Should take the fuel pump fuse/ relay out for a compression check..You want it do do everything but squirt fuel..Unless your supposed to dissconnect the spark too..

Slickers, just buy the 1g auto...There just as fun an a stick if driven correctly..Plus you can just get in the car and go, no need to shift..Unless your me..

But but but, I want a stick......
Ill see what I can do. If anything, I would take a Mani. Turbo. Then Auto turbo, then Mani. N/T.
Im not going to buy a N/T Auto.

How does that sound?

Will probably want a Defi gauge after he see's this...

 

[snowborder714]

Knows those gauges cost a pretty penny. I think I'll be able to get all my gauges for the price of two of them or something.

 

[SmalltownDSMer]

Knows it's the price of one actually...

 

[snowborder714]

Knows he won't be able to mod his car for a few months because he bought a gauge

 

[EDM95]

Do I have bad rings or what?

How to do a Compression Test

 

[EDM95]

So what I have bad rings then?

 

[Mitsu RacerX]

Not bad just low compression. So you can run it but the pickup power will not be there. Just go ahead with the rebuild or swap it..

 

[EDM95]

I have a vac leak too.

I know those are the mits numbers, but they look a little high..Must just have been mits with alot of misinformation..Kinda like how they say to gap your plugs at .032 for a turbo car..

 

[Bud92gsx]

So Ed..Replace your vacuem lines and do a headhasket..Not hard to do if you have the car apart anyway..Or on the right side the headbolts weren't tightend all the way resulting in a gap between head and deck.. But could just be bad rings, which all you will have to do is unbolt crank and pistons and re ring them..

 

[EDM95]

So I am ok for now then?

Says the same thing here also..170 - 225 psi

 

[EDM95]

What do I do then?

 

[Mitsu RacerX]

Get a rebuild it...Unless you want to go big then stroke it..
Just go to Autozone(any car store) and ask for standard piston rings an pistons(like 130.00 for both)..Pop the pistons out and replace them..

How does that sound?

Better than my 90 as the highest compression. No wonder it felt like my old Honda.
Get a new gasket set.

 

[EDM95]

It raining like crazy man.

 

[slickers111]

Knows that sucks.
Its 70 and nice up here.

 

[EDM95]

I am thirsty and it is raing hard so I am not going out to get a drink.

 

[slickers111]

Go out to get a drink?
