I hate individuals like you who will type out a few minute response to tell me to search. Just give me the number you fool.

210 is really good. above 180 isn't bad. just make sure to do it with the car fully warmed up and the TB open. also disconnect your dizzy when you do this. if you don't it's easy to burn up the coil

Questions like these are asked ALLLLLLL the time. That's the reason why member's are dicks, because half the time they have to answer noob questions, the same ones that get answered 2-3 days beforehand.
A "healthy" GSR should read any where between 220psi and 270psi. Mine reads @ 245-250psi with 16x,xxx miles.

Stock pistons, therefor stock compression. My motor is just well taken care of, doesn't burn any oil, no smoke, with less than 8% leakdown in all cylinders. I know my numbers are acurate because I used two gauges (Acron and Snap-On).

it was more of the 16,000 miles that's surprising, do you really own a gsr with 16k on it? same with the rarity of not burning oil. 1qt every 1500 miles is pretty common if you drive hard. i actually have a jdm itr swap that has just over 103k or roughly 63,000 miles on it & it's in the same place at 1qt every 1500, of course there are repeated trips to 8400rpm every time it's running

Re: What is the compression (psi) of a obd1gsr (on a compression test)
When I first got the car, I beat on it..bad. I then broke my first transmission (synchros were shot, final drive gear's teeth were sheered off). After that, I've pretty much taken it easy. I don't hit vtak as much any more, I don't redline it much, and it only sees a few passes once a month at the track. I've just always believed to take care of my **** and it will pay you back in the long run. Mobile 1 oil with OEM filters or Wix filters religiously @ 3000 miles. I would like to get an oil analysis soon to tell me exactly what's going on.

To be honest, I don't even know if I have that many miles on the car. I bought the car a year ago, and it was a theft recovery. CarFax shows the car being stolen twice, so I'm uncertain that the cluster is original or reflects actual mileage. All I know is that when I CarFax'd it, it showed around 120k miles in 2006, I bought the car with 144k miles, and it now has 163k on it.

that's still beyond good you don't burn any oil at 163k

well, brand new from factory is supposed to make atleast 180 all across so if theres a lot of miles on it and is a bit little lower thats fine but anything lower than 170 on a 10:1 motor isnt that good. and just make sure they arnt more than like 10psi apart.consistency in cylinder compression is good

I add one quart every 2500 miles. No smoke. I change the PCV every 6 months.

I change mine every other oil change for that very reason. When I first got the car, the PCV valve was so gummed up it actually had a little bit of weight to it lol
