my compression test PIC: and some questions
Actually, the guy who ownd the car befor me did this test.. so i can't read it any btter than u gusy... BUT it shoudln't be tha tdifficult
your cylinders shouldnt have that much variance in compression..250...225..225...240...doesnt look that good to me.....usually you want them within 5 and 10 at the very most but even 10 is pushing it

The difference between the cyl's (#2 and #3) means those rings are starting to go.
I wouldn't recommend nitrous, BTW is this a JDM h22a?

Well since its a usdm h22 ( reason below) i recommend doing the test yourself. A compression tester is only about 40.00 bucks. The test may have been done incorrectly, and before you start thinking about a rebuild ( $$$$ ) you should be absolutely positive there is a problem.
A stock usdm h22 should be around 210 psi, you may have alot of carbon buildup which would explain the difference in compression between the cyl's. The wet test didn't show a huge increase in compression so your rings might be fine.

and also it would explain why his numbers are as high as 250psi
maybe try a little seafoam, see if that will clean things up a little bit.
also if your skeptical about the numbers do a leakdown test.

thas why i asked if it was a jdm h22a.

i would just buy the tester at first. I personally wouldn't have a problem with alittle more compression.
Although i'm not entirely sure whether extra compression<U> from</U> carbon is a good idea. Or if its something you should be trying to get rid of?

Did you have it re-tested?
