i think the intercooler would work better without cardboard masking taped in front of it it will get more air

how did you lower the compression?
pistons from a c20let engine?
or are you running stock compression.

is 9:1 if i'm correct?

i've built the same engine in my suzuki samurai, lots of power, and parts are cheap and available by the hundreds.

Aron popped over today , and we got some brakes working .. after fixing a few leaks i got a pedal , not 100% happy .. but seems somthing to do with rear setup.

but anyway .. did a few pre flight checks and took it for a spin , :
