compression ratio
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the compression ratio of my95 uk turbo and is it different to the imports if so why? as i;ve been told early uk cars have a higher comp ratio meaning they can handle higher boost pressure than imports is this true? cheers

Your car will have a compression ratio of 8.0 : 1.
An early (versions 1 & 2) Wrx and STi (import) has a higher compression of 8.5 : 1.
The UK cars used a lower compression so that they could run safely on our 95 ron fuel.
(In 1997 UK cars had their compression raised)
Dito what Tath says above.
