I finally bought a compression tester the other day, and got results for all four cylinders. Cylinders 1-4 all check out very consistent and even all the way across, maintaining around 180-185psi after several cranks of the piston reaching TDC. My battery isn't the greatest so it may not have been cranking at enogh RPM's to see proper results.
For reference, I wanted to get a little compression comparison going on so that I can get an idea of what people with healthy 5S's are running. I'm doing these checks to determine whether or not to lightly boost what I already have or to go for a newer 5SFE before the project begins. Post up figures if you have them, otherwise let me know what you think of mine and what route I should take with the motor. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

That might be the best route Jeff. The way this motor runs now, I'm confident it could run a stock wastegate CT26 with relative ease.
I'm glad I got a checker though, its very easy to do and can be a great indicator for any variety of problems. What were Manny's figures? I can't remember. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
