JayzVr 106 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 At some point I will be doing a engine rebuild on my vr with forged rods and Pistons, I'm thinking either charger or turbo etc.Can I run a n/a engine with low/high comp Pistons. Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) lower compression for turbo\supercharger, if its a daily driver why not get a cheap engine from fleabay to charge and swap when your ready?there is a turbo engine with all the bits for sale on here at the moment.the basic answer is yes you can run low comp pistons on N\A, just dont expect it to go anywhere very quickly!good lucksteve Edited May 11, 2015 by ssaunders D11PS 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Michael 1 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi,it´s not possible to run pistons für Chargers without one.The comp would be too low to let the engine work well.Drive stock pistons till you upgrade. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3highline 287 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Depends how much power you want in the endYou can still get standard compression forged Pistons and charge it with reasonable boost Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Low comp on NA will run fine, but engine braking will suffer a bit and it won't feel as lively at the bottom end. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Low comp on NA will run fine, but engine braking will suffer a bit and it won't feel as lively at the bottom end. had no issues with my stealth built engine running N/A with low comp, but the schrick and 3.68 final drive helped out was still running 221BHP mind.
