Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    compression test results

    just trying to see the range of compression test results from the chosen, boosted few...i got 210K on the motor but haven't done the test yet so i am curious who's high and who's low....thanks all.

    You want to be above 140 (160+ H23, 180+ H22), and you want it to be even; as in no more then 15 PSI difference between any of them

            this gives me hope that my current motor will last til summer when i'm done building the other motor....i don't plan to jump on it all the time so i'm hoping low boost (4-6 psi) will last that long....

                A motor will run with 100 PSI compression, but it won't make much power, and probably burn a lot of oil (or have a lot of gas deposits in the oil)

                          Okay, I have a quick question: Is it something I'm missing but why are all you guys' compression #'s so high? Is it b/c you did your checks while being turbo'd? You wouldn't see any boost while checking compression or would you (thus upping the comp. #'s)?

                          135 psi Minimal

                          92HondaEX-190-195psi

                          Why are these #'s so high being that 178psi is standard? These 4^ are all using the F22aX block w/ stock compression (I believe). I'm sorry for the noobish question

                            it will trust me just make sure you keep up with the maintenance and you should be straight and boost conservatively heh like thatll happen lol.

                              Some people may be forgetting to disable the fuel injectors when they run the test, which will definitely inflate the numbers.
