i just changed my valve seals today, the car started right up and ran fine, at running temp i did a compression test.. it read 240(+-5)psi in each cylinder, its a 96 stock gsr is this too high? isnt it supposed to be 210ish?

 

What cams are in the motor? That will have an effect on the compression test as well. I have seen many stock B series motors make 210-250 psi, so I dont think its that uncommon.

 

all i can say is kaboom, dont let it happen

 

stock cams everything is stock....

You should be alright. Maybe it's just the motor that's strong....

 

the head has probably been milled or upgraded cam before. run higher octane gas see if its faster.

yeah but still could've been rebuilt and milled because it was warped or something, that'll bump up the compression. anyhow who doesn't like higher compression? lol I would go 91 or 94 octane see if it makes a difference

 

240 across the board?? sounds like a beautifully healthy GSR motor. high octane it like already said and dyno it.

 

240psi is normal for a JDM GSR~10.6:1 ratio motor

 

Sorry to thread jack but what would be normal PSI on a 94 GSR stock? 10.0:1 comp

around 200-210psi

my stock JDM ITR motor around 270psi (11.1:1)

what’s more important about compression tests is the consistency between cylinders

only reason i asked is I had a comp a leakdown test and I got 165 psi per cyl

 

well thanks guys for your help we'll try some higher octane lol
