How would I go about decreasing the compression of my motor to be able to run a turbo kit? I have a built 308 with 10.5:1 compression.Would I have to buy all new stuff? Also, what is a good single turbo kit?

 

dished pistons

 

Heads with big combustion chambers would be easiest
and sell the heads you have now.

single kits.

ok. im coming into some money soon and I'm thinking that will make me happier than what I have now. What kind of heads would you guys recommend? I think I have trick flow atm.

 

If you have a 61cc TFS TW head now, your best bet would be to go with a 70cc Vic. Jr.

 

and that would lower the compression how much?

 

maybe .9 or so

 

Even if you can bring the compression down a whole point you'd still be at 9.5:1. If you don't want to tear into the shortblock, you could get a custom cam ground that has a really late intake valve closing point. That'll bring your dynamic(actual) compression way down so it can safely run good boost levels. It'd work good with a turbo setup that boosts at low rpm or something like a KB, the boost pressure will help to pickup the power you lose from a late intake valve closing at low rpm. Otherwise you'll need to get different pistons or run race fuel to get any boost that makes a blower worth the money

 

well im looking for a single turbo kit, but please reply on my other topic. that might help me out some as well.
