RB25 run 9.0:1 static compression standard and have slightly higher compression figures because of that. Of a healthy engine you should be looking for 160-170psi. As long as they are all within 10-12psi it should be fine but with 90 psi you will be down a fair bit on power.

EDIT!!

Here's the figures from my manuals;

RBCompressionFigures.jpg

1.20 MPa = 12 BAR = 176.4 psi

1BAR = 14.7 psi

Standard: 176.4 psi

Limit : 132.3 psi

Difference between cylinders: 14.7 psi

Ive got between 80 - 92 psi on all 6 lol

need some advise,

the fan that sits onfront of the rad has the mesh around it..

does that need to be connected? mine is running consistanly and is pissing me off..

can i disconnect it?

thats the aircon fan mate, confirming you're talkin about the one thats in front (and by front we'd mean closest to the front of the car) of the radiator?

if so, definitely a/c fan, and its probably still sitting in front of the aircon radiator anyways (have you gone that extensive when the actual radiator was out, and get the other radiator (which tucks in under the rad support panel) out?

i still have all the air con connected.. but i NEVER turn it on...

just in the last week the fan has been on everytime i start the car..

wont turn off so i was wondering if i can unplug it?

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
