Miguel Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thicker HG to lower compression work, but they royally screw up the squish area. Not the best way of lowering the CR IMO, but it's cheap. You pays your money and makes your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 i think im going to go with the boost logic kit with the hg and bolts included then decide what to do when the engine is out as taking the head off aint a major job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pays your money and makes your choice. Right on the money there. Although the TT and NA share the same squish area they achieve this by two different ways so whilst adding a thicker HG seems a quick way to gain some headroom for boost you could also introduce engine killing det not to mention the engine probly wont peform as well as its should.

RobD Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Are the TT pistons just a drop in or does the block need to be bored out to accomadate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Unmolested they are the same size bores, but you should always check the clearances on building and adjust as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said in this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=209281 Its a dodgy bodge but i suppose with your power goals you will get away with it.

dr_jekyll Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 when you say uprated h/g , do you mean same thickness but stronger because that will be fine . you wont need tt pistons with stock injectors but if you ever want to go for higher numbers they will be needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
