they still sound like lawnmowers compared to honduh's, but that can still sound cool too

maybe there's a misfire going on? need a tune up maybe?

Did you even read the thread. I dont think new plugs will fix a broken ringland. 75 compression is ok though right . But maybe your onto something. Broken motor try new plugs. Maybe the d15b block I have with a rod stickin out of the side just needed a new set of ngk's. Thanks I have been doin everything wrong

I've got a d15 as well with a rod through it, maybe i'll try that. I'm just gonna get another motor in there this one was pissing me off anyway, main seal was leaking bad and it was burning a bit of oil too, and like you said those compression numbers were just gay. I already got ahold of one to put in I just gotta drive a few hours to get it.

If its boosted I would get it retuned has a basic low psi set up shouldnt kill a bottom end like that unless it was already beat

COLD compression test don't forget (on a d15, not b16a).

my guess is that 3 of those would be ok, #4 is ownd tho.

I don't know I think the sound of a Honda is more like a lawnmower.....The WRX sound to me is more manly.....But of course I have one so I might be biased...then againa I've plenty of Hondas too...so I guess I can talk... :P

My daily's D15B7 sat for two years, and then spit out 155-160 psi across the board cold compression. I didn't squirt any oil or anything in the bores at any point in it's two year shelf life.

I guess the guy did it cold engine, and did not open his throttle when cranking. That's cause the low numbers for the normal cyls. There's a good chance the #4 cyl is weak but limpable... just a little oil foulling that plug and you can get her to run okay for the short term while you get your ringland money together.

yes the throttle was closed
