Im gana pull the RB25DET out of my R33 no 1 cylinder is down to 90psi and i have bought a new motor at the right price.

U can see the motor running in the next week or 2 if u are interested in buying it.

The motor has done 92,000km may only have a blown head gasket.

Im after $1000

pm me for more info

Thanks

sorry my bad

Its a long motor all the manifolds are being used on the new motor may come with the coils have to see whats on the motor when it gets here in the morning will let u know but at the moment its a bare long motor

The car was put upto 16 psi and now it gone down to 90psi so it may be the headgasket but i have a worked motor to put in that i got at the right price so im not gana bother with it.

i know they sell for more but im after a quick sale there isnt any oil in the water and the oil is cream so yeah hard to say. But it is still running in the car on low boost runs sweet still so it can be seen running in the car in newy if sombody is keen cheers

dont talk shit, it wouldn't be the head gasket if only one cylinder has low comp. its not a bigg daddy truck where each cylinder has its own head gasket haha

1 wat to find out what it is pull the head off could be a burnt valve leaking valve could be anything but all i know is its still running fine in the car

of course it's possible,each cylinder has a round ring that seals the two mated surfaces(head to block),if you break the integrity of the ring it allows leakage of compression on that cylinder....the other sealed cylinders are unnaffected.(this i know from experience by the way)

it is possible that the piston ring may be cracked,you can exclude this by squirting some oil in the spark plug hole and immediately doing a compression test,if the compression goes up the chances are it's a piston/ring problem

it is possible that the compression is leaking into the water jacket via the headgasket,would get worse with more boost,may show up by overheating,pressurising the cooling system,rough idle on start up first thing in the morning(water leaks into the cylinder overnight and fouls the plug)

if it's a small leak it is unlikely to account for a big drop in compression,best way is to test it with an S-TEK tester that is very sensitive to carbon monoxide in the coolant(even if there are no symptoms),costs about $80 from auto parts store eg coventrys

if its a burnt valve you may hear it popping from the exhaust on heavy decelleration

obviously head off is the best diagnostic route,but the above would take less than 1/2 hour to perform and give some indication of the problem

good luck with the sale

    • Hey guys Long time lurker, I daily a nm35 stagea 250t rs four and I've had it for almost 2 years (very reliable 👌). Issues or just looking for information ill always find myself here having a read, so thought id join.  3inch stainless intake, pod filter, AM performance turbo dump pipe, 3inch hotdog, 3 and half inch stainless to 3 and half inch AM performance blast pipes. Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor. 
    • wedding eh.....I seem to get to more funerals than weddings or christenings these days....
