I know you can replace the head gasket with a thicker metal one. I'm trying to get a 9-1 or 8.5-1 ratio if possible. Are their any other ways to do it besides changing the slugs?

Thanks for the help.

 

Without rebuilding, no.

 

ya not happening

 

just use a bunch of Headgaskets

 

cmon, those are pretty weak answers...............go to www.inlinepro.com and check out thier headgaskets. i used one on a turbo type r, and its been running for 2 years on alot of boost and made over 400 at the wheels.

and on stock internals, inline pro has made over 500 on all stock shit on a type r before, they did my bottom end and i trust em'

whats with all the crappy answers on here????????????

 

Seriously. He didn't ask for a fucking discertation on how much power the engine can take. He asked a simple question, to which we gave a simple answer.

 

as a matter of fact a B16 usdm or jdm CAN be lowered to 9:1 using a headgasket and yes i did answer his question and told him where to go to find it instead of a one word "NO" answer.


i still think it was better than.......................hey...............NO, i mean seriously help the dude explore ALL of his options before closing the door in his face

 

I don't know if you read his original post, but he SAID that he already knew about using a thicker headgasket, AND he SPECIFICALLY said OTHER WAYS, which leads me to believe he already knows what can be done with a headgasket. He didn't ask for links to headgaskets chief, i think you just want to look like billy badass with all the knowledge.
