1991 rx7 NA problems running rough no power

i went to go get it fixed because it had a exhaust leak then when they put the gasket inbetween the downpipe and the cat converter then i tried starting it and it would not start. I thouhgt it was the fuel injectors because my secondaries were already bad so i upgraded them to 550cc fuel injectors and i put a new fuel pump with a apexi afc fuel controller. i also have jacobs ignition. new spark plugs new fuel filter also. and it is still running rough. I checked the compression the first rotor had 85 psi and the second rotor was at 65 psi. what do you think my problem is?

I think your problem is low compression if those numbers are correct.

When you tried to start it did it crank but not turn over? I dont think an NA would need upgraded injectors with your mods but the SAFC may justify it if it has been dyno tuned.

Is your car running now? It could have just been flooded. How did you get it to start to get compression numbers?

it does start it just runs very roughly like a senser or something is bad the exhuast sounds different than before but it does not smoke at all. It sounds like the ignition timing is off or something i am not sure. i took off the egi fuse and put the compression on trailing for both.
