RB25 NEO not holding compression

Hi everyone, just bought a r33 gtst with an rb25 NEO swap off marketplace with about 60k miles. My main issue is that the all cylinders are 5-10psi below spec. Highest is 150, lowest is 138.

Didn't get any service records from the previous owner. Any ideas as to what might be the issue?

The car idles and runs pretty rough and I've never pushed it past 4 psi, if that helps.

Most likely the only issue it has is how the test was done, those results are fine. You need plugs out, wide open throttle and well charged battery probably with a booster pack when you do every cylinder. Even then 9.2% variance is not an issue

Yes. Agreed. Apart from one good data point I have (my Neo, tests on a trustworthy comp tester at ~170 psi on all 6) which shows that a healthy Neo can generate substantial cold comp pressure, there's nothing wrong with 140-150 psi.

As Duncan said, it could be a little worn, could be technique, could be a slightly low reading gauge, etc etc. 9% variation does suggest that some of it is wear, because clearly some have worn more than others.

Sounds fine to me, just send it with more boost to make up for the slightly below spec compression

What if the turbo is tapped out and it has nothing left to give? No point running a snail at half it’s capacity. It’s too big then. 🤷‍♂️

I think Johnny's next reply would be something about a 3.2 upgrade and Samsonas.

I feel this car needs a BMW GS7D36SG DCT and yes a 3.2L.

Should go well with a street Garrett G40-900 in full twin scroll form.

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
