7.5.1 comp ratio
 

can i even use this setup? i have already put the motor together can i still obtain decent hp numbers with this setup and geta better head later...ie y8?

Re: 7.5.1 comp ratio
 

yeah you can use that, but if your looking for decent numbers all motor wise then start over

boosted it will be ok not the best but do able. 1st gen eclipses have like a 7.8 cr so it is possible to make big power on a low cr but it will take longer to spool the turbo and will be slow as ---- off boost

Re: 7.5.1 comp ratio
 

What setup is that?I assume you have already hunted down the thinnes head gasket you could find as well?

Re: 7.5.1 comp ratio
 

Well the good new's is you can run a ton of boost on crappy gas and still make some good numbers.

well here is the other problem TIMING...lol...so i just dropped my a6 a full 2 points of cr...so i should double timing correct...it would make sense....the motor only runs on 32-35 degree of timing? so wtf?

Re: 7.5.1 comp ratio
 

I cant say for sure with your set up, but I have a low compression motor also. I have the timing at stock N/A and run over 17psi with out getting any knock on pump gas.

Re: 7.5.1 comp ratio
 

yeah then why wouldnt mine run on na timing....it misfires and shakes and ----...lol...i guess maybe i should try cam timing retard my cam until i can get the dizzy close to stock na timing?
