Default Day at the Dyno....

Okay so I took my Del Sol to the dyno to get it tuned cuz thats all i thought it needed to start running decent. I got it to driveable status by adjusting the VAFC 2 and FPR so I get there..
First run.....stops...........theres white smoke coming out the breather......im like great I have a f'n leak theres water somewhere.........

Second run............cant get above 55k put out like 60hp..

DO a compression test cylinder four is f'ed

and i wasted 250 bucks for nothing I have no clue what to do now ... i was planning to go turbo..... so would it be easier to just change the ring/s and go about my regular plan of slowly building the engine up or start looking to upgrade the internals NOW along with other components for the boost while I take my block apart....Money is kinda tight..I really dont have time to do the work cuz I have to go on deployment ..but i have a steady paycheck twice a month....CAR still driveable too thank god .......

Save your money during your deployment. When you are gone - plan your build and decide then.
