I am hoping to get some feedback in order to figure out what the problems might be with my car. I have a new engine with low compression pistons. The car is not performing well. The problems that I am currently experiencing:
My current setup:
NSX 3.0 rebuilt engine
JE low compression pistons
6 speed tranny
Comptech Autorotor supercharger, low boost
HKS exhaust
Topspeed headers
K&N Filer
The injectors have been checked and they are fine
The problems:
The car hesitates at low speed and low RPM (2000-3000). It also hesitates during acceleration in 2nd gear. If I step on the gas harder, the hesitation goes away. I feel that I have to step on the gas pedal hard to make the car go.
There’s surging at low RPM (2000-3000). For example, when I cruise on the highway in 5th or 6th gear at 60 mph, I feel the car pulling back and forth. I experience similar situation when driving on local streets in 4th gear at 40 mph.
Questions:
Does the car drive different when you have low compression pistons?
For those of you with low compression pistons, could you please describe the difference?
What are the problems with my car?
I appreciate any feedback that you have. Thanks
