Had the car checked over by someone local as i didn't want to drive it far.

What i got back was the 6th cylinder on the rb26 was gone, that piston had melted

compression was somewhere in the vicinity of 150psi on first 5 and 30psi on the 6th

I need to put into an actual workshop where they deal with things like this.

anyone have any ideas or experienced this before..

bare in mind i've changed the plugs already and checked the coil packs. thanks

Well yeh i guess i wont until until its fully taken apart or some pro looks at it.

i got told that it may even be the bearings or rings...

so lets see how it goes.

if anyone has come across the same problem just pop me a message here so i can have better idea of the issue.

thanks

cheapest option is what jez said, but if you want to build a motor get it pulled out and send it to paul at red r in newcastle he did mine and it is giving me no hassles and he wont get you to buy things you dont need

just kep driving until it wont drive, then rebuild.

i had 150 on cyl 1,2,3,6.

had 100 on 4

and 50 on 5

for about 3 years.....

wasn't too bad.

but, if undriveable, go a second hand engine, maybe even a forged bottom end in the forsale thread?

^^^ Interesting....What was the cause?

When I rebuilt, it didn't look too bad.

Apparently, the cylinders had taper, so I'm putting it down to that.

Had a slight miss at idle.

A very slight vibration under load at LOW rpm.

But when you were up it, couldn't tell.

Cylinder

1 - 170

2 - 170

3 - 168

4 - 170

5 - 165

6 and 30 psi ( 45psi wet test )

slight crack in the piston 6.

dont have the time to be running everywhere

any recommendations or anyone willing to give me an exact diagnosis and quote to start it getting fixed.

i was going to put it up for sale before this shit happened.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
