You probably aren't doing it right. It's good to have a friend hold the throttle body wide open while you crank, and make sure ECU and Backup fuses under the engine bay are out while performing the test.

You have to be doing it wrong.

On a :B18B1 it should be between 135-199
:B18C 135-270

Here is where I got the info and there is a "How to" compression testing in the following pages:

http://www.team-integra.net/se...=1086

There are some more articles/links on the third page.

I just did a compression test on my 94 RS with 186000 miles.
Dry / Wet
Cylinder 1: 165 / 190

2: 100 / 140

3: 165 / 190

4: 110 / 150

I'm guessing I have an engine rebuild in my near future. What do you guys think?
