hey as a few people may no i turboed my na in january, its been in and out of the tunners just fiddling with it,

Anyways the car has been running really well but for a little while it was running really rich so today i though i would check and re-gap my plugs and do a compression test,

1= 140 2=130 3=140 4=140 5=150 6=160, i though that was pretty normal no probs there the second cylender the spark plug gay was a little out i dont know if that could have done anything to make the comp a little lower but ey its not to bad anyways

i think the 160 was rounded up a little my mate had the gauge, ok well stupid me i was reading around 2 things i may have done wrong, the car wasnt at operating tempreture so i dont know if that changed the restults but its ment to be at opperating tempreture, and when we were doing it we had one of the push in gauges insted of a turn on one and a little bit of air may have escaped we werent being very accurate just wanted to see if anything seemed way out

ok i take that back.. they arent all over the place..

they are decent... although i suspect that they've been rounded off to the nearest 10.

20-25 apart would make me personally unhappy. i'd be aiming for +/- 10.

here's an idea of other peoples:

yeh i think there was a bit of rounding i didnt see the gauge, cars runnings great thou so cant complaine and hey if i blow the rings gives me a reason to rebuild lol, im picking up a daily driver next week so i can afford to have it off the road if something goes wrong

Did you change injectors?,I have put a stock turbo on my na also & it runs pretty good as well.All I did was bolt on the standard turbo & intercooler & didn't change the computer or injectors & I think the injector might be to small so I would like to get some new ones before I spend money on a tune/remap etc

Does anyone know what size the stock na injectors are.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
