Time for a rebuild....again...

Now the hard part, choosing pistons.

Wiseco
CP
Toda even?

WHICH ONE?!?!
So the low compression was caused by the cap at the tip of my fuel injector popping off into my cylinder, causing the o-ring to be pushed out. It was dumping fuel like a mad man. I retested and its at 145psi. Still almost 30psi lower than the rest. I might get lucky and only need to replace the rings.

Monday i drop her off at DriftSpeed in LA for Koji to work his magic.

Parts list-

OEM conrod and main bearings with WCP coating
OEM Thrust bearings
*IF needed-CP pistons with top and side coating
OEM master gasket kit.
ProFab intake gasket
7-layer exhaust gasket
Apexi metal HG
Apexi AVCR (got a screaming deal on a bnib black edition)
ARP headstuds
Brand new AAC valve
Brand new Water pump
RPS CYN-R-G flywheel
Competition Stage 4 sprung clutch kit
Nismo 740cc injectors
Circuit Sports engine mounts
Nismo tranny mount
GlowShift boost and EGT gauge
JWT S3 cams
Tomei Rocker arm stoppers

And thats basically it. Still don't know if I want to be a ricer and route my external dump tube through my hood lol.

After all is said and done I want to set the gt2871 to 20psi and see what happens. But in the end I might go with 18psi for longevity.

All i want is a solid 380-400rw.

Wish me luck!
