Is my Motor Ready for Nitrous?

[SHO Nick]

We did a compression test yesterday since I had the intake off swapping plugs since water got in #2 and was missing...
This is what we got:

1 - 210
2- 200
3- 215
4- 205
5- 210
6- 210

How my motor running? it has 132,2XX Miles on it...

No motor is ready for nitrous. It is a risk no matter what.

upgrade your fuel pump, which IIRC you allready have... then some colder plugs.
start with a 50 shot then, once you get comfortable, and you know you motor can take it.... :laugh_ti: then go for a 75 shot.....

lol...well does it look to be that my motor is strong, and not weak? i dont know much about compression :corn:

Those are good #'s.

 

[40BelowSummer]

Yes those pretty good compression numbers. And they are all within 85% of each other.

 

[SHO Nick]

What are Great numbers, or optimal numbers? the #2 cyl will be retested since it was the one with water in it...

HaHa, don't you mean to say "within 10-15% of each other"? I knew what you meant, I just didn't want some new guy to think he has a great motor when one cylinder is within 85% of another.

The Zex kit is safe. Upgrade to a bigger fuel pump. Get you some Denso Iridium IK20s, fill the bottle and hit that 75 shot.

Its the most fun and cost effective power adder you can buy.
