Hey dudes, i just put together a fresh KA build. CP pistons + Eagle Rods + Machine work. I'll go more into detail, just ask. The pistons are .20 overbored and higher compression. 89.50mm (+.020" Overbore) 9.0:1 compression to be exact. Crank is micropolished and balanced. I'm pretty much running as stock as possible until the engine's broken in and i'm ready to go boost.

question.
-how should a higher comp motor be running on a stock DOHC ecu? it seems to bog out a TINY bit at higher rpm and i'm also noticing that the engine vibrates a lot more. is this normal to have in a built engine?

thanks for all the help guys.
 
ur compression is lower then factory spec wat do u expect ur runnin lower comp...
put the dam turbo on and enjoy....u spent too much already to be dissatified....boost it and then complain.....
 
hmmm i had no clue i actually thought stock compression was lower.
but i just wiki'd "KA24DE" and i know how everyone likes to bash wiki's info but according to them, stock compressions for s13 DOHC is 9.0:1...

and i don't have the boost to throw on it yet so it's gonna hafta be broken in w/o boost :/
