I had this in mind when I was thinking about how much more reliable it is to run a lower CR when turboing the EJ25. Also which CR would be just right as in reliable and just right for boost.
I was thinking of maybe 9.0:1 CR pistons. This would still be a good CR right? It's obviously lower than OEM CR, which is 9.8:1 and 10.0:1. The reason I think 9.0:1 is that it'll build boost sooner and have a better torque curve and sooner torque curve. It'll be forged too! Would this be a suitable CR to be able to put out 400bhp (crank) and still be reliable?
