hey guys i'm planning to buy an integra for my gf. its a 96 integra special edition. 4dr. auto. 120k on original motor. i'm planning to run a compression test on the motor so just want to know what is a good compression point for the 120k motor. thanks.

 

bump

 

175-195 PSI

 

Compression tests are highly dependent on the gauge. You want to have minimal variability between cylinders.

the test in the link is for a gsr motor, the one i'm testing is ls, so it should be a bit lower psi than the gsr?

 

A bit. Like I said, look for consistency between readings.

 

25psi between cylinders? or 20psi

 

The Helm manual states a minimum of 135psig with a maximum variation of 28psig for both the B18B1 and the B18C1.

 

gotcha, thanks.

 

variation is more important than peak numbers..however you dont want anything low as well
