i know this has been covered 1000000 times but to me this is a lil more complex

my plans are to go KA24E-T keep in mind

i might need to bore my block to +1.0mm the only company found that sells pistons that size are wiseco and they are for the KA24DE. now i know if you put SOHC pistons in the DOHC it raises the compression so by default DE pistons in a E should drop the compression

wiseco offers 9.0:1 compression and 10.5:1 compression pistons, should i buy the higher compression pistons since its gonna drop the compression being installed on the SOHC or will the 9.0:1 pistons be ok?

Comparing KAE vs KADE OEM pistons, you should just stick with the KAE pistons...
These days lowering compression is not as necessary since tuning is so much better...

I'm not comparing OEM. It's after market pistons and I'm boring over a full MM. Plus when it comes to a turbo charging a motor it makes a difference but thanks for the reply
