Because 2 valve heads (combustion chambers) are not as efficient as 4 valve
heads, a lower compression ration is generally required for a 2 valve setup.
8.5 or 9 should be pretty safe for the GPZ turbo setup. 10:1 is is a "safe,
streetable" CR for a 4 valve setup. RE: Valves, for a turbo application
larger exhaust valves would show a benefit through better exhaust flow
to/through the turbo but because the turbo is pressurizing the intake side,
larger intake valves are generally not required.

  I am building a 1983 GPZ1100, with a MoTeC M4 engine management system and
a IHI-RHB5 turbocharger.....

  Since this a 2-valve motor and I want it to be some what streetable
(preferabably pump gas), what compression do you recemmend, (1260cc), to
reduce detonation I can retard the timing as boost increases with the MoTec
software.
   Also will any great benefit be obtained with 1mm over-size stainless
intake and exhaust valves?
   Is there any advantage to having the combustion chamber and pistons
"coated" with the thermal barrier compounds that are available?( I live
about 10miles from a place that does it)

  regards
  Steve
