Compression Test Results

And yes the 6th cylinder was 150 too (sorry guys).

And yes we did try a "wet test" with a t-spoon of oil and the compression improved. Rings it is. Rebuild away! I am considering a swap with a R33 RB26.

Depending on how much oil you put in, it will always give you more compression ( the chamber will be smaller with a tablespoon of oil). If you put oil in the good cylinders you will get a better ( higher) reding as well.

My guess is you have a busted ringland on number 3 , a leakdown test will confirm though.

Hey all,

Just want to ask if the following compression rate is normal? I'm just getting in skylines and am looking to get one but don't know too much about the mechanical side of things.

1. 120 2.122

3. 120 4.125

5. 125 6.120

The car is a '90 R32 gtst, RB20, with the only mods being pod and exhaust. Btw what is the normal range for the compression rates or does it depend on variables?

Cheers!

Got mine tested on saturday, every cylinder got 105psi.

i have a 33 gts-t with minor mods and those figures seem VERY low :unsure:

things is though, its not running rough, doesnt use excess oil, no smoke, cold start is fine. :P

can anyone help me?

ok so i guess that 130,130,125,130,130,130 is at the limit for a rebuild on a rb25det.

wet test was fine

edit

further inspection shows that comes standard with 9.1psi, think this test sits around 8.9psi so cant complain

from what i know, those results aren't to bad, because there quite even the whole way across.

Tested my comp yesterday

1 135

2 125

3 125

4 125

5 130

6 130

motor rb20det test done at 71degree water temp, 520rpm, fuel pump off, cam timing should be standard but not sure

No. 1 is the one im worried about because the spark plug and piston had oil residue on them

time for a rebuild :)

results will vary depending how you do the test: eg the engine is at opperating temp, and throttle body wide open, or if the engine is cold etc etc

140 across each pot is good, at least there all even results :)

my cold fully forged rb30det runs 95psi in each cyl when cold and 120 each cyl when warm.

engine has done 15000km's and showed these readings from the start. (Low compression for big boost)

    • Yours would only have been worse, because I've spent 2 weeks cleaning mine. And yet it barely looks any different... Ha ha ha The work bench is unusable as things are stacked so high on it, as it down each walk way between the cars. And on one of them. And inside the other... And under one of them... These days when working in the garage, I need to roll the Subaru out. Because the "workshop" portion is just so full of stuff... To do anything means to move lots of stuff...   But I recently got rid of a full rack of fish tanks, and a few more. Then have started just throwing shit that's actual rubbish. And trying to sort everything else! Ha ha ha   Needing to move the Lathe into its proper spot, and then move all the other gear like the press, compressors, welding trolleys.   And let's not talk about the camping gear... I want to get rid of it, the GF wants to go camping... I think I'm getting to old to want to camp these days   Oh, I also evicted a few things, like the motorbike outside ages ago too! Ha ha ha This is all in a 6x9
