me compression tested at 230 for each of the front 3 cylinders. I think they're 2,4, and 6. Regardless of the cyl numbers, I believe I should be at around 180 and am getting worried if superchargin might be a bad idea?

thanks =]

 

Two threads?

 

lol, in search of more power, meaning as a moderator?

anyway, anyone have any ideas... i search ->before someone asks me taht...

 

did you do the test right??

 

I would be very concerned about compression test numbers that are significantly higher than normal (230 psi fits that description). That could be due to a lot of carbon buildup in the combustion chambers. When boosting, the carbon could get hot enough to glow and cause preignition, and you could burn a hole in a piston.

 

thats why I'd retest...what number are you getting on your first "puff"??

 

besure to hold the throttle body open too.

 

Seafoam that bish...

 

i seafoamed this friday, i guess ima test again soon. how many times should i crank it? should i get all plugs out, or is it enough to disconnect the coils?
thank you

 

Compression tests should always be done with all your plugs removed. You will get more consistent results this way and it is easier on your poor starter.

 

crank it for a few seconds until you hear 4-5 "puffs"...watch your readings, cylinders shouldn't differ by ~20% or so at most

 

okay thanks guys
