Well, when I first got the s5 jdm t2 engine started 6 months ago, it was reading 65 even bounces on front and rear and had overall 95 in the front and 92 in the rear. After 6 months of daily driving and lots of racing and punching showing many of my friends and family how a rotary runs. I decided to do a compression test soon. I knew I been suffering from heat soak from the 100+ deg as of late and even making the boost drop to 8.8-8.9psi from 10 psi and 11psi in cold weather. i felt maybe my car is a little weaker after the abuse i have put on, or maybe im just getting used to it and just having the feeling of wanting to go faster after 2 devastating losses to an stock sti and a modified rebuilt 5.0 mustang. I did a compression test last week, and it read 65 even bounces front and rear but 85 for front and rear. i was now scared and thinking of rebuild time soon. i also was thinking maybe its the royal purple, even though racing beat explained to me that the copyrighted synerlic additive thats in royal purple only makes it easy to burn in a rotary. anyways i decided to do the atf trick after compression test today to clean out the motor and i got amazing results. I got 70 even bounces and 101-102psi in each rotor. I pushed it on 3rd gear earlier this morning at 70 deg and it did feel a lot stronger than in the day time with 100deg. I was surprised I can get 101-102 psi in each rotor. motor still runs good and idles at 750rpm no problem. I heard of people getting good motors from japan and i heard a lot of bad stories also. i am glad mine came out quite well. and i think my friend didnt floor the gas all the way the last time we did a check. so what do you guys think of the numbers? is it at least pretty good for a jdm engine? i guess i dont need to do the atf trick. and could the compression be built up now from 6 months before because of sitting in a shop for a few years and now its finally been used to being ran again? lmk what u guys think?
