Compression Test Results

[Yeedogga]

Hi all,

I had my r33 at wakefield park last Monday. She got very hot (i wasnt looking at the temp gauge) and I ended up splitting the radiator.

I have just done a compression test on the motor with the engine cold.

Clock has 115000 or so km. (Probably alot more in reality)

Can anyone offer any insight into the numbers?

I am upgrading turbo from hypergear highflow to a 3076. Do we think she will be healthy enough to bat on?

Cheers guys!!

She'll be right mate. Could go for years with a good tune. Is the GT3076 a worthwhile upgrade? How much power are you making now and what is your goal for the 3076?

Oh I see you are making 287rwkw. Are you sure its worth changing the turbo?

Thanks for the input!

Yeah the highflow i have is one of the older 'PU' highflows (retains stock comp housing) It makes good hp but the 'area under the curve' and response isn't ideal for what i want. Im hoping that a BB centre and a larger comp housing will help this :-)

Upgrade to the 3076 is definitely worth while, and I'm not just saying that cos you bought mine!

Don't stress about those results man. Especially if you don't have a "before" result to compare to.

People put a lot of faith in the results for some reason, but it's not really worth it. Now you have a baseline to compare against.

I assume the engine still runs fine and seems fine? If that's the case it is fine.

If you drop a cylinder then you worry haha
