Boosting a ITR??????

[speedminded]

so how hard would it be to drop 13:1 compression down to a low enough level to run a turbo? im considering doing this on my ls/vtec.

Who's running 13:1?

13:1 on an LS/VTEC? What internals you running? Is this with a B16 head?

i belive its a b16 head and it was decked and it has itr pistons,arp rod bolts and studs,itr cams valves and springs and the list goes on. so how can i drop the compression?

the cheapest & easiest way is a thicker head gasket...i think HKS makes a 2.6mm but it's pricey. The most reliable way would be switch out the ITR pistons.

then i would need my block machined again right? the engine is still new.dammit how low will that gasket drop my compression?and should i ditch the head too,since it was decked?

There are several disadvantages of simply putting on a thicker head gasket and if i were to build a turbo engine i'd want a taller block w/ new rods, pistons, etc. that had a little longer & smoother stroke...i'm not familiar enough with forced induction to be recommending much so i'd wait for feedback from VTECkidd or one of the sponsors.
