Well I finally got my car back today from the body shop after a little run in with a deer and $4,000 worth of damage. I had plenty of little "gifts" sitting here waiting for it when I brought it home.

Since I received a new front bumper I had to remodify it for the intake duct I previously had. Check.

Installed a B&M FPR and gauge. Check. Probably one of the easiest installs I think I've ever done.

Fresh Mobil 1 5W30 and OEM filter. Check.

Fresh NGK BKR6E11's and OEM cap and rotor. Check.

While the plugs were out, I'd figure I'd do a compression test since I haven't done one since I bought the car roughley 21months and 30,000miles ago bone stock. 99 Civic Si by the way. (The car is far from stock now however.)

I went over and pulled the FI 15A fuse out of the fuse box and got out my compression meter and installed in numero uno. Got in the car, pedal to the floor and started cranking. Five times and stopped. Wow 225. Hmmm. I relased the pressure and did it another time. 225 again. Moved on to 2/3/4 and got 220/225/225. I felt my engine was strong, but I am pretty surprised. It's a stock internal B16A2 in case you're wondering. Still 10.2:1. Anyone else think this sounds high or can I go ahead and celebrate? I just wanna make sure I didn't do anything wrong or anything.

 

that sounds good to me. i dont know exactly what it is supposed to be at but its more important to have a nice consistant numbers accross the board. they are all pretty much the same so that is good. i think your set.

I wish I had this much compression in my d16z6
