1999 Integra GS with 52,000kms.
My numbers were 175 on all four, cylinder 3 was a little lower at ~170, going left to right from passenger to drivers side.
Mind you this was on a cold engine, I forgot I had to do it when it was warm. How much of a difference can that mean?

Am I good to turbo it? I would like to add a T3 and keep in on stock internals and less than 10psi, to get me in the 13's.
Any comments??

 

Test it again warm, if your worried. If it was mine, i'd boost it

 

I wouldnt even think twice. boost it baby!

 

how do you take a compression test exactly,just pull the plug,screw in gauge and turn the motor over right(after disconnecting the coil).i got 190,190,200,190 in my b16a3,does that sound right?or was there something i didnt do.

how many times do you turn the motor over,alot or just like 1 or 2 times or what?

Thanks for the input everyone, I think it should be ok, since that was cold,it'l be a bit higher when warm, boost here I come!!

Take out all the plugs and wires, put the gauge in the first cylinder and turn it over about 5-7 times with the throttle to the floor. Do it for each cylinder a few times to ensure the numbers are consistent, be sure to do it when the car it warm.
That's it...

 

hmm i always disconnect the fuel pump relay so i am not shooting out fuel. 4 times should be plenty. i also get good readings even with the tb closed. i get 210 across the board in a d16y8.
