    Default compression ratios b16's

    hey i was wondering wat the diff between the usdm b16a2 160hp and 111 lb/ft 10.2:1, and the jdm b16a2 10.4:1 170hp 116. what difference would the compression ratios make and which one would be the better one to swap into my 2000 honda civic coupe.

    do u plan on going tubro w/ it or not? if ur planning to stick to NA power, higher compression ratio would b better i guess? if ur goin for boost ur gonna end up having to lower then probabyl as is
    anyone from speedtech would b the ones to talk to for this...

    you can go with either motor. You won't feel the difference between the two at all.
