Hello all,
I've recently purchased a new Evo IX MR FQ-360 which I'm super happy with but having just taking it to 'Auto Torque' up in Oxford, they've carried out an exhaustive health check, of which a compression test is included. The results are as follows:
Piston 1: 10.5 Bar / 152 PSi
Piston 2: 10.5 Bar / 152 PSi
Piston 3: 8.5 Bar / 123 PSi
Piston 4: 10.5 Bar / 152 PSi
They have confirmed that by using a Bore Camera, they can see some scoring on the inside of the Bore Housing on Piston 3 which has an alarmingly low pressure.
The car has done 22k miles, they have also confirmed that the rest of the car is in very good condition but it's likely it's been pushed hard in it's short life.
It's worth noting that the car has been re-mapped with 3 maps:
1.2 Bar - Low Boost
1.5 Bar - Medium Boost
1.7 Bar - High Boost
I believe the re-mapping was done at around 10k miles.
I was wondering what anyone else's experience is with Evo IX's and their engines running low compression?
From research and speaking with Auto Torque, they suggested the compression should be reading around 12.5 Bar / 181 PSI.
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!
