i have been reading on the Kennebell website they say a 74mm is good for about 600 rwhp before it becomes a restriction. I really want to attach a gauge to see how much vaccum a 74mm is pulling as compared to a 82mm in 3 gear on a dyno pull.

On second thoughts Shardul...those compression results look awful...I'll give you $50 for the car to make your life stress-less, that way you have more time in Whole Foods checking out senoritas

Here are mine, test result of all 8 cylinders.
All are in between 10 and 10,4 bar which equals 145 to 150psi i guess.
The engine was not in operating temperature, this means that in operation temp. the pressure is slightly higher

Flow benched a 82 MM T-body
Last Saturday I had some time to stick a 82 MM T-body on the flow bench.
It Flowed 930 CFM. Then I installed the Y from a 80 MM set up. It Drop to 850 CFM. That is a 80 CFM drop? I'm looking to install this type of set up on my klee blower. I need to do more fabrication. If I was shipped a stock 74 mm , I would flow it for comparison against one with a Shaft grind done by (NOT ME) enough interest we will start a new thread

Any higher then that (with consistant results between cyl.)on high millage 55k engine means unrealistic readings (wrong measuring approach or wrong meassuring device or both) or in the case of unconsistency between cylinders-heavy carbon build up. That are my experiences and words of my friend which is for last 20 years main mechanic in mercedes shop here in Europe.

Since I am running a bigger pulley and have other mods I figured I would do a compression test on my car. After doing this I think this is a must for all the heavily modded cars. Exotic-Metal55 was kind enough to lend me his compression testing set.
Here are the results. WIS say the compression number should be within 22 psi of each cylinder which I think is too much.
It is a pretty straight forward procedure, just remember to disconnect the CPS which doing this test so this will prevent the engine from starting.
Cylinder 1 161
Cylinder 2 155
Cylinder 3 160
Cylinder 4 160
Cylinder 5 161
Cylinder 6 160
Cylinder 7 161
Cylinder 8 160
If anyone has done this please can you share your results. Does anyone know what the compression results should be on a 55k motor?

haters crazy
You are supposed to pull the fuel pump relay when doing a compression test. Otherwise you're still getting fuel into the cylinders and will skew your numbers and possibly flood the cylinders if cranked too much

As mentioned earlier, the fuel pumps should always be unplugged for the compression test. Any liquid in the cylinder will aid in sealing and bump the numbers up a bit. Worse, they could even them out and hide a potentially low cylinder... which is a more valuable output than the raw pressures themselves.
