check this out guys...

1)found a major oil leak... the oil pan return line weld is leaking! cold weld doesnt seem to help it one bit.

2)ran a compression test today... cranked it about 4-7 times and got a reading of 150-155 on each cylinder. not a good thing.. but not a bad thing either! any tech advice on what this means?

3)since ive been racing alot at the illegals... my car has gotten alot more sluggish and sluggish. performance has dropped! i STILL havent taken out my cat... so i know it restricts alot more now... probably burned out. but i figured... there has to be some things im looking over.

4)ever since i changed my plugs to step 7.. its been running sluggish!

this is my setup...
-drag 3 kit on RS 12:1 FMU with airtex fuel pump
-stock timing
-cat and 2.5 exhaust
-boost guage and a/f guage

any tech advice is appreciated!

 

Well, I wouldn't worry about any of that other stuff until you find out why you have such low compression. Depending on your motor, you should have 175-190, 150 is damn low.
good luck,

i might have messed my motor up when i raced without the fuel pump working. mighthave messed something up internally... gonna do more tuning and shiet as soon as the weekdays come. if i can tune everything.. then it will help me find the problem alot better.

i got a 1.8L nonvtec motor. 150-155 that bad?

 

I did a compression test on my LS about 2 weeks ago and all cylinders were 195-200. This is on a 99 with 12k miles. How many miles are on your car?

 

hey play, looks like ACME got us both. they did a shiznitty weld on my pan too and its leaking a tiny bit, i did a compression test and im 160 across the board too, and lately my car is running really slow and is having trouble reving over 6000, it climbs real slow. i called acme today and they couldnt really help without seeing the car, but im in AZ now and there are no shops here from what i can tell so far. please anybody with any ideas????? im pretty pissed right now and and about to junk my car and buy a rustang or some crap like that.

 

If you're seeing 160 on your Type R you've got some problems.

 

are you doing the compression test on a cold motor? its supposed to be warm....
