I wouldn't discount all those parts you've put together. Most have been proven successful in various applications on this forum. I think you still have sorting to do. Unfortunately that includes those compression numbers. I suppose a leak down would be next. But on a fresh engine I'd be a little concerned with the differences. It would be nice if you had a baseline dyno from a known entity (stock Miata) to compare your number.

I'll be brutally honest: those numbers are underwhelming to say the least for 17psi. When considering that this is an EFR on an FE3 the whole chart is very disappointing.
I'm thinking there's issues more than just the low compression here, but that is a hefty contributor. Bummer man, hope you can get it all sorted. I'm thinking a quick refresh of the head and re-ring/hone of the block would be the ticket to getting this thing back up to good health.

The video of this thing looks incredibly quick, not that a fast video has anything to do with HP but I wanna see what this thing car really do.

We should definatly see if my 9" 6uls clear your car its easy to run 2 autocross events every month here from March to September. You will also be ready for roll bar & hard top bolt in mounts to get out on track. Looks like front end pushed a lot during autocross need to unhook sway bar. We can go Tig your manifold mid morning Saturday about 9 am. Don't let my stock 1.6 scare you this week.

I got some new jeep CJ7 engine mounts in today. I'm hoping to get these new softer engine mounts put in while the car is down. Hearing the radio and having a conversation is a little hard with all the NVH from the poly engine mounts.
