next i would definitely go with rods pistons and a nice turbo cam(if you can get one for the y5 head.lol) but personally i would go with a little higher cr like 9.1 to 9.5:1. just for a little less lag and if you are on a budget i would consider the the vitaras from like ebay. their cheap and people are pulling over 400hp off of them and dont forget a good tune and your prolly going to have to swap to obd1 to be able to chip the ecu and have it tuned.... i hope i helped

EF9... the cam for 150 the guy said it should fit the y5 head... and the hx comes with a 9.5:1 compression stock and plannin on gettin another ecu soon.. need to, cant run on 250cc injections and the shitty obd2a ecu forever, even though its takin the turbo quite nicely... still. gonna get that **** soon hopefully (somehow haha)
