Hi

Did a search just before, didn't find the exact figure I was looking for, only peoples results with compression tests.

Just wondering what the standard compression is supposed to be on a R32 RB20DET?

I want to know the readings you should get on both WOT and closed.

Also what is the lowest to expect, and whats reasonable/safe for the age of the motor, mines done about 120,XXX KM's.

Will be doing one as soon as my car arrives home early this week.

Thanks in advance,

Abu

hahahaha..

3 replies, all way off one another..

just ge the test done.

if each cylinder results are close to one another, then don't worry.

if a couple is more than like 10% lower than the rest, then worry

Hahaha yep.

I was waiting for someone to reply with a definite answer, but seems as no one knows..

I searched for a while last night through the net and on the forums, but could only manage to get the same answers as above.

Yeah I know what your saying, but I sort of wanted to know how low is too low, and whats perfect, so I can sort of work out where mine stands in that comparison.

Ah well, will do it and see what I get!

Thanks guys,

Abu

120-130psi or less n i wouldnt be happy

130-150 is good

150-170 is excellent

like others have said, worry more about variance in the cylinders rather then the figures themselves

Thanks for that little table, thats pretty much what I was after.

Major variance in cylinders would definitely call for a bit of concern.

Thanks,

Abu

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
