SR20det Redtop no compression in 3 cylinders
I recently put in a redtop into my s13. I got it started and running this past weekend for the first time. I was having an issue were once I hit positive boost pressure (around 2000 RPM) my engine would lose power much like if I had taken my foot off the gas pedal.
Today I go to crank up my engine so I could troubleshoot some more. It started rough, going back and forth between 800 - 1500 RPM. Then it just stops. I tried cranking it to no avail. I decided to check compression, and only cylinder 2 was able to show anything at all (8 Bar). Cylinders 1,3,4 don't show a thing.
When I look down the spark plug holes I can see each cylinder move when cranked. Another thing I remember noticing is that when it cranked up, every once-in-a-while I would hear something that kinda sounds like grinding for 1/6th of a second then go away.
Edit*
Another thing I want to add is that it was idling just fine yesterday. Also My oil light kept flickering on and off even though I have plenty of oil in it.
