Guys ,

Just had the above 2 tests performed on my car so i thought i would post up the results online to get some sort of feedback..

Compression Leakdown %

CYL1 135 PSI -- 15%

CYL2 145 PSI -- 11%

CYL3 135 PSI -- 27%

CYL4 135 PSI -- 24%

CYL5 140 PSI -- 16%

CYL6 140 PSI -- 13%

Cylinder 3 & 4 had higher % leakage indicating? valves etc

The reason for these tests are that i am blowing a bit of smoke under WOT (using oil) so I am trying to eliminate certian things. My Turbo is an SS1PU Hypergear so is less than 6 months old so maybe oils seals who knows.

Please provide any feedback you can...

Cheers Dazza

I would of thought that valve stems would blow more smoke at startup (Pease correct me if i am wrong though).

What are you looking at in cost to get the valve stems fixed?

Dazza

Standard should be 165psi, mine was all around 130psi ish before it was forgied. I had 5 out 6 pistons with cracked ring lands. They are now around 160psi after rebuilding.

Check the turbo for shaft play. If there are no up and down play with about 1mm side to side then it should be fine. I'm happy to go over the turbo for you free of any costs. You can drive pass if you are in Melbourne.

Actually i am not sure if they did the wet test ...

maybe Manny from CHasers could shed some light on this?

Dazza.

Stao , Might take you up on the offer to check the turbo though.....

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
