Not sure how your ECU will like the rise in the compression ratio though Perhaps an EDM ECU would sort it out but things may get complicated heading down that path - especially if this is only a temporary situation.
Im going to check the price of an OBD I FS-ZE +ECU+Loom tomorrow, im thinking thats the easiest way for more power.
I figure it would be harder to get the OBD II SP 20 engine into my car than it would a OBD 1 FS-ZE (hopefully just engine + ecu swap)unless I could just use my parts and sensors on a FS-DE.
I need some one in NZ to check the specs on wrecked cars for me.

Too many choices and I really don't know what to do!!
FP-DE FS-DE or a FS-ZE
