Thats from the extra 2 points of compression from carbon buildup on the pistons

Thats like saying your car runs faster right after a good wash and detail. But hey i stand by that one too. Butt dyno tells no lies.

Whatever it is, I know it was running hard. I eventually tore it down to do a refresh and higher comp pistons. Gotta go find another sludge motor somewhere.

I bought mine off ebay, jdm_texas (they are no longer a user).



I complained, they picked it up and sent me another one. This one came from Nagano.



Cleaned up well


Throttle body was nice and oxidized

Cyl #4 was nice and full of water

And valves for cyl #4 where nice and rusty.

Either way I'm not buying from any of those guys ever again.
