hks a good choice for filter or is beter to let my kn in box ?

what is a spoon compression flange? Are you talking about a Spoon headgasket?

A difference of 15psi isn't tooo bad, not good but not bad, but when did you take these compression numbers?

it's possible that your numbers are off because the piston rings haven't seated well enough so your numbers are a little off?

A good exhaust manifold for the B16A, I'd probably look at Spoon, Toda, possibly the Mugen gymkhana, T1R 4-2-1 Other

Great for mid-rangepower and preserves enough torque so you don't have to be revving the **** of your motor during daily drives just to get the optimal power But that's just my opinion

your rings probobly arent' seated yet.....but if they are I'd say that you machine work and ring chioce were off

hmmmmm the rings was builded from the previous user of the car as a buy it used ......i put double valve springs and v tec springs my head was mess of from bad head work so i tried to fix it again.and yes spoon head gasket........what else is next move now exept cams ?

amid

somebody told me that i can drop a mugen head ..is it true ?
with my factory set up is it a good move ?
the big cone filter like hks is a good choice or beter keep my stock box with kn ?

why would you do such a thing? new rings don't cost that much. you should have bought brand new ones for the rebuild.

they were probably already warped and leaking a little compression. which would explain the slight difference fro the compression readings. they are only going to get worse. rings don't exactly fix themselves over time.

really? DAMN, no wonder my motor sucks hahaha
