Stock b16a2...is 180psi compression good enough???
I know, it used to be 220 across the board, now it's down around 180psi per cylinder. My question, how bad is it to run like this? I know my rings are probably shot, but the car starts and runs pretty good...and what's the worst that could happen, the rings go bad??? Know what I mean. Anyways, just wondering...I don't want to build right now, maybe in a few months.

180 is about the compression by 9.0:1 B16 ran or was it lower...dont remember...
either way....do a leak down and be safe

Nope, I was running nitrous and used to do compression checks like every 3K because I was paranoid. I've had the turbo on for about 10k...

It's probably just your valves. If you really had a problem, I don't think the compression would be that even.

Actually, my rings are pretty much screwed, so I'm in the process of building right now.

more info about how they went out.
how long were you boosted?
how much boost?
fuel managment?
i'm boosting my STOCK b18c1 in my ef soon. I'll be using Uberdata.
Just wanted to see if you had some advice to give out for 1st time boosters.

Well, I'm guessing the damage happened when I had a 13 and 15psi boost spike...Had a faulty boost controller. Boosted for about 15K, Ran the blue box, the Hack and now I'm on uberdata. I'm thinking that there might have been some of the damage caused from the hack also, timing advance and all that jazz.
