they r good. period.

seriously...they tune cars well. one thing i learnt from them is that my spark plugs should not be .85 but 1mm or sumthing like that.

had them do my servicing three times n my car's running well. plus they installed all the mods n tuned my car. ask slip or abu53 how it goes.

why cant we go into details? is this the case? could someone explain to me why? correct me if im wrong, but this is a discussion forum for discussions right? is it because a business name is involved? we talk about getting bad batches of fuel from shell, bp or whatever, and no one seems to mind. they are actual experiences and not something we whipped out of our arses. rb26 speaks highly, i speak highly, and im sure many speak highly of chapmans, but if the people who have had bad experiences, can't share their experiences isnt the story a little one sided? we may as well all be making statements instead of asking questions and having a DISCUSSION! so please, for those that have had a bad/good experience, PLEASE DISCUSS!

rb26's car goes like a rocket, very smooth (except for the clutch)

Atomic, no no no. If we have ph and hungry6, part of SAU, posting on SAU forums saying negative things about a workshop, theres a whole lot of SAU in there. We do not want bad relations with workshops ESPECIALLY in this instance, where there are obviously a number of happy customers. We keep it in PM and email in this situation. You would be very unhappy if you were the workshop concerned, they probably have no idea about this thread, and therefore no chance to reply. If they did it would most likely get very messy if people less controlled than ph and hungry6 were involved. This has happened more than once in the past.

ph and hungry6 - thank you.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
