Re: What compression test numbers do I want? (performula)
What's the compression ratio?
Usually a Honda motor with it's compression between 9.1:1-9.9:1 should be anywhere between 170psi and 185 psi, these are good strong numbers.
The B16A1 has a compression of like 10.2:1? I don't know, but I'd say you should be okay with numbers above 180psi on the b16&17... Whereas the B18 falls in the catergory above.
I'm not %100 sure on this! All I know is that my setup (z6/y8) yields a 9.8:1 compression ratio: I did a compression test and it's putting out 180 psi on all four. Not too bad...
