ummmm..... i thought a 2L 16v's compression ratio is 10.0:1?
and the bently does seem to agree with me here.

      Still, the 1.8 G60 originally has CR something like 8.5. But having a 2.0 
      with the same CR would require more fuel at the given intake pressure 
      since 2.0 pumps more air through, and keeping the same chip will cause 
      lean mixture. Ok, it will try to compensate by Lambda signal, but will 
it? 
      With driveability I was thinking the low rpm, easy city driving. This is 
      importand since driving the G60 I find myself going to police department 
      more often. Why? If you go easy on G60 car, it feels too soft and weak, 
      i think of 8.5 CR with negative intake pressure (if we are going slow), 
      and to make it little quicker and responsive, you have to keep more RPM 
      what eventually leads to running faster, then G60 feels alot alot better 
      than 
      going slow. This all is subjective, but it is so. I want a car, which has 
      response even when I drive easy. I was thinking that tranny with 3.9 
final 
      could cure this.


    I forget what a 2.0 16v's stock C/R is but if its 9.5:1 or less id stick 
with 
    it, much more drivability for sure, thats what turbo miata 1.6s make more 
    power boost for boost and have better street response than mildly built 323 
    GTXs with the same basic block in them...a few of the GTX guys are planning 
    on going to 9:1 with miata pistons...if your engine can withstand the 
    horsepower level it yields you can run almost any boost level on any 
    compression ratio, its just a matter of having enough fuel and changing the 
    timing enough...hell they have a supercharger and turbo for the honda 
S2000, 
    i think its stock CR is like 10:1, personally id say for maximum 
performance 
    with great drivability and simplicity ditch the stock ecu idea and use 
    whatever big injectors you can make fit <something from the Porsche family 
id 
    imagine would make a good donor> and use a programable aftermarket setup, 
    once its dyno tuned professionally you'll have a very fast excellent 
running 
    car
