compression test
 

Did a compression test on my accord today. got 145, 145, 145, and 148. Thats with almost 150k on it, me beating the crap out of it for the last 25k, and slight mods. do you think it'll handle the turbo with 8lbs.

What is the acceptable limit for your motor?

145, is that hot or cold? thats kinda low, probly wont take boost for very long till you start getting massive blow by

Re: compression test
 

then what happens? (when you get major blow by)

Stock for mine is surprisingly low my tech teacher told me 150 and he worked for honda for awhile so I guess he would know. I was just pleased it was actually that even ;D I'll probually be doing a head gasket before boost, but it would'nt be that much harder just to put new rings and bearings in while I have the head off anyways.
