I am running 9:1 Wiseco's. A really good machine shop would have measured each individual cylinder and machined the bore accordingly, not just simply .40 over. But, Wiseco's are made to very tight tolerances and I didn't have any issues swapping out a set of Wiseco's with another after my block was bored.

10:1 plus a turbo is not impossible, nor unheard of. I'd think you'd want a full standalone with a great tune/tuner though. But, I think you are just running a GTX ecu?

no just a apexi safc piggy back thing with the stock ecu

Yeah, I don't know whether that'll be good enough for the 10:1 pistons + turbo since you won't be able to do any ignition timing adjustments.

no i meant dont install it cause (IMO) its ugly and its going to make your car look like Rice O Roni

[pumer1904]

Bro a stock bumper CUT UP to hell loks better than that FAILED piece of plastic.....just save up for a good one

[pumer1904]

lol i think that bumper would look alot better than the stock lol and i have seen it on the car already since i pulled it from a escort from the jy and it look great to me different strokes for different fokes lol

[Turpro]

Sorry to hear about having the wrong pistons. At least you caught that now before it was in

[pumer1904]

yea i learned my e-gay rebuilt head had to intake cams and i had the wrong piston head now i just got to dissasemble everything and redue it all but now i need to get rid of the psiton heads i have now so i will have the money to get the right heads

[pauls323]

sorry about the double post picture thing

yes the intake mani and the cam gears are powder coated got from steve

the bumper i believe is a andy front bumper i found the bumper in the jy one day on a 2ndgen escort but the 1.9l mode and i have the 2nd gen gt 1.8l bp in mine so i pick it up for 40 dollers at the jy spent 10 dollers on sand paper and bondo and paint and a little bit of time still got to weld some brackets onto the front mounting pices to finish mounting it cause i got it on but it had a half inch gap and wasent flush and that was my first tyme trying to mount the bumper

right now im going with a vj-11 to break in the engine but awaiting my t3/t4 exhaust mani to arive for after the engine is broke in i still have more parts just was being lazy on taking pixs since im not at that stage yet and awaiting my arp head bolt kit

thats the same front bumper i had on my 323
its a blackwidow front i had to cut the **** outta it to fit it on my 323 since i took it from a acura legend

But if your lucky enough, if your run into a mercury tracer LTS model in the junkyard; I would get that front bumper instead. That front bumper cover you have looks a little shaky, it wouldn't match the curves of the car.
