“spec is between 142-171psi with no more than a 7psi difference” thats with stock compression. taking straight from the workshop manual.
that blows. stock cams. should be more in the 160psi range, unless the STi cams have a ton of overlap, which i doubt.
:ohnoes
question 1: Why is dom’s motor blown up?
question 2: Why do you hate joe jiggs so much?.. he litterally didn’t do anything to you
straight from a forum post, first of all. and secondly common compression test readings show from 125-145 across the board on stock compression pistons, although it appears that your very resourceful you lack reading comprehension and your sources for information are inconsistent. compression test readings also differ based on cylinder temperature and washdown. the compression readings on doms motor where given to me by him, although i havent performed a test on his motor myself the readings are consistent with common findings when cold, i have yet to perform a test on my own and would like to, but the car runs without a hickup and was driven tonight. i contacted dom tonight with this information and he has no reason for concern, your attempts to tarnish my reputation and work come as a bit of a surprise to say the least, but your lack of solid evidence or a straight story leave me with little to no concern at this point. there has been nothing but perfect and consistent communication between dom and myself. dig deeper, do some more reading, and truely try to comprehend the full situation before making accusations. get some sleep.
Not that any of this belongs in LANCES thread, but good luck getting an sti to blow more than ~ 130 psi on a comp test. Every one I have done has been between 120-130 and most have cp pistons.
thanks for the comments on the build guys
Lance, I want to check that out sometime. How does the car drive?
Congrats Lance ill have to check this thing out when i make it home…if you still have it lol
I’ve got pictures of my car blowing 149-150 on all 4 cylinders. I don’t know if it was warm or cold though.
Could everyone kindly shut the fuck up about Jiggs doing bad work? I want proof, or shut it.
And since when is this thread about garbage ass boxer motors blowin’ low compression?
Since seamus called jigs out
how bout we have a mod clean this up and make a new thread :ponder
http://ken-gilbert.com/wrx/STi_Manual/index.htm clearly not taking from a forum. its under mech and compression and minimum is 128 and i was the one who did the compression test it was 115 100 118 and 115 and the car was fully warmed up.
I was just stating my experience with them, not saying its not possible or anything. I just have yet to see one really high up there. Generally a hot or warm engine seems to make a few more psi but usually not more then 10. Maybe its my mac tools gauge, or that I am just a goober…take it with a grain of salt like anything else around here.
you were the one that came on here and said “i hate joe jiggs and all of his work” and you had no reason to and i am not trying to tarnish your rep. you were the one that was trying to tarnish mine for no reason at all.
since when cant someone relentlessly bust your fucking balls on shift. go fuck yourself. i do not like you though. and alot of the shit you do is garbage. i hear at least 3 stupids things you say everyday from different people.
nice build lance id like to feel the torque from this motor.
Seamus I’ve never had a problem with you but I fail to see why you feel the need to bash Jiggs all the time. We have asked mulitle times in this thread and you’ve ignored the question. Why do you have a problem with him?
well im sorry you feel that way.
my motor is mintttttt
since the day i met the kid he has annoyed me with ridiculous goober questions and comments. the kid rubs me the wrong way. its pretty simple. ive seen his work and its sloppy and careless.
