Thank you that helps a lot. Still worth dry building to confirm or is this calculator the way to go?Also, am I correct in thinking that it is less work to keep the stock connecting rods anyways and just swap the piston itself on the pin so I don’t have to tear into the bottom end and buy more gaskets etc?

Thanks for the quick responses guys I appreciate it. Also makes sense about the chain- So next question. what would be better compression ratio for street use w/pump gas? 8 to 1 with spacer plate and busa rods or 9 to 1 with stock rods and busa pistons? Going to be running td04 max 1bar pressure

Chad here- Planning on upgrading the '03 bandit to a 1216cc turbo for street use. Want to run mainly 93 pump gas maybe a splash of 110 or 112 here and there with if possible?! Looking to start at 6-8 psi and up from there till I hit 200 hp give or take. I believe I'm 950ft above sea level here in Wisconsin... Parts I have Gen 1 Busa pistons & rods - used New Rings / 81mm cometic head gasket MTC stage 2 lock-up clutch td04hl-16t OR td05-16g ( both in cart- can't decide!) I've finally found a local place that is capable of boring and honing the cylinders to specs so here we go. Going to try to document the process as much as possible as well for your entertainment. Couple of questions before I pull the trigger... Can anyone that has used gen 1 busa pistons AND rods in a bandit confirm their CR and with what thickness base spacer was used? OR maybe can someone with busa pistons on stock rods confirm CR? Also, what compression ratio should I try to achieve given my plans? This might determine whether I keep my stock rods and use the busa pistons OR use busa rods & pistons with a spacer.... Any information, thoughts, questions or concerns appreciated
