it cant handle the compression.... its running 11.5:1 and the starter motor just dies... the map needs playing with still to make it start better but its pretty good.

would one off one of the turboed vaux not work, as they have to deal with a higher compresion ratio ????

turbos would run lower compression off boost

the boost creates high compression

i would also be willing to go with that, although the diesel ones may have a higher torque rating as they have to cope with silly compression ratios
