hey guys, i have a r32 with rb20, i had a compresin test done last week, before i start doing anything major to my car....

results were

90 90 90 95 90 90

all cylinders are equal, but compression seems a little low... any one have any results from any other rb20's?? or any ideas as to why mine could be so low??

cheers

as long as they are within 10% of each other i wouldnt worry about it at all. they seem fine. The last RB20 i did wass a 40k import and it had 120 in all cyl's.

I wouldnt worry about it, just keep driving it

Throttle was held wide open during the test?

Gauges differ; its possible its just the gauge.

For what its worth my old rb20t when I bought the car some 6years ago had ~145 across all 6. 100,000km's later it was basically the same but with a slight variation.

    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 馃槢
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 馃槄 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 馃槀馃槀 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
