help! low compression test
well just finish throwing in my b18b. everything seems fine, runs pretty strong. but its kind of smokey. so i decided to do a compression test. at first i did the test, i forgot to unplug the ecu fuse, and cranked only 4 times, it read 125 100 125 125. keep in mind this is my first time. so this time i read the instructions carefully, i pulled the ecu fused, and cranked about 10-15 times on wot, and my readings were 150 130 150 150 all across, isnt these numbers way too low? i did the car at operating temperatures as well same readings. i even threw a cap full of oil in and it jumped to like 195 195 180 185... so i dunno what to do. is it my rings? this motor is seeing boost real soon thats why im worried. thanks in advance for the help.

Re: (oscarmayer)
The numbers will also differ from gauge to gauge. Your real concern is that the numbers shouldn't be too different. If a number is different from the rest by 20 then you have a problem.
