ey guys,

did a compression test today, however, i disconnnected every hose when i removed the intake manifold and removed all the spark plugs, then i performed the compression test.

Cylinder:

1. 146 PSI

2. 145 PSI

3. 147 PSI

4. 145 PSI

5. 146 PSI

6. 145 PSI

i dunno wat the go is.. And is this the way u do a compression test or not? by removing all park plugs and then cranking it?

ok....so keep all plugs in, take one out, test it, then put it back it, then take the next one out and test it yer? do i loost compression when all spark plugs r out? coz i just cranked it till it popped...

Depends on how your gauge reads dude. A lot of low qual gauges about that read way off.

Also rb20 donk is fairly low comp I'd expect 130 - 150.

You look more for variation. The readings on your engine are awesome !!

around 150psi is normal for the age the engine,manual specifies 170psi with the limit value (lowest) 128psi, the variance limit shouldnt be more than 14psi beween cylinders

u should have the engine close to operating temp at least, remove ALL plugs, attach gauge to cylinder (screw fitting is the better ones), depress pedal FULLY u must have WOT, crank till needle stops moving which should be about 7 engine revolutions, then record ur readings,

urs seem good not much variation which is good

im not sure if the readings will be lower or higher when stone cold as i have only done it when at operating temp.

maybe someone can verify that as my engine is not finished yet to be running

cheers,

brad

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
