I am probally going to get a compression test this weekend to see how the motor is and thinking of nitrous. So what should the number be at? Thanks,
Jon

You can probably check the Haynes or Helms manual. I'll check.
Cylinder Compression pressure:
Standard - 178 psi
Minimum - 135 psi
Maximum variation between cylinders - 28 psi
(According to Haynes Manual: Accord 94-97 4cylinder)
Hope that helps.

my suggestion - go buy the stupid gauge and do it yourself instead of spending like $80 at the dealer. the gauges costs like $30 at Sears and all you do is take out all 4 spark plugs. put the gauge in 1 cylinder. turn the key until it cranks about 4 or 5 times then do that to the other 3 cylinders. it takes about 5 minutes to do but they still charge $80
