alright today i got a compression test today. so from left to right (looking towards the engine) the numbers are 170 170 170 180. is this good, bad, or normal...

Not bad at all, how many miles on the motor? And boosted not?

is your motor rebuilt with lower compression or still stock. if it's stock that is a little low. i think normal for stock is 200.

it is all stock with 65000 on the motor. it is not boosted at the moment, thats why i did the compression test, the turbo is sitting in my room.. waiting.

for that amount of miles your ok....I have 175 all accross, with 8:8 compression, just rebuilt...If you turbo, just rebuild or...Or at least have the money saved- you will get boost happy- and with an old motor you will blow somthing

Boost it for Christ's sake. :thumbsup

Wow this makes me feel really good. 180k mi, and I checked my compression about 3 weeks ago. 210-210-210-210. I had to check it twice to make sure. I can't wait to get a 50 trim on this pile.

damn dude.. you sure someone didn't put high comp pistons in there before you got the car? haha..
some guys have trouble getting those numbers with a just rebuilt motor. I got 195's and 205's on my old zx2 with 50K miles.

i get consistent 200-205 across...72k and was boosted and abused for 10k

I useally get between 215 to 220 across the board with the engine fully warmed up at 55000 miles. I mush have a freak motor or something :shrug
