my gtr in 4wd dyno on 11th December and run 356.9 hp in 1 bar with bp98 ( Notice A/F Ratio is 10.4, very rich fuel).

when engine install, the compression test is ONLY 80, 85, 100, 100, 85, 85. It is very low compression.

engine detail is new re-build head with hks 256cams and hks valve spring, new valve. stock bottom end.

turbo is custom made. idel is 1000 rpm, very smoothly.

what problem will cause low compression?? valve bent or piston crack or piston ring or something else??

If it is the valve problem, can we see it from dyno?? I really want to know where is the problem.

thanks help.

How was the compression test done ? Hot / Cold ? Wet / Dry ? Has the compression tested been calibrated ?

test done by cold/ wet/ dry. I add 10ml in each cylinder and same result.... :laugh:

my friend's r32 gtr engine compression test is 150,150,155,155,155,150 when cold/dry)

yes, I want to know what problem with my rb26. head problem or bottom end.

already check gasket and no leaking, but vacuum is low...

if wet and dry are the same then bottom end is ok, sounds more like valves, try a leak down test,

do you have much blowby?

cause of this can be rings or burnt valves

Hang on, in your for sale thread you mentioned that your "tuner" ran the car up at 266awkw with an AFR of 15.2

After 3 months re-build, this morning my car doing dyno run for final tune in F.I.S.T. in brisbane.

unforyunately, cylinder# 1 was piston crank in dyno when they adjustable A/F ratio from 15.2 to 14.3... :O

before running in dyno today was 266awkw at 4 wheels in A/F ratio 15.2 ( too rich fuel) with 1 bar boost.

So which is it?

Sounds like you got fisted hard by 'F.I.S.T'

THIS IS MY MISTAKE BCZ I DO NOT KNOW AFR ON 11/12, I APOLOGIZE AND CLOSED IT.

SORRY, I do not want to fist hard for anyone, especially F.I.S.T. they were just tuner, not engine builder. no body know what will happen in dyno. I try to find out what problem for my engine bcz I already try to re-build again !!. If problem form head, I can sent it back to my head builder bcz it still have repair guarantee.

that's my mistake bcz I do not know about AFR until 12/12 I got dyno result. 11/12 my builder told me my engine broken one cylinder in dyno, when tuner try to adjustable AFR . This is the history:

I tow my car back on 12/12 and saw dyno result . the compresstion test was done on 04/12. we do not understand why so low compression and sent to F.I.S.T. to dyno check on 05/12. they said the in the dyno test engine looks good. I tow my car back on 07/12 and fixed the idle problem. then sent back again to tune. ths result I got was the 6th run, then engine broken in dyno........ :dry:

13/12 done compression again in cold/dry, the result is 0, 85,100,100,85,85.

NOW I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY IS SO LOW COMPRESSION. I DO NOT WANT SAME PROBLEM BCZ NOW I START TO TRY RE-BUILD IT AGAIN.

Those compression test results and AFRs are fine if you happen to live in bizzaro world. You didn't specify if you did in the first post so i thought i'd check.

My first post is my mistake bcz I do not understand AFR. THAT IS MY MISTAKE.

But If ur engine's compression is 85,85,100,100,85,85. would u think IT IS GOOD??????????????

I do not argue anyone, just want to find out what 's wrong with my engine, ok?? I do not want have same problem when some one re-build it again.

Dont rebuild your engine again unless you have probable cause to do so.

I thought I blew a headgasket, turned out to be something totally different... But in the process of diagnosing it I compression tested my motor. At wide open throttle when the motor was cold I got 80/80/80/85/85/80 on my RB20. There is no way I have EVENLY ruined my pistons on every cylinder. You need to look for even numbers, not the right numbers according to your buddies test. If the numbers are all even, chances are you're fine, and if they read low, its either how you're testing, or the guage. If they are dramatically different (ones really low, ones not) then you should be worried.

Do the test a few more times. See if the guage will read any higher. Try a different guage. If no changes, then I say dont worry about it.... you seem to be making some decent power, no?

With supposedly 80 psi compression in each of my cylinders, my motor has lost no power since it read 150 psi on all.... hmmmm....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
