I'm guessing at the end of the day, whatever the results the motor isn't going to be repaired to fix the compression issues ?

Be interesting to document the compression over a few months and see if it becomes more consistent

An update. A couple of days ago I put 20ml of Subaru upper engine cleaner into each cylinder and left it over night. 
The following day I went for a drive and tested it again, here are the results.

CYL1: 140
CYL2: 110
CYL3: 115
CYL4: 120
CYL5: 120
CYL6: 130

I came to a conclusion. I am just going to enjoy the car and not worry too much about it.

I have been a bit delayed in replying because I have been busy the last couple of days fitting the GT3076 back to the car, so I can just send it.

 The car will of course be getting a re-tune once its fitted, just for peace of mind.

CYL 1: 130
CYL 2: 90
CYL 3: 130
CYL 4: 80
CYL 5: 90
CYL 6: 95

CYL1: 90

CYL2: 85

CLY3: 90

CYL4: 90

CYL5: 100

CYL6: 100

 

CYL1: 145
CYL2: 115
CYL3: 120
CYL4: 125
CYL5: 130
CYL6: 142.5

CYL1: 140
CYL2: 110
CYL3: 115
CYL4: 120
CYL5: 120
CYL6: 130

 You would expect to see consistency between tests.  The overall results don't have enough of this IMO.  You are creating your own concerns.  Until you get this consistency, you don't know what your motor is like and are probably worrying over nothing..

Excellent choice.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
