Hi all,

I had my r33 at wakefield park last Monday. She got very hot (i wasnt looking at the temp gauge) and I ended up splitting the radiator.

I have just done a compression test on the motor with the engine cold.

Clock has 115000 or so km. (Probably alot more in reality)

Can anyone offer any insight into the numbers?

Dry chamber left, wet (oiled) on the right

I am upgrading turbo from hypergear highflow to a 3076. Do we think she will be healthy enough to bat on?

Cheers guys!!

She'll be right mate. Could go for years with a good tune. Is the GT3076 a worthwhile upgrade? How much power are you making now and what is your goal for the 3076?

Oh I see you are making 287rwkw. Are you sure its worth changing the turbo?

Thanks for the input!

Yeah the highflow i have is one of the older 'PU' highflows (retains stock comp housing) It makes good hp but the 'area under the curve' and response isn't ideal for what i want. Im hoping that a BB centre and a larger comp housing will help this :-)

Upgrade to the 3076 is definitely worth while, and I'm not just saying that cos you bought mine!

Don't stress about those results man. Especially if you don't have a "before" result to compare to.

People put a lot of faith in the results for some reason, but it's not really worth it. Now you have a baseline to compare against.

I assume the engine still runs fine and seems fine? If that's the case it is fine.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
