hey guys, i have a 1992 silvia s13 coupe. the cars currently at 209xxx....Lately the car started misfiring like crazy when i punch the gas on 1st. I cleaned the maf, changed spark plugs, and going to change the fuel filter tommorow. I also got the compression readings checked on it today. The results were shocking and broke my heart lol. Cyl 1=115 cyl 2=115 cyl 3 and 4 =105......What do you guys think, I'm thinking of getting my ka rebuilt....since i don't have enough money for an sr. Let me know! thanks!

Get it rebuilt, but do it right. Then turbo it for fun and profit.

compression still looks fine, change your sparkplug wires, check different mafs, change out your cap and rotor also if you havent, rebuilding doesnt mean you get rid of the problem.

Minimum for ka is 151 I'm running 115/105

Alec Aranowitz · 11-01-2012, 07:26 PM

Compression needs to be at around 170 and the cylinders all have to be within 15psi of each other. Your compression is SUPER low. Your rings are detroyed. You notice alot of burning oil, dont you?

Wiesco pistons .02 over
Eagle rods

It actually doesn't burn much oil just leaks a shitload, it misfires like crazy under hard acceleration and going up hills which is really annoying

I'm have same issues with my s13...still have to do compression test and leak down test. Crossing my fingers in hopes i dont have to replace the headgasket.
