You knew enough to send your block to darton and to build the engine, but you don't know what CR to use? o_0


Just use 9:1 and call it a day.

Bore it to 84mm and buy the CPs I have forsale. You will need all the help you can get on that little 1.6

I'd do 9:1, if the bottom end is truly built then the lower compression will give you more room to run more boost safely.

What your buddy "told" you is not accurate at all. Their are too many variables. I would go with 9.1:1cr. How much power are you looking for? and remember tuning is KEY!!

im with him if the block really is sleeved you better bore it out or you will be wasteing it,at least go to 83-84mm you will still be safe at 20Psi
