Just wondering what are some good results for a compression test on a stock B16a (first gen series) engine? Haven't found much results searching.....

Thanks for your time,

Compression testers vary quite a bit from one to another. Comparison of one engines #s to anothers with different testers is meaningless. I'd just look for even numbers across the engine. Like +/- 5-10 PSI.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was mainly (should have stated) looking for the Honda specs for a new engine, I definitely know to look for uneven pressure between cylinders.

bascially anything above 175psi with spread between the cylinder of under 20psi is acceptable.

few of my motors I have done:
B16A: 215-215-212-210
D15B:210-206-210-209
B18C:240-240-235-234
ZC: 205-200-195-190

honda allows for 28psi spread and lowest reading of 140psi.

 

Thanks for the reply, one guy told me Honda calls for 185 psi as new on a stock B16a first gen. BTW... the ECU we purchased from you has worked flawless, and I've been telling everyone about your business.
