Hmmm.. I dont think it's a fantastic result.

I got my RB25DET done when I bought my car (57,000km's) and I got 160 across five cylinders and 150 on the other.

Yeah I heard that it's consistency that is a good thing, but the higher the better I think?

The guy who tested it (Unique Auto Sport in Castle Hill) said that they have tested heaps of RB25's and mine was up there as one of the highest they'd seen. I have heard a lot of people testing down around 140, but never as low as 125.

I'm not sure what the implications of this are though. Sorry I cant be of much help either...

well, i dont know what to think right now, maybe i didnt do the comp test correctly...but its even across all cylinders to the lb, so i think its all good...the engine has been very well looked after, i just did it out of curiosity...try it again tomorrow, getting a rollcage fitted so maybe they'll point me in the right direction as what it is...

125 isn't perfect but still in the reasonable limits. It's good when all the cylinder have lost compression equally, but losing compression doesn't mean a real lot as it's turbo, the turbo's will always have less psi than a N/A engine. I don't own an RB25 though but this compression is good enough (not great) for a turbo engine

Cheers

theres no smoke or oil used, the turbo seals are blown out but driving off boost it doesnt smoke at all, power is still fantastic...i have a feeling the low readings were because my battery is ratshit...like i mean..if you start it and stall the car, be prepared to push it..that and my throttle body was closed...

Looking at my spark plugs, theyre almost brand new still, no buildup of anything at all, engine overall seems to be running brilliantly. Must have been the way i did it...

BTW, sorry nismoid...i searched but i didnt get a straight answer to what i was looking for so i posted a new thread...my bad...

I wouldn't have thought this is much for an rb25, but I have heard that an even spread across all the cylinders is more important.

My rb25det from a 97' s2 r33 has between 153-160 across all cylinders, being the lowest and highest from all readings.

125 sounds a little low, but if the others say its ok if it aint using oil and water etc, then i could be wrong. Possible try testing another one if you can, just for reference.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
