Welcome.

From the information previously stated here:

atmo bov should not pass,

ebc should not pass (remove the inside controller and likely to get through)

Timers should pass, might depand on how they are set up.

But I keep mine fairly stock, so haven't needed to do much with complying mods.

where abouts do you live, if its in belconnon ill come and have a look for you! if its the nhead gasket mightnt be to bad but there normally is a reason that the gasket went, which is what you have to worry about , make shaw its not running to much boost. good luck , stuart

the previous was sort of old and looked genuine as he bought an 34, i didn't check the radiator as the car went well, and had the correct support mods but the workshop that installed the engine were only able to give a safe tune to the car. the problem is the radiator has A LOT of black oil and i have lost some oil from the engine when i checked this afternoon.

comment removed, turns out that cooling system wasn't cleaned properly

Glad to see you got it all sorted out - and both of our minds are at rest.

Enjoy your new car man! and like I said when I sold it to you - get some new tyres!!!!! :blink: i don't want to see a picture of the car in a newspaper twisted around a tree... be safe, take it to a skidpan and learn the feel and responsiveness and you'll have some fun :)

cheers matey..

Thanks Theo

hey again!

similar to my last post, i was at Trojan today and saw the old beast sitting there... i had a look at the tyres and my goodness - well done on some good tyres... they looked great and would hold a fair amount of traction down..

you'll have to take me for a spin in it some time - would love to see how much power she puts out in a drive now that she has some good traction... grats :)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      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?
