well if finally got to do compression test and the results where not good
cyl dry wet
4 150 160
3 145 155
2 145 155
1 155 165
guess i know what problem is, rings. crap! if any one has fixed this prob. cheaply please tell me how because myfundsarelow. it seems to be a terminal disease with me and this car,].

Those compression numbers are decent. 120PSI is the service limit on 1G's. The problem is likely not your rings, it's your PCV valve.

 

[oldman]

Did you test the turbo seal and pcv before the compression test like the other thread suggested? In any case like psychlow said, although 145 is not ideal, it's still within service limits. The little difference in dry and wet test also suggested that the rings are OK. Are you smoking under any conditions? What lead you to the pressure test in the first place? Give us more details on what else you have tried besides the compression test.

sorry it took so long to get back. no smoke at all, maybe a little black(carbon) when i get happy with the go peddle at first. pcv valve is brand new and functional(i checked). didnt check the turbo seal. i bought turbo brand new (16g) and it only has about 3000 miles on it now. still a little foggy on how to test it.

i found how to do it. disconnect turbo from licp and pressurize system TOWARDS intercooler. i hope i get a chance to do it this week. ill post results asap and thanks for the help.
