M20B25 block, M52B28 crank, 130mm rods, stock M20B25 pistons.
My math says piston should be 0.5mm below deck at TDC. This is #1 at TDC. Doesn't look below deck.

Dyno tune for sure. Back to Roman at Boost Logic. I ran into him yesterday dropping off the downpipe for its GT30R refit at an independent TIG shop. He was happy to see us going GT30R. Haven't told him...

Right. We're at 150 psi static compression.
This is a great post. Totally changed my thoughts on the head gasket. Called VAC back and changed to a 0.040. Should have a 10:1 compression ratio...

We're running an 885 head with 284/272 cam, 0.050 lift over stock. Pistons are 0.5 mm below head deck due to 130mm eta rods. Measured 0.150 clearance (clay) piston to valve. Sounds like we could go 0.050...

I was concerned about detonation at high boost so went 0.120 on the first build. Like you said, wasn't an issue at 7.8. So we're back to 8.3 with the 0.98. Should make over 300HP at 10 psi. What are you...

We could drill it, plug and grind holes but that sound like a PITA. Going with the modified cast pan for now. Long term I'm going to scan a pan flange, recreate in CAD and do a custom pan

MLS head gaskets
Where is everyone getting their M20 MLS gaskets?

It's a vacuum and afr thing. The stock throttle body has inlets between it an the MAF, one of which goes to the valve cover. Open the oil cap and you change the volume of air from head to intake manifold...

We started with good compression on #1
