low compression pistons from a b16 run slower?

[Kseries04]

my friend has a b16 runs like a single cam. his vtec doesnt pull hard at all and it wa previously turboed. could that be why?

[panch]

could be dying from all the turbo abuse.

[RLA_EJ1]

If it has lower compression pistons that could be the reason...

[sir_ef9]

if it had low compression pistons and ur runnin on a stock ecu wouldnt it run rich ?

[sir_ef9]

or wiat correction wouldnt it run lean .?

but i think the turbo abuse is whats wrong more than anythin time to take it out and do a little rebuildin

[Kseries04]

naa.. but also his ecu is chipped and yea im pretty positive that migh be he reason y i just need some1 else's oppinion or some 1 that deff knows

[panch]

for what motor is the map on his ecu??

[sir_ef9]

chipped how,, mayve u fuked up there try getting a stock ecu and runnin it that way

do a compression test and buy a oil pressure gauge b16s need to have a certain oil pressure and tempture for the vtec to POP right or even for the motor 2 run right at all

[Kseries04]

how do you find out if ur running low compression or high compression?

[sir_ef9]

do a compression test either that or take the motor apart i think is the only SURE way

[Kseries04]

this is where he got his chipped ecu http://www.phearable.net/shoppingcar...vtec-p-31.html

that is one of those typical disabled, disabled, disabled, 9200 rev limit, ecus.. nothing but jumk, a stock map with everything on it disabled.
