Nice video. Maybe put this in the DIY section?

[trrbo_tc]

[2dot4]

what'd you pay for the tester?

[trrbo_tc]

somewhere in the range of 50 bucks to 65 i think ..

Thought I'd put this here too, it's in the other compression test post.

FYI: From the 2005 Scion tC Repair Manual

Compression pressure: 1,300 kPa (189 psi)

Minimum pressure: 1,000 kPa (145 psi)

Difference between each cylinder: 100 kPa (14 psi)

[trrbo_tc]

think it's the same for an 07 ?

[vettereddie]

I would imagine so, but weren't you getting like 210 psi?

yeah, when he cranked it 8 times - you're only supposed to crank like 3 or 4 times.

[trrbo_tc]

yeah then i performed a second test where i only cranked it 3 - 4 times
