I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Re: vitara pistons
well your compression is going to drop significantly but if you tune it right i dont see why it wouldnt run right.

Re: vitara pistons
You would lose a little power because of the lower compression, thats about it, it would run perfectly fine otherwise. Vitara's compression ratio is 8.5:1, stock pistons are around 9.2:1 i believe, not that huge of a gap. You could always have a few thousands milled off of your head to compensate if your that worried about it.

Re: vitara pistons
Incorrect fuel burn. However, I passed with mine. I just unplugged my ecu right before he tested it so the cel went away temporarily.
Re: vitara pistons

Re: vitara pistons
In Cali, they plug the machine right into the computer. pulling light bulbs doesn't work. the cel will show up anyway
