nah not yet but the fuel pressure was all good when we tested it I have put in an safc2 so I can watch for knock... it just hard to look at cause it doent always happen just every now and then! or it will happen like five times then clear up?

the dyno sheet would show if it was actually leaning out, otherwise you are guessing. if it does show this then the things to check have already been mentioned, otherwise get someone to look at it before you break it.

yeah I would guess a fuel pressure problem - put a gauge on it and make sure you are not short of flow up high. dying fuel pump, fuel pump wiring, blocked filter etc etc etc. some of the jap ecus are a bit leaner than we like but they should not be causing it to ping all the time

Check your TPS.

If it isn't working properly, then you will lose the throttle enrichment, hence, a lean out when you first step on it.

Also, earth the fuel pump as mentioned.

Throw some new plugs in it gapped at 0.8mm

Clamp the return from the fuel rail, that will tell you if the pump can't keep up or the fpr is screwed.

I had the exact same symptoms, mine was a torn diaphram in the fpr so it was leaning it off all the time, as well as a fuel pump with ~10v at it when at full throttle.

      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.

      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?
