance ?

which acl bearings ?

what bolts on the rods ? been torqued only, or retorqued couple of times ?
