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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
