    Default Low Compression b16???

    I've got these is ideas in my head mang...

    So, I have a b16a/b hybrid. I think. I just baught the car like 2 weeks ago, and I have always wanted to go boost. From the looks of it, the engine is a b16a from a jdm SiR, but I THINK the head is a b16b, but im not sure. Regarless, I wanna know if it would be unreliable to boost it for daily driving???

    Now, If the compression was to high to boost for daily driving, could I get low compression pistons for it and that would be it, or would there be other stuff that I would have to do to bullet proof it?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    ya, i guess. I mean, it wasn't really a real race. He just wanted to see what I had under the hood. So I said if he beats me he could see it, but I let him see it anyways.

    But back to what I was saying, for me to go boost "reliably" I would prolly have to get tuned again, lower the compression, get new pistons, get new cams, and what else???
