Yep, Gary with the white 3rd gen.

 

BAD news!!!
i did another compression test and the results aren't good.
i must have misread the gauge but
front 60,60,60
rear 90,90,90
i was assuming a side seal or something...
tell me what you think...
i will most likely have to back out on the tuning.....

 

What happened with the guy who tuned his car?

Did he change his setup, or was he not happy with Chris' tune?

 

I should go for more boost, replace all of my coolent lines/nipples this time.

 

Gohan:
What are you doing for a compression tester? It is pretty hard to mess up a compression test on the high side, so I would lean toward your first results being the right ones.

If you are not using a real rotary tester and correcting for cranking rpm's the actual number means almost nothing - but three equal "puffs" on each rotor is a real good sign.

Keep checking other stuff.

520@26:

You do not have to replace all your coolant lines and stuff, just look everything over, wiring, hoses, etc, and fix what looks suspect. Check especially any hoses that are near oily spots, as the oil will deteriorate the rubber. The nipple that blew off on your car last time was very very dry rotted if I recall correctly and would have been caught in a careful pre-tune inspection.

Hope those help...

Sounds like you need a better test done. What seals did you use? You could have warped the seals. If that's the case, get some miles put on that motor so that they straighten back out.

60/60/60 isn't a broken seal or stuck seal. If you had a broken or stuck seal, you're numbers wouldn't be the same.

 

i'm using oem 2mm seals.

the first test was read by my friend as i was cranking the motor....
he said that he must have misread it.
i checked it three times now, back and forth between rotors....same results
so i called dave gibson today,
he told me that it is one of two things:

1: the plug that i used for the omp lines on the rotor housing could be loose/leaking
i checked it and it's all good

2: there must have been somthing inside that caused one of the housings to get scratched /scored.
all i can do now is take it apart.

it totally makes sense,
if it were a seal....i wouldn't have consistant numbers,and they are very consistant.....

 

any other ways to verify this.....?
it's okay, you guys can lie to me.

 

usually, a near fatal mixture of heroin and taco meat can fix this problem.

 

Is there a set date yet?

 

Dude, don't start this again.

 

Well, you've got a month to fix it. You rebuilt your previous motors right? Spend a weekend working on it and get it running. It doesn't take long.

 

Go ride your bicycle in the rain.

 

I do apologize, I failed to read the whole post.

I was riding bmx most of the night yesterday. I'm chillin.

 

sounds tastey!!!!!!!

 

i never built the motor,
dave gibson built it last time....
i had it cryotreated and everything...the works

this will be my first build, i do all the work not including the motor.
i always said leave that to the professionals but i'm starting to reconsider that...
i am taking 5 classes this semister and work full time...
i'm gonna take longer than a month...maybe

 

too many pages to read. When is the date he will be here?

 

Anyone?

 

Gary is having Steve come out because he's the man.

 

Steve will be tuning on Oct 21st and 22nd. Better get your deposit in now before I close the registration.

 

Well, you better get on the ball. Steve is coming next month !

__________________________________________________ ______________

Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.

"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."


If you want to be added to the list, please let me know asap.

 

+ check your coolant lines/nipples.

I heard someone almost made 9 second club ? ? 10.04 ? ?

Did you let off so no one would yell at you?

 

Count me in. PM sent
