hey guys my sr20det had a compression test done.... now apparently it dropped 50psi between cylindrs 1 & 2 im not sure of figures but assuming 150 to 100!

now my engine is in perfect running order, doesnt loose one drop of oil in 5000ks, doesnt blow any other smoke out the exhaust, other then black fuel! she drives like a dream and pulls really good power for its mods! iv never had an idle problem, starting problem or anything meachanically really, i was assuming the compression would come up trumps as i knew it was an a1 engine!!

now what the hell could be wrong with it, im sure its not piston rings at 50 psi loss!! is there anything else that would give me compression loss of that severity with no symptoms whats so ever!!!! any operator error taht could have caused this? i.s. mechanic was a nuffnuff???

help would REALLY be appreciated! and i will get a second opinion asap!!

yeah i know but im still worried that there is a problem now, should i take it easy, should i not run 1 bar etc? i just dont want it to go "bang" what other problems could it be... valve seals? (is there still oil loss with these?

and i wlways thought that with a 50 psi difference there woyld be some serious symptoms?? is this right?

i got the compression test re-done this afternoon, now the results are much better but i thnk thier all a little low!

cyld 1 128

cyld 2 125 *took a little longer to reach this figure, compared to the other ones**

cyld 3 128

cyld 4 128

these seem quite low to me, the car was at temp, and the throttle was fully open, cylinder 2 took a little longer to get to its figure to!! and i didnt disconnect the ignition either, would this give me low figures, and battery was struggling??? i dont know if these low figures are of a concern? anyone, im just now glad that there isnt a 50 psi diff betw 1&2

cheers guys

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
