ouch
I did a compression test on my 162k b18b after running 15 psi for 3 weeks and now smoking like crazy out of both exhaust and breather filter.......45/55/100/110
ouch! what is this motor suppose to have for compression? the funny thing is that with these numbers it still cruises along pretty good, oh by the way i decided to turn the boost down to 5 psi till i get my crx....hopefully it last me another week or so
it was fast for a week i got 303 whp never got to run it was 5th inline and then came a big rain storm....****! i ll never know

Re: ouch (rjardy)
haven't decided yet, maybe do a quick fix on the teg, put back to stock and sell it. then buy a b18b/b20b throw it in the crx w/ turbo. i think that would be pretty fast like 12s. or drive the crx and fix the teg pistons/sleeves, the whole deal.. run 20psi

Re: ouch (vtecsiqt)
your compression should be around 190 210ish
how many times did you crank it over for the test? i think it should run real shitty with the compression that low

Re: ouch (CovertFI)
You say it is still running good though? Was the motor warm when you did the test and was the throttle propped open? Is not then its not as bad as you thought.
