I did a compression test on my B16a motor today and it was 180 acroos the boards. Is that about right? Should i be closer to 200? Also this is the JDM
B16a.

Thanks Tim

i would say that if they are all within 10% or so of each other, your motor is prettty well off. now go put a turbo on it and have fun.

Throttle open?...engine warm?

I held the gas pedal down but i didnt drive the car for about 6 hours when i did the test. I will check it again tomorrow after it is warm.
