My new turbo motor

Hello,

I know some people wanted to see more pictures of my motor, The motor I got has some upgrades like a knight sport turbo, double alternator pulley, the down pipe has been remade in what looks like 2.5 pipe. I have not check the clutch so I don`t know what kind of clutch it has. Then it has a ugly oil pan that has been painted in pink metallic paint.

Hey

I had them check the compression and show me a picture of each one that they tested, The gauge showed each one was between 135 and 140psi. Is that good?
Thanks

135-140 that is amazing........ I mean not true. I thought factory ratings on a new motor were 110-125 psi.

Your gonna have to test it.

If too much oil is added to the compression chambers before the test, you can get insanely high compression valves like that. When you test it yourself, make sure you only add about a teaspoon's worth. Of course, it may still be full of oil from when they tested it for you. Pull the turbo off and take a look inside.

Hey,
They did not tell me what the compression was, they showed a picture of the gauge in the motor. So I emailed them last night and they told me and showed me better picture. The compression was between 119 and 121psi. So I checked the motor it looks as my motor has been rebuilt at some time when the new turbo was put on.

Thanks

That pink oil pan means one of two things:
Either a super JDM aisian **** drove it and was super JDM drift king "DK"

Or an awesomely spectacular proud japanese gay guy?
