here is a link to my old post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1325078 I keep changing topics so i decided to start a new post. Ok i had 2 check engine lights before i went home last weekend. I took off my vafc and now i dont have any. I was throwing a 21 and 22 with the vafc on. 21 and 22 are both vtec codes. After i took the vafc off i finally got to do a compression check. Im burning a lot of oil and plan on putting in ctr pistons this winter. Here are the results.
Cyc1 = 177
Cyc2 = 174
Cyc3 = 176
Cyc4 = 180

I was told thats pretty low for a b16a2. What do you guys think?

 

that does seem low but it is consistant so i wouldnt be too worried. how long did u crank it for? are you sure you did it right?

What should it be??

 

As long as they are within 20% of each other you should be ok. Did you do the test with the motor hot or cold? This will make a difference in the results.

 

220-230 psi is the norm for b16s

jdm b16a sir2

 

the motor was cold when the test was done. I didnt do it i watch under the hood while my friend did it. I had him crank it till the gauge didnt go up anymore. Prolly about 7 cranks. The only thing im not sure is if he did it at WOT or not.

 

did you unplug that one plug by the dizzy? did you ask him if he did it wot or not?
