Pistons for SOHC ZC
I'm gonna turbo the blue baby next year (2 weeks away). My compression is OK, but i may want to get some pistons since this will be a daily driver. If any of you live in Atlanta you KNOW how they drive here!
What pistons can i swap in here that will take the stress (honda oem) or should i go for aftermarket. I've also heard about using copper head gaskets and "ringing" the cylinders with wire to get a better seal. Is this hype or will an emissions legal turbo need this kind of sealing.
I'm probably going to run less than 8 psi for starters.
Next question: What type of kit to get... I've seen from 600 bux to 3000 bux. if i want my engine to last, what should i get?
