My parts provider has been trying to sort me out with some forged pistons for my build, however he said the best he could do was a set of forged pistons matched with a 1.8mm MLS head gasket, he said I would be getting around 9.5:1, is this too high? Will I be increasing the risk of det by much compared to something lower? I will only be running 98 pump.

I don't think JE understand that there is a difference between the old 25 and the Neo. They list that piston as suiting both. It can't. They have a 14cc dome on them.

If you go to JE's site and separately search for pistons for a 33 and for a 34 (on two different tabs) you can flick back and forth and see the exact same list. It can't be right. Have a search around on SAU for threads discussing the CR difference you get with a NEO head on 33 pistons. I can't remember the exact numbers, but they're not good (for boost). Might be good for E85, so long as there aren't valve-piston clearance issues.

Just an update, yeah the pistons still had a high compression even with the 1.8 MLS gasket, so he decked the pistons he worked the comp to be 9.2:1

Is this still quite high, I have decided to use e85. Turbo is a Garrett gtx3076r, what would be the highest, safest boost I can run, I have all supporting mods.

    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
    • Tapin,    So got mine up and realize a few things. First was my slave line doesn’t reach the other side, so I have to get a longer hose made. I want to ask did you have to extend your wires for the CD009 sensors? One on the driver side(right side of car looking at the car from the rear) and one on the passenger side( the left side of car from rear). And do you know what those two sensors are respectively? I know it’s not Speedo since we talked on this already. And I may have to separate the trans again to swap out throw out bearing. We will see. Did you run your RB slave cylinder? I know you cracked your original but replaced it with a nismo. But wasn’t sure if you bought the one designed for the CD009 or not. Thanks 
    • There is X amount of load on a timing belt. Adding bigger duration cams and valve springs will certainly add some to that figure - but there is no way in creation that you need "300% stronger". There are plenty of big power RBs and JZs running stock belts. There have been more complaints about noise from Gates belts than there have been reports of stock belts dieing young.
