Well I searched through the archives and there was no post like this. When I got my car a maintanence at the Honda Dealership they did a compression test and it said 165 on all cylinders. Now to make sure is that good or bad on a 97 Accord 4-cyl non vtec f22b2 accord? I am getting the manual swap next month and turbo installed in May. If this compression test is bad then I won't do it. I checked in the Forced Induction thread and some civic have like a 250 compression and h22a have like 225 or something and this is getting me worried. HELP ME.....

 

it varies with the motor. those #s are consistent which is very good.

 

Like he said, engines vary but as long as they are all around the same range your good. (not true if they all test at 25, had to put that in there before someone went smartass on my post )

 

Ok then what do the numbers mean and why would they varie???

 

it varies with engines. not every engine is going to to give you #s in the 250s. different engine, different compression..etc...

if you had 165 165 100 165...i would worry....that means 1 of the 4 cylinders has bad compression.

also i str8 dont remember what were the #s when i did it to my old f22, but i was more looking for consistently anyway.
