How the hell did you take compression out of the head?
according to the machine shop after all of the extensive head work was done the compression was a bit lower then 9:1. And with the thicker headgasket it dropped the compression even lower and i couldnt wait 3 weeks to get the headgasket i wanted to i just threw the stock gasket back on.
<<<<<still confused. I can't se how you can lower the compression by doing head work. You can raise the compression, but lower it? I dunno man, who is this machine shop?

dude you wasted soooo much ------ money on all that ----!!!

you shouldhave done mre research man. I feel bad for you. you need to scrap all that greddy ---- and go buy all custom parts, because you are robbing yourself of power. I dont know if I read correctly but your motor is fully built correct? which means you are capable of 400+whp with a good fuel system and a big *** turbo and a good intercooler. its time for you to go slang some ---- on ebay so you can make some power. you could run easy 11s on that block that you have if you just got a better turbo and a better fuel manegement system

I have never heard of that. Why would you want to go that route? That would be my last option to lower the compression.

Hmmmm...hopefully it was done by a knowledgable machine shop. I would imagine it would be very difficult to Joe Schmoe a new design in the combustion chamber to create more power?

do not post ---- you dont know about. The only reason why the greddy kit remains on the car is because the car had the greddy kit when i bought it. All the motor work was done afterwards and seeing as how i cant ---- cash i dont have the money to upgrade to a custom 3" downpipe, SST lovfab manifold, and gt28rs and complete e-mange or hondata. But those are the next plans for the car~~

but for now im stuck, i dont have any money to spend on fuel mangement and im striving for ideas. I may have to use the vafc hack for a month or two on like 10pounds until i can afford the complete e-manage system. Then ill be upgrading everything else. And the intercooler is being upgraded next week. Im ordering a 36*6 from johnnyracecar and selling the tiny greddy fmic.

And the motor was built at the best place in my state. They know what they are doing and the motor runs and idles flawless. The motor wasnt cheap and is built to run some really high ------- whp numbers, however with my limited cash for the time being im forced to run the tiny 15g kit and a shitty fuel mangement....and the car is a daily driver and neeeds to get me to work so i cant just leave it at a shop until i get the money to afford the new parts.

dude nigel stfu he has a very very nice setup that will hold together for a long time.

the emanage is a very solid system my friend is running something like that on his 400hp rx7. i think it even has data logging on it if i rember correctly. free install and cheap tuning is a damn good deal because good fuel management is nothing if you have a ---- fuel/spark maps.

if I were you I would run what you have now save for that emanage and install. then when thats installed and tuned max that turbo out at 15-16 psi. you have a pretty small engine, my d16a6 has a t3/t04e and its too big for most ppl's daily driving taste and more for racing. (exactly what I want)

Then when you get some funds later look for a good deal on someone selling a 16g or 20g/super20g, they should bolt right up to your exsisting manifold/downpipe. or go all out like you said with the sst/3" dp/gt28rs.

all in all in my opinion if you get the big fmic/emanage(dyno tuned)/20g or super20g you car will ------- rip.

my friends awd 2.0l eclipse with a super 20g @20-26psi is very fast, last time i rode with him we kept up with $100,000 porsch in a 130+ freeway pull.

Since the kit was on the car then its all good..but otherwise I would agree with nigel, buy your own parts, do it yourself, the homemade way.
