dandan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well folks, I just did another compression test on my motor as a precursor to my single conversion seen as I've been driving it around for the last five years in some sort of BPU guise.... 1: 194 psi 2: 195 psi 3: 195 psi 4: 196 psi 5: 195 psi 6: 195 psi I'm very happy. And so it begins....bring on the T67DBB for the new year!! :D :D :D :D Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah 2psi difference is great....I'm not so bothered about the actual number but the range is very tight so that's good news for the new year makeover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Very similar results to my last car, after 3.5 years and 36k miles at 1.2bar the engine was still near perfect compression. Even 8k miles after it went single made no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Is it not worth doing a leakdown test as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's all that oil in the bores that does it, probably knackered stem and turbo seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 its things like this that just confirm how well these engines are built, i dont think there are many engines that would still be going strong at 16 years old running 50%, 75% or even a 100% + power increases for year after year, mines been bpu for 5 years and single turbo for nearly 3 years, well done Mr T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 scared to do mine... don't want to know... lol but probably will next time i'm in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well done mate, I guess getting compression test results is a little bit more nerve wrecking that getting a dyno sheet By the way, does anyone know where can I do a compression test on my RB25DET around west London and how much it costs?

Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 For about 40 quid you can buy a decent compression tester and do your own any time you like. Less for a DIY type gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
