On a warmed engine with all sparkplugs removed, with accelerator fully depressed and a charge on the battery capable of cranking the motor at 300rpm.

RB20DE/T/26DETT

New = 170psi

Low Limit = 128psi

Max cylinder difference 14psi

...from engine workshop manual.

I just got the reply 210. Cold. Does this mean the head has been shaved previously

No as the comp ratio doesnt effect the compression test. it just ensures the rings and valves are sealing as they should.

Def 200 all round with snap on gauge and warmed engine. With researsh this proves the comp ratio therefor is 10:1. As for the knob who said the comp is not relayed to the ratio. Actually write out the equation.

Settle down. explain to me how an engine when built has a certain compression test result, then when worn had a lesser compression test result? Did it's comp ratio drop? can you run more boost cos it has less comp ratio? NO. explain how comp ratio effects the comp test results please :)

Well personally I would have though it was obvious that the higher the compression ratio the higher the expected compression test result . The value of the compression test for measuring wear depends on knowing the original compression so as above if the stock factory figure was 170 psi then yes 130 psi indicates a lot of wear which can be confirmed with a leakdown test. My engine had 130 psi compression when built because of the choice of pistons (CR about 8:1) and leakdown test is within limits at 5%

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
