Did a compression test...

[92ex]

Well after Alex EX blew his ringlands, it got me worrying, and I didn't want to do a compression test then. So I've been waiting it out and finally I decided to take the plunge. Bought a tester today and check it...170,180,180,170...Now if I'm thinking correctly, that a perfectly healthy jdm f22b with 9.2:1 compression. So I'm thinking thats about right, any opinions? It's just a bit of relief running 8psi daily on a 14b for 1.5 years.lol

wow thats pretty cool.

how many miles on the turbo setup? and what do you think is making your engine hold up what seems to be really well?

[Boost_Lee]

good news....i should try mine out too...its been a yr and a half...

[Alex EX]

DAMN YOU! when will you join the blown side? just give it a lil more time..

what makes it last so long is the fact I've learned from others mistakes/problems. If it wasn't for 91accordexr33 I probably would have blown the motor by now. I remember talking to him and how he blew the f20a, too much timing with leaking oil into the intake. Reduces the octane or whatever, more prone to detonation, and boom. I would advanced timing a bit more if he didn't tell me that. Iamanonymous blew his f22b with a boost spike, so I haven't put my manual boost controller on because I don't want that(although the chances are slim, 8psi is fine with me). All it is is a matter of maintence and knowing what to look for before you have problems. Sad thing is, I don't have a catch can, and never have. I'll get one sometime soon.

As for miles, it probably has 15000 on it, about 50000 on the motor, and 190k on the chassis. And dropped the motor straight in without doing any maintainence to it, which I regret but it has held up fine. Basically if you have a good tune, the motor will last a long while turbo'd. and I beat on it, A LOT. lol

my jdm h23 with 9.8:1 CR has 210 compression across the board, decided to test after seeing the thread and having burned a ring before.

[92ex]

nice, thats a healthy motor. I guess my numbers would be right on with my compression. Your running the 16g right?

[prodigymb]

yup the big 16g

[Accord R33]

not bad!

All the knowledge you have acquired over the past year or so is the biggest factor! All these noobs comming in, throwing turbo kits on and knowing nothing about it is what gives boost is bad rep. look at MRX, as far as i know his is still running strong! and its been boosted forever.

(Note: that wasnt directed towards Alex in any way)

[Alex EX]

lol no offense taken.. i was ridin fine for 2+ years but my dumbass drove it untuned for 2 days and then it smoked

[MRX]

not bad!

yea still riding strong, subtle changes here and there but nothing done to the block. How its still running?...i don't know

I asked myself the same thing before i sold the accord

[amd3dnow3]

its good to hear good things about great things like boost.
also glad that your setup has lasted that long and still running strong , got a question how many whp u putting down with 8psi on that 14b? ill be running similar set up very soon.

[92ex]

@8psi i put 205wtq 194whp. i creep to 10psi a lot though. it can be a very reliable setup as long as its tuned well and maintainenced is kept up with. and I beat on my car a lot and its a DD
