RV engine question

[neptunonc at yahoo.com (Neptuno)]

 Jason, did you get those numbers on an RV engine? And if so how did you lower the compression?
   
  1) I am missing a piece of the information and conpletly showing my ignorance? 
  2) The pistons on any engine determine the compression ratio? 
  3) The RV engine is a high compression engine?
  4) How to make this $50 engine become a boosted engine?
  5) I should buy it and wait to transplant it to a Digifant Vanagon?
   
  Thanks,
  El T

    with 15PSI on CIS i was running a 7.8:1 compression ratio
   
  the RV IIRC is 10:1, and the pistons are different to get the higher compression ration

So In the long wrong the issues is that a lower compression ratio is needed for boost. And that this engine may not be a good candidate? kinda of a pickle that only cost $50 bucks.

You should be good with that! Try to get a knock sensing ignition for
it though- the reason it has more power is because there's more 
compression.

It is digifant, So what just swap the head from the JH that has been sitting in the garage for a year and I should be able to run the CIS on it without trouble? I think that is the answer for stock 100hp. Reasurance is welcome!
