S5 components into 86 GXL - ECU Probs ?
I'm having a engine put together with bits and pieces of s4 and s5 engines combined, S5 side and intermediate housings, s5 rotors, s4 rotor housings, and S4 intake manifolds. Now I'm wondering after its been all set to get put together... will the ECU be pissy with the motor due to the increase in compression ? And if so how can I correct that ?
Also anyone else see any foreseeable problems doing this combo ?

You'll need the S5 flywheel and front counterwieght as well to keep the engine balanced (the S5 rotors are lighter than the S4's). The ECU will be fine.

if you could just change the flywheel to a lighter one and with the lighter counterweight.. does it really matter what flywheel you have on there if the counterweight co-responds ?
