what kind of compression is to much for pump gas in a b18c1, also will how high could you go before everyday driving was compromised, if fully built

 

I wouldn't go over 11.0:1 or so without a tunable ECU like hondata/etc. I've seen 12:1 run on pump gas with hondata...but a lot of timing was pulled out. I had a friend running 13:1 on the street, and he had to mix 2 gallons of Toluene with each tank of gas...and he was running a J&S Safeguard.

 

thanks, getting ready for some new pistons, and a lot of other goodies, looking to build up a mild na engine for my car, any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Toluene? Good lord! Don't they use that in TNT? Yes they do, Tri-nitro-toluene

 

well, toulene does origanlly come from making gasoline. But yes, also used in TNT I think.

 

That's the stuff. Raises octane quite well.

 

how would 11:1 be, in a built motor,acceleration and what not, and horse power, building the entire thing, just looking into diff ways of going about this

 

Obviously more compression is going to make more power, but 11:1 is a good street compression. The USDM Type R motor has 11:1 compression.

 

well ive been looking at a crower stroker kit to turn it into a 2.1 liter, with some higher compression and some cams and other things, i think i would have a bad ass motor, just looking for some opinions thanks

 

Stroker kits suck and ruin the revvability of the motor. If you want to increase displacement, get your block sleeved and bore to 84-85mm...which will make it about a 2 liter, and you'll keep the revvability.
