An asymmetric scroll compressor includes a compressor housing. An orbiting scroll member and a non-orbiting scroll member disposed within the compressor housing. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member each includes a baseplate and a wrap extending from the baseplate. The orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll member intermeshed to form a plurality of compression pockets. A driveshaft affixed to the orbiting scroll member and configured to orbit the orbiting scroll member from a first orbital position to a second orbital position. A communication port disposed on the baseplate of one of the orbiting scroll member and the non-orbiting scroll such that: in the first orbital position, the communication port communicates with a first enclosed pocket of the plurality of compression pockets, and in the second orbital position, the communication port communicates with a second enclosed pocket of the plurality of compression pockets.
