Air leak after the air flow meter?
Insufficient fuel pressure?
What's the base timing set at (with the pins connected in the diagnostics box)?
Are you using the correct timing mark on the crank pulley?

Re: NA8 Pre Ignition
When it was stock my NA8 absolutely refused to run on Shell V-Power. It would ping and miss for 200km then stop dead with hard little black nodules all over the spark plugs.

It is the painted one on the left which should be used for timing.
