Dan_Turism0 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Took the car to JPS Motorsports today for a general health check up and well I was a little startled by they're findings, a number of things I was aware of or had planned to do anyways but some things were new.......soo here's the list Cambelt - I knew this was coming up due time but I didn't expect it to be this bad!!! Auxiliary belt Spark Plugs - At some point when they were last changed the garage that did them didn't remove the throttle body to give them access to cylinders 3+4 so they only changed the leads + plugs on 4 of the 6 cylinders....brilliant huh??? Plug Leads Dizzy Cap Rotor Arm Engine Oil - I already had planned to change this anyways Oil Filter - Again i'll change this when oil is done Fuel Filter Air Filter - Durrently planning a custom induction kit anyways Gearbox Oil Leak - I was aware of a small leak when I bought the car, it's suspected it's the rear main seal that's gone Gearbox Mount - Due to the oil leak the rubber bushings are shot and are soaked through Rear Anti-Roll Bar - Again I was aware of this needing replacing when I bought the car O/S/F Track Rod End - Again I was aware of this needing replacing but as per one of my earlier posts I have these sat ready to go on Flywheel - There's a little lurching from the flywheel after de-clutching and it is a little noisy, it's not causing any major issues and it could just be gearbox oil on the flywheel from the leak in the gearbox itself Allignment - This would need to be done after track rod ends are replaced anyways. Ok so that's the list of the bits I got back, I also had a compression test done on the engine and got the following back: No1. 210 No2. 200 No3. 150 No4. 160 No5. 210 No6. 210 On a brighter note I did get a picture of my hand next to the JPS Drag Supra's turbo.....absolute monster!!!

Bailey. Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That's a large blower, what's going on with those comp test results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Sorry to hear of the problems! Big turbo... could be a small hand though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 without getting the head off it's hard to say but i can't see using dirty/old plugs helping too much, the car doesn't misfire at all and starts/runs pretty well although a little sluggish to pickup (which is probably due to lower compression on 3+4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I believe some guys on here have had new cambelts look like that, with the big crack along them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Does that exhaust housing have a wastegate welded to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Those compression test results are the most worrying, the rest just seems to be due from wear & tear/lack of servicing/neglect. Did they also do a leak down test? Compression testing itself shows there is an issue, but not where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
