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

 

All 4 of mine were around 185-190. I heard thats good, not sure though

 

mine were 180-170-170-170. Mechanic said he wished they were a tad lower???

 

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.

 

:wtf:

 

Thanks guys :thumbup:

 

How much does it cost to get a test done? I'm curious what mine are.

 

what?

 

I'm just wondering why your mechanic would want your compression LOWER. :dunno:

 

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
