33730, I did a compression test today
Posted by JSMOTHRS, Nov-02-02 10:28 AM
Well I've got good compression. I've got 205. 205 . 205-210. 205-210.
I also had alot of oil on my spark plugs I guess from misfiring. so I'm replacing the gasket on the valve cover for the plugs. I got everything I need for my turbokit, Plugs,Wires,Ignition coil,and a turbo timer. What else should I get to run safe. I'm getting a stage 2 kit with a SMIC. Will I be running 5-6 psi with the SMIC? or is that with the FMIC? I want 10 psi so if I have to get a FMIC for 10 psi then I will. I want a different FMIC though maybe Apexi if it will fit.

i had alot of oil on some spark plug before, and i just replaced the plugs and its been fine every since. so try that 1st before doing the vc and other gaskets. hmm you cant do 10psi safe at all with smic or fmic. i would do 9psi max to be on the safe side on stock internals if you want to see your car live long. 5-6psi will be good for now. i was happy with that for a long time, then i up it to 9 recently after 1 yr since hmm it was super fast...
good luck
