So, as you can see I've got alot of goodies for my car, I'm still installing some of these parts as we speak. Before I started to do the upgrade I did a compression test to check the condition of the engine. I followed all of the guide lines for the test to get the most accurate reading (trust me, I've done my research)
So heres the results: C#1= 165psi C#2= 145psi C#3=151 C#4=165 @110,000miles
So how does it look? I know the sevice limits is 133 psi, and they're aleast still within 20psi of eachother. I also checked the the low cylinders with a wet test to make sure it wasn't a valvetrain related problem, and the test showed it was normal ring wear. So, whats your guys opinion? I know with these mods I came gain a good increase in Hp, but I'm going to keep it consevative till I get a rebuild, or a low millage engine. I'll be keeping the boost at no higher than 16psi just to be safe. So,.....What do you think?
