hey guys just put new split fire coil packs in my car and my mate did a compression test on my r25det s2 while he was at it

it got 150 - 150 - 150 - 150 - 100 - 150 - 150

he put oil in the bore and it went up to like 130-140 he said.

He is saying its probably the rings, but best to take it to a shop to find out.

what are my options? how much would it be for a mechanic to rip my engine apart find the problem and fix it?

budget is fairly limited, cheapest safe option here is what im looking for that will fix the problem.

any help / suggestions appreciated

id be checking it out definatly, its only gona get worse, all other cylinders read 150psi, and that one is 100. there should be only 10 percent variance between then in any case...

id be rebuilding it as its obviously not healthy. sorry to inform u mate...

The harder you push it, the worse it will get, you will end up with a massive blow by machine...

do a leakdown test as it could possibly be a bent valve or a head gasket problem... i think its not due to the comp bumping up with the oil test

Out a little bit of oil down the spark plug hole and run the test again.

If it comes up with 150, its your rings.

Oh. hahaha.. sorry.. I should start reading threads.

Yes. Rings it is

Yeah as said above, cheapest option if you don't want to rebuild it is to just buy another engine and then sell off your old one. If you can do the job yourself with mates over a weekend (it aint that hard), it will probably only end up costing you $1000 once you part of the old one.

We did it to my mates a month or so back.

where can you pick up replacement engines for that price? sounds good.. im just getting my engine tuned and gonna drive it til it doesnt wanna be driven i think -_-

i wouldnt mate, it will get so bad it will start to missfire badly, after this if u give it a good flog you risk blowing the oil up thru the breathers and leaving the sump with f**k all, it will spin a bearing and they you will be up for even more cash to fix it...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
