As you know I have sucked water into my engine and it has lost compression on number 4 cylinder, its 160 vs 180 on the others, as well as sounding like there is something loose inside the engine.
Im not doing anything to the car until I have worked out what to do.

Currently my options are:

1. Fix only what ever is wrong with my engine and hope for the best. <92KW

2. Rebuild my current engine upgrading what ever parts that are possible along the way as well as balancing it etc. >92KW

3. Chuck a FS-DE in place of the FP-DE. (requires gearbox + brakes+ECU+new mags) <98KW

4. Import a FS-ZE and install that. (requires gearbox + brakes+ ecu+mags) >125KW

5. Import a FS-ZE and swap all parts possible into my block. Hope the ecu doesn't throw a complete spack.. >92KW

6. Get a second hand FP-DE and hope for the best. <92KW

If anyone can throw more ideas or knowledge on the subject please let me know.
