I bought a 91int which I'm restoring. I noticed that all seals including oil pan was new. and I took it to my boys shop where he measured compression which it came 9.2 stock and he measured 10.4. so what do you think, whole engine was rebuild or what?

 

whatever it is you cant complain about gaining 1.2 compression for paying nothin?

LS i have just intake & headers exhaust!! he has headers exhaust!! ha-ha-ha!! do some research before speaking to me.....

that's why you pull on a basically stock Civic Si....
your car is lighter, AND more compression and torque
edit -

 

Am I missing something? How did he measure compression ratio? Did he remove the head or what? I didn't think you could come up with a compression ratio number by a compression test.

 

WElll speaking of weight....

A 1997 acura integra ls curb weight is 2,643
and A civic Si 2000 curb weight is 2601 lbs

Soo..... I dont see how an LS is lighter

also.... The LS does have more torque but the SI has a higher compression

Engine Size 1.8 1.6


Number of Cylinders 4 4


Engine Type Gas Gas


Camshaft DOHC DOHC


Compression Ratio 9.2 10.2


Horsepower 140@6300rpm 160@7600rpm


Torque (lbs-ft) 127@5200rpm 111@7000rpm




BOLD LETTERS IS FOR THE LS

i just find it interesting that both you and your brother own a v8 honda.

nah, i think they got a honda v twin motorcycle engine in their cars.

I think your boy needs to go back and learn how to do some math and learn to do a compression check correctly. Also you probably need to know what an actual "race" looks like.

Another thing it's <FONT SIZE="5">Header</FONT>, not "headers" you don't have a V6-V8 Honda.

Lastly, do not come in here telling people to do their research when you haven't done any yourself. There are people here that will break off in your *** the next time you post some ignorant **** like that. Frankly, I think you are ******* stunna like the rest of them. Go back to Club-si or Superhonda where you belong. Your stupidity serves you well.

yeah he bought a g2 integra not a G3+ g2's weigh around 2400lbs make sure to read in more detail next time

acually g2 are 60-80 lbs heavier that a civic si....so they weight about 2680lbs....

g2 are not 2400 pounds
thay are almost the exact same weight as a g3 teg

90 ls teg = 2590

 

well I had mine weighed at the track once and it came to 2409 its an RS though so that might play something in it also all the A/C and all of the P/S have been removed and has a b16 in it so that might play into it but I had heard stock they were still in the 24xx

 

here are the official weights from edmunds:

97 teg ls: 2643
00 civic si: 2601
90 teg ls: 2549

now quit yer yappin.

 

took to my boys shop he has a gauge that you have to take a spark plug out and srew this gauge in, unplug the ignition and crank away until he says stop. its pretty bad az.

 

huh? well I'll spell it out a bit better for you a.d.d. people. he has an si 96 civic that is, and I have an LS integra. what I meant is that in his si has header and cat back exhaust system and I have intake and header cat back exhaust. Do you see or read what I'm talking about now?????? AH! DUH!

that measures compression. it doesnt give you your compression RATIO. thats something different.

 

nice language d***. that there garauntees how your parents raised you. and d*** you ever heard of a compression gauge? no I guess not!! you could buy one at sears. a.d.d. I hope you're taking some medication for it

 

yeah it does, but after that you have to do some math right? well that's the number have roughly came up with. if he wrong oh well!!

i hope that statement wasnt directed towards me.

using a compression gauge tells you how many psi each cylinder is generating. calculating compression ratio is totaly different. you use total volume to determine compression ratio. the pressure of the cylinder has nothing to do with the compression ratio.

I would have to say you are one ignorant fool.

 

why is this whole thread useless and not make any sense?

 

yehh i know... ppl first of all need to learn how to explain and type things

 

They never made a 96 civic si, and you don't know what your compression ratio is unless you know your engine's "guts" are comprised of.

You can't put a compression tester in and extrapolate the compression ratio from that regardless of what crazy math from Pluto you use. Maybe you're the one suffering from ADD, Another Dumbass Dreaming

 

96 si?... errrr.....

I think you might be wrong. Compression testers give you the dynamic cranking pressure of an engine. If you know the exact cam shaft spects plus displacement, it should be possible to find the CR. I might just have to try.
