Do a compression check. You have no idea what shape your motor is in until you do this.

^^yeah do a compression test first if it comes out >200 psi for all cylinders then i'd say you are good to go with a 50 shot. Mine came out 215 psi at almost 40K miles and I've been spraying on an an SS with no problems so far (cross fingers).

The numbers themselves in a compression test dont really matter unless they are extremely low. Ex. 150 and below. You need all cylinders to be within about 5% of each other though to spray safely.

i say do a leakdown test as well, just to be on the safe side =P

Vi3tboiiz · 10-10-2003, 01:31 PM

thanks for all the input guy! i will do a compression check n leak down when i got time thanks!

Vi3tboiiz · 11-09-2003, 12:18 PM

hey guys i did a compression check and it came out to

200
200
195
200
so it all looks good! i dont think i need to do a leakdown test since it all looks good.

im surprise of how high the numbers are... i got 110k on the motor and its still running strong

although i hope the tranny doesnt crap out agian... replaced at 40k

laughin2.2 · 11-09-2003, 05:30 PM

Yep, those are fine.

Is a compression test easy to do? Where can I buy a tester or is it cheaper to have a place do it for me?

DEFCONShupaLude · 11-13-2003, 05:01 PM

yes easy to do. most goto sears or autozone for the tester for 30-40 bucks.

CTPRELUDE · 11-14-2003, 03:23 PM

I got my kit for $19.99 at autozone. Its really easy to do.

Not to highjack this thread but I have about 167,xxx miles on my 1997 base if my compression checks out to be good and within 5% for each cyclinder is it ok if I spray 50-75 shot? I don't plan on building h22 either. If it's not a good idea to spray then I'll just save up for something else.

Thanks
Jon

If your compression is good, then it is fine.

What he said. I know people with mileage as high as yours that run nitrous with no problems.

eu4ik · 12-03-2003, 02:36 PM

my 4th gen had like 180-200 across the board ahahah and im sprayin the crap out of it. 4th gen autos hold a lot better than the 5ths for some reason though.

oh yeah and i started spraying at about 140k. im at 150k now and ive lowered the fuel pill since then

muahah

spray spray spray. i dont think ill ever have a car that doesnt get nitrous. reguardless of mileage.

Dallicis · 12-05-2003, 09:18 PM
