piston / rod options.

IM running OEM pistons and OEM rods. Bore and stroke for a 1.6 is 3.07 x 3.29, for the 1.8 its 3.27 x 3.35 inches

The stock 1.6L is a great engine for mild boost in it's stock form. The 1.8 isn't so bad either.. What do you plan on doing?

well, as it sits right now. my engine sounds like a diesel, there is some piston slap going on in there, I think the rings are just about done. so we're pulling out the bottom end, punching it 25 over and I'm reassembling it with some rods and pistons. I just need to check my options to whats available.

the motor is going to be boosted soon enough, I just need to get this out of the way while I can still daily my integra.

9:1 CP pistons
Pauter rods

flyin miata has a setup for 8.1 compression with carrilo rods

8:1 is way to low. I assume you mean 9:1?

FYI, FM offers 9:1 pistons for boosted setups and 11:1 for N/A:

FYI, the name is Carrillo, not Carrilo: http://www.carrilloind.com/

IMHO:

Pauter rods are better than Carrillo: http://www.pauter.com/

CP pistons are better than Wiseco: http://www.cppistons.com/

Maybe they are running an old semi turbo...

I want to make a 1:1 compression motor, you have inspired me.

I dont think 8:1 is too low at all. It will be fine and safer. Spool 2oorpm slower??

1G DSMs had 7.8:1
2G DSMs had 8.5:1

i currently have an upgraded greddy turbo kit on a stock 1.6 block. what do you guys recommend me doing if i wanna boost 20lbs or hit 12sec on 1/4mile? I am currently using bipes for retard timing, begi fbr for fuel? thanks

D'OH! Just past the nick of time. I have an engine being built using Carrillo and Weisco. #-o

I've always heard of CP pistons expanding from high-heat levels, where Wiseco's don't. Is that correct or am I confusing the 2?
