BYP in Florida uses the standard 5EFHE CR of 9.8:1 on a all standard internal 5EFHE which is daily driven at 17PSI and at the track with C16 race gas 22PSI. At 22PSI with the race gas this engine makes 298WHP. On the two 5EFHES with forged pistons, one uses Pauter rods and the other uses Carillo rods with both engines running 9.0:1 CR.
The engine with the Carillo rods makes 311WHP at 24PSI on race gas and the engine with the Pauter rods makes 363WHP at 28PSI on race gas and this engine uses a pair of Web cams. The two forged engines have been balanced to 0 and they both use Aasco 200mm aluminium flywheels and ACT clutch kits without any problems. The 311WHP engine is daily driven on 93 Octane pump gas at 20PSI and the 363WHP engine has been run at 30PSI without any problems. The headgasket being used is the Toyota OEM factory head gasket as used on a '92 Paseo with new factory head bolts. All 3 cars are using 4EFTE ECU/distributor/coil & ignitor plus eManage Blue for the 298WHP & 311WHP cars and the Ultimate for the 363WHP car. All three cars rev to 7300RPM. The factory cranks are all standard not lightened or knife edged but balanced on the two higher horsepower cars. If the turbo Mini Metro back in the day used 9.0:1 CR I cannot see why with your better quality gas why you guys are scared of using this CR. If you are that worried you can also use water/methonol injection. It has been done guys and it works perfectly with proper professional tuning on the rolling road/dyno.
