After seeing others' compression tests on RB25's, I really question wtf was up with mine.

I'll be sure to post it up later this evening when I can give exact figures, but mine varied between 125psi and 135psi dry (unsure if warm or not tbh)

It never burns oil. Oil level never drops between services (5 - 7500kms) and I had very minimal blowby. Am now running 15psi through it, and makes 285rwkw.

Either the test was done incorrectly, the pressure tester thingywatsit is faulty, or I have a rebuilt engine with lower compression. Sorry to hijack a brand new thread, but don't spose I could get any insight on my situation?

I'll be sure to get another pressure test+leak down done when I put turbo back on and take for retune - will be at a different workshop to the first test too.

i know what you mean Troy, when i drove from perth to gold coast mine used a bit of oil and i tested to find 125 on 1-5 and 6 was 120.was making 350rwhp at 16 psi. sounded low but even so kept driving. eventually opened it up and found 5 pistons had broken ringlands exactly the same size piece broken and number 6 had slightly picked up. apart from it using a bit of oil i always thought i had a rebuilt engine with low compression

Yeah it's odd. Regardless, I'll continue driving it as is and taking care of it, until shit hits the fan I suppose. Then off to Melbourne or Sydney for a rebuildz - which we all know is when the REAL fun begins.

Yes my vechicle doesnt use any oil either, although there was a little oil in the metal intake pipe just before the turbo comp housing. Other then that the car runs quite well, besides the boost tapering off in high rpm.

i hate hijacking threads.. i havent done a comp test but ive had a reletative compression test done (i have no idea what the difference is or if there is a difference in the comp tests) but the scale shows 0-100 on my print out.. All cylinders are 90 or above. No excessive oil use running 11psi.. no idea what power my car is making either.. I just assumed if its above 90 then it cant be alll that bad (the reason i ask is my mate said my engine is totally f**ked after reading the rel. comp. test)

sounds like you had a leak down test not a compression test, so those numbers are % not pressures.

People also have to remember that if you play with cam timing or you have different cams then comparing to factory compression figures will tell you nothing.

agreed, we gained 20psi compression just by setting the cam gears correctly after another shop set them wrong, went from 130 to 150psi on RB26

also, what kind of tester are you using?

My first tester said 120psi across all 6.

My Second Tester said 220psi across all 6.

My Third said 160psi across all 6.

As long as they are all within 5-8psi of each other.

If not, turn the boost down and wait for it to blow up gracefully.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
