Good numbers. As long as you dont have a 10% difference from the highest and lowest cyl, your engine is in good healthy condition

Yes those are good numbers. 240 is fine. You engines comp numbers say the engine is in good internal condition.

ive been daily driving mine with a turbocharger and im only boosting 8psi and i havent have 1 major isssue with it. you can safely supercharge it just make sure u have the supporting mods so you dont lean out. fuel system,ecu,and a good tune on a high compression force induction motor is key!

agreed. my ITR is boosted too. stock B18C5. ~235psi

did my buddies 50k mile stock B18C5 at ~240psi

and my old JDM ITR (97) was ~245psi.

all done on the same gauge.

honestly should be measured but a gsr head with oem valves is just a touch over 11:1, 250 is a really high cranking number though. if any metal gets shaved in that engine build or flat face valves are installed it's definitely north of 11:1

oh there's nothing at all wrong with it, it just may mean higher compression and something to keep in mind when you're adding timing in the tune
