^point proven exactly

Stupid pumpkin doesn't even know that other manufacturers made cars with the GTS appellation. Some of them were very large V8s. Like my Monaro. My 1971 Monaro. That I owned in the 80s.

Little boy should shut up, shouldn't he?

Um hate to break the bad news to ya matey but this is a Skyrine forum, not a holden forum... *facepalms. stop replying with crap and leave this forum to people who know whats going on, let this forum get back on track please no smartesness

no disrespect here, but GTSboy knows what he's on about !! If you don't know what your talking about you need to pull your head in and not look like a goose

:yes:

lol he knows what he's talking about? I've read both of your posts on a few threads and can tell both of u aren't smartest tools in the shed, again please don't confuse OP any more then he is. Just let the experienced guide him, cheers.

Gts4door is on the ball with the possible r&r theory as I took it for a drive today when she's on around 6 psi. Or what my boost guage believes is 6 psi. The car went really good good consistant power thru the rev range. No lag no flat spots/surging

Went like it should have. But I haven't touched the boost tee yet. It will only hit 9psi or so when I plant my foot to the floor. This run I just have it about 3/4 throttle

And as for lifter. Ill probably rule that out as it didn't sound like lifter. And only does it on boost if your off boost driving the car. Noth

It's a very quiet motor

Also guess while I'm on this topic I have my 32 a run tonight and now I've upped the boost it seems to make some weird whine up around 13 pound. I drive it on 10 daily. Only usually does it past 10 pound. It's like a really high pitch noise. It's intermittant at first I thought it was air getting in my windows. But this time they were down

Not sure if srs? GTSboy would have to be one of the most "switched on" guys on this forum...

Dude I had a similar noise in my R32, with stock turbo. Ran 12-14psi and it sounded like a cop siren when coming onto boost. I opted to swap to the RB25 turbo and noise disappeared (good bang for buck mod).

I just bought a s1 33 also and getting the ticking noise

It sounds like a manifold gasket to me

Or even to thick of oil. As soon as it gets to temp its gone so does not seem to be that bad

for the other issue your gearbox is not in snow setting is it

my kids where playing in the car and pressed it on snow without me knowing and man i thought the car was f**ked

Revving and going nowhere etc.

And i would check the plugs to i fouled mine in the first day i got it

Gapped some new copper ones to 0.8 and away i go

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
