whats up guys. So I think I might have finally pop my first 13b lol
i was having some fun and was doing a few wot pulls which felt strong.
but when I stop at the red light the car didn’t want to idle normal.
I take off at the light and drive home 40miles and the car drove fine and no issues
on the highway but once I hit the streets and every red light the idle was super
funky.
heres a before and after idle video.
i haven’t had time to do a compression check or anything with work.
but curious if y’all have seen a car do this and if y’all think it’s a compression issue.
Engine vacuum? Doesn't sound good. Peak knock of 113 common for your car? Peak air temp of 78C is horrible, I would not recommend flooring an FD if you were pulling away from a light with air temps that high (172 F oh man). What boost levels?
Edit: anddddd peak water temp of 114 is likewise no bueno. You AZ boys need a massive radiator as well as two large (think SBG kit) oil coolers along with other magic to make sure your FDs run happy on the surface of the sun over there.

I had one that had a chipped seal. It was hard to start and idled funny but would rev up perfectly fine. It also still pulled like mule when you got on it. I think the higher revs helped it seal to the point where the compression loss was almost unnoticeable. When I disassembled the engine one rotor had the slightest little chip in it.
