Ok, we're starting to assemble the block now, I'll try to give as much details as I can:

block is from a 90's cressida, so no oil squirters, bored +.020, surface was cut .01 of an inch when it was decked. 1.2mm HG from HKS, JE Pistons from Titan with 9:1 compression ratio, Eagle rods, arp head studs...

Am I in trouble with too high compression? This is supposed to be a daily driver/weekend warrior kind of combined. Running pump gas. My supporting mods right now are Lex AFM, PTE 550cc injectors, walbro fuel pump. My tuning is done with a PFC Fcon. also got PLX wideband AFR gauge.

1. How much does no oil squirters affect the engine?

2. How's it look first glance with my compression ratio. I am thinking low boost until AFPR and timing control, and maybe maft pro?

I know detonation becomes a serious problem at higher compression ratios, esp. with pump gas.

thanks...

The oil squirters are going to affect cooling and to some extent boost levels. On a stock CT26 I suspect you should be fine.

Someone more expirienced/smarter than me needs to chime in about the CR/squish area you have created. First glance tells me you are a little high.
