CHECKED COMPRESSION. what should i do now??
 

90-90-90 front rotor

80-80-80 rear rotor

Thats not good. Should I rebuild the N/A. Or save and buy a TII???

well, that's obviously not very good. But I've seen engine with much worse compression still running pretty well... But I admit that you should rebuild it before you break something and scrap a housing and or a rotor

anyway it all comes down to the budget you have

ya thats what i was thinking. But idk..

she's on her way out, but its not too bad. At least you have some time to save for the swap.

hmm. Idk...the swap would be more expensive than a rebuild. I would probably rebuild the swap anyways..

so rebuild the swap :)

uhh... was that hot or cold compression numbers? For cold that would be great.

i would say rebuild it... turbo is just a mess and headache to get into

i have 90-90-90-115 front 90-90-90-115rear and people have said thats great but who knows, my motor runs perfect so it might last a while

what the heck is 90-90-90-115?!

rotors only have 3 apexs...not 4

Before you go to such drastic measures, has this gauge been calibrated with a known, good engine???
What did you do when you did the compression test?
When the engine was warm?
When the engine was hot?
Did you pull out the top two trailing spark plugs?
Did you hole the throttle all the way open?

Good compression is extremely important to operational dynamics of a functional mechanism . Its atmospheric relativity is only proportional to directive stability. If your cohesive influx is lacking, try directional infusion to increase ergonomic enhancement. New numbers have revealed that systematic dynamics require uninhibited restrictions for proper power. If unacceptable numbers are an internal problem in your dyhedro, the most logical course of action from here would be to either adjust its internal malfunctions, or invest in a new triangular shaped power pack, but listening to Reted, I would have to assume that your mechanical wonder is still operational. By the way, next time, read a little more, and then, listen to the intellectual phenominum thats graces these pages. Without these extra-ordinary intellectuals, your information would come from the likes of me.. By the way, sorry for the intellect, but I think you should do a few more tests before you start the rebuild. Just a dog giving his two bones worth, but my first post I was told to start from scratch, and after 10 thousand posts Ive read, and all my new parts, my compression on 90 FC3C, 150 thou miles, is 112 all around, so Ill stay intellectual, and keeepp reading. LOL, ruf ruf ruf.

Anyone know what the hell just went on here?!?! :confused:

i just threw up a little bit cause of this

ENGLISH please:)

Just because it uses words too big for you to understand, doesn't mean it's not english!

Words....yeah...I understand words...but when he put all those "words" together to form that "pull it out yo @$$" blog (because I wont give it the satisfaction of actually calling it a paragraph).....it makes it a little hard to understand what the HELL he's talkin 'bout! :p:

I guess an ENGLISH translation is in order: I said " Don't give up on her yet. Do some more fine tuning, and double check all avenues before tearing her apart. Double check the compression once more and have faith.

90's are jumps and 115 is not holding the button in

thats some crazy wording there... and whats up with the double post?, was u wasted?...agan

Wasted again, try spell check slip. Lets try this again for illiterate morons. I'm trying to tell this gentleman not to give up on his engine. If I gave up from what some of you "genius's" advised, I'd be out a daily driver, and wasted a whole lot of money. Drink, yes, I do partake in this American past-time, but its because of people like Re- and Du- and IC-, and Ra-, cant finish their names due to rules I recently learned about, that my 1990 FC3C vert, n/a is alive and kicking ass. Dont give up dude, and if you need a DRUNK DOG to give you moral support, call me, and I'll be there with Rum in hand. Ruf Ruf Ruf.

There is no problem putting names *inside* a post - don't put it in the SUBJECT line. :)

Man, your style made me think you plugged your original draft into some kinda ebonics translator (redneck translator? :) ), and it did make my head hurt! :)
I did manage to get the gist of it!

What the hell man...you drinking some good Guiness or what? :D

Yeah, I kinda agree with the dog. You're getting the same compression on all your rotors, so the engine is ok, just kinda old. I'm sure mine had similar compression (225k miles with lots of track time) and it ran fine till the coolant seal crapped out. I say you should start saving for a good rebuild and street port, and in the mean time just dont flog it too much and watch for signs the engine is getting worse.
As far as the turbo goes, it all depends on your situation. If you have plenty of time, money, and patience, go for the turbo rebuild. I'm sure they're tons of fun (I'd like one myself, sigh...) If not, just go ahead and get a rebuild and mods. You can still have plenty of fun with an N/A.

No RETed, no strong stuff, just beer. I'm just in my own creative lunacy trying to help re-assure this man that when all seems hopeless, keep a stiff upper lip. When I first joined and had just got my car, It went to 6000 rpm's instantly on start up and smoked like I had just done ATF treatment. If I had listened to all the idiots here, not you, I would still be rebuilding.Hour after hour of reading threads, and post, for weeks, and good advice, problem solved. Keep adjusting and fiddling, and treat her like the bitch she is, and you'll be happy for a little while. And you all will know when Im drunk, Ill make sense. RUF RUF
