The greatness of Honda engines!
I decided to leakdown test my del sol yesterday and came up with some astounding results. First off my del sol vtec has the original b16 with 167000 miles and have been beating the hell out of it with boost (8pis) for the last 2 years. My leakdown results were 3% 2% 3% 3%. This just shows you how good a turbo honda engine can be with a good tune.

Re: The greatness of Honda engines! (trecool44)
Not surprising if the motor was somewhat cared for. I can't even begin to tell you how many 150k+ mile boosted setups I've tuned and most last (at reasonable power levels). My Integra Sedan just clicked over 240k miles last week and she still sees ~8500RPMs daily on the stock motor with similar leakdown numbers to your B16.
I think I've only seen one or two Subarus with over 100k miles on the clock (on the stock motor), and I tuned 118 of them in the last 11 months of '07. LOL
