I got

170 / 160 / 160 / 160


Is it this good or bad?

 

it is within spec but its a little on the low side.. you shouldnt need to worry too much..

 

I thought gsr's are suppose to be around 200 or 210 on all? Maye I'm getting confused?

I know 100 is just enough to make it fire..

could this be why i burn like 1/2 a quart of oil every 500 miles or so?

Also i'm guessing this compression is to good to add turbo right???

 

The 92-93 and the 97-98 GSR compression ratio is 10.0 : 1
I'm honestly not sure what exactly your compression test should read because of the compression ratio but to give you an example I have a b18b in my car with a fresh stock rebuild, and my compression ratio is 9.2:1 and my compression test came out as 180-181-179-180

So with the increased CR that your engine has, I'd be thinking you should be somewhere in the 190-200 range if it was a brand new engine.

Yes with 160 that is why your burning oil, replace your piston rings and that will fix the issue for you

 

yep its a little low, but all gauges are different, try another and see if its higher. but with you saying you are eating that much oil, its definitely your rings. depending on your wallet and ambition, you can boost that and rebuilt another block while you are killing the one in your car

 

Those numbers do seem a little low. However, the quality of the compression tester can significantly affect the absolute number. Try you compression tester on another vehicle. Also, did you have a warm engine and perform the test with the throttle plate 100% open?

Absolutely not, fix your engine before you turbo.

OMG no it was cold i forgot about that!!!
Also i was just blipping the throttle.


So is it possible that that low numbers is cuz of that?

 

The numbers will be far lower with the throttle closed. Keep it open all the way when cranking.
