fyi, wiseco does not make a 9.0:1 piston

1.) What is value upgrading from the stock pistons with only 250whp. I know the rings don't like that much but can't you just install better rings? Stock pistons and some descent RODs and this could be a done deal. Am I missing something?
2.)What with the big(er) turbo why didn't you use the GT2560R to hit your goal?
3.)Reading this thread I have to ask why didn't you go with a supercharger instead of a turbo to avoid lag?

The corrado made lots more power naturally aspirated in the lower rpm range than it did with the turbo and low compression motor.

2.) Corky recommended it since its a track car
3.) because no one would sell me a mp62 with no electronics, and they typically don't make as much power as I want until they spin a high enough RPM to have reliability in question

because more exhaust energy would hopefully get the turbo spooling sooner. Are we sure that the 4% rule is a linear relationship to RPM? I seriously doubt it is.
The corrado made lots more power naturally aspirated in the lower rpm range than it did with the turbo and low compression motor.

Drive a 1st gen DSM, 7.8 compression. No lag.

See Foundsoul's recent dyno chart. His powerband is huge, with only 1600 cc's of fury to spool his 2560. You'll have 1900 cc's on a 2860. Should be comparable in terms of spool, but you'll have more power everywhere. You'll have a better head too.

PAT! - I'm kinda gonna call BS on the eclipse I've had both 6 and 7 bolt GSX eclipses 14b and t25 and they were both kind of dogs down low. Don't get me wrong they could get going and porting, upgrading piping, manifold and downpipe helped. But it still took a bit to get going from below 2500rpm. Once the motor was around 3500rpm a jab of the throttle would create a possessed monster I'm sure you know all about that. I miss those cars....
Miata is better though

even the newer evo's suck ***** out of boost, and they're at 9.0. I'd like to know if anoyne has ever tuned an 8.6:1 motor to not drive like ****. I'm confident in my road tuning ability to make it work, if its possible.

And for what it is worth, tuning eliminates that sluggishness...
Also, MKIV Supras have 8.5 stock... as do GENIII 3sgtes (MR2, Celicas). Neither of which are slouches.

I had a 88 300ZX Turbo. It was 100% stock. 8.3:1 compression and it spooled at 3500. With some aftermarket parts and a new ecu, it would probably spool closer to 2500. It made decent power before it spooled. I wouldn't say it drove like ****. The turbo could have spooled sooner.
How a car drives is not controlled by compression alone. 0.4 points of increased compression will not make a ****.

Define "drive like ****". If after tuning the proposed 8.5 motor with a standalone you can't get to within 5% of a completely stock car you don't need to be tuning it yourself. And if you expect your off boost power with your turbo set-up to exceed the power it made NA than you have unrealistic expectations.
And it itsn't all about peak numbers, but throttle and transient response will all come down to the tune.

My turbo spooled to 12psi @ 4.4K
it now spools to the same at 3.4K. I shaved 1000RPM off the spool with exhaust and mild headwork alone.
and it's a 1.6L and has a bigger turbine than your 2860RS IIRC.

Using the 4% rule. Assuming you make 250whp with 9.0:1 ratio pistons.
9.0-8.6=0.4 This is the change in compression
.4 X 4%= .016 This is how much power will change.
1-.016= .984 This is your new power factor.
250whp X .984= 246whp with 8.6:1 compression. That's a 4WHP difference, which would be almost undetectable.
