hi guys

im sure this has been covered countless times, but i got some funny reading and im just after a second opinion

Compression test values are as follows:

DRY TEST (no oil):

1 - 110 psi

2 - 105 psi

3 - 105 psi

4 - 100 psi

5 - 115 psi

6 - 100 psi


WET TEST (oil dropped in cylinder) :
1 - 120 psi

2 - 125 psi

3 - 105 psi
4 - 195 psi
5 - 150 psi

6 - 160 psi


the wet test threw me off about with how much variance there was, but as well as that it seemed quite low on the dry test
thanks in advance
cheers

ohh i forgot to mention its my mates r33 im looking to buy
just wanted to do a check before i commit....as far as i know it runs pretty sweet

Why did you test it? Any problems?

If not just drive it. People get caught up and just confuse themselves with comp tests.

if it runs well and doesn't blow smoke, don't worry about it.

btw does it have standard cams? the number are low but cams can affect that (and also the exact testing procedure of course(

nah all standard internally theres just a few basic bolt ons

im pretty well inclined to say its fine but i always like to have a second opinion when im unsure

Re The testing procedure - figures do not seem consistent (bad or good) - Dry V Wet variances. Readings on some are all over the place.

I'd have some one else who does this often re-test first. It's just too inconsistent.

Eg. cyl 4 has jumped 95psi

Variances

10

20

0

95

35

60

thats what i thought ...its a massive jump!!

i did use a second tester to check as well after i saw that to confirm the reading and sure enough it was dead on

ive done plenty of comp tests over the years on cars me and my brothers have bought and with the same test procedure id get pretty consistent readings...so id say ive an idea what im doing lol

this ones thrown me though....

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
