Im debating to bebuild my KA. I would like to put some low compression forged pistons.(8.5.1) If i do that will it hurt my performance before i get my turbo? I plan to put a turbo on in a couple of months. This 93 is my daily driver. Also where can i get a metal headgasket for a ka24de?

Any help whould be appreciated.Thanks

yeah, there might be a drop in power from going 9.1 compression to 8.5. but it's not gunna be like real slow or anything. actually, it'll be like my engine (later model sohc)

Those guys carry pretty much everything that you would need to build up a KA24DET. Here is a post to give you an idea what it is capable of when built with the stuff they have:
