compression test results , thinking of turbo
ok, so i am looking to turbo my car, 96 accord lx , 2.2 non vtec f22b2 5 speed, odometer shows 197,xxx , but by the way it drives i figure maybe not original engine, so i did a compression test to see how it was running, this is what i got,
180 , 187 , 180 , 190, thats from left to right looking at the engine, i believe 4,3,2,1 ...what do you guys think, also please see my post in general tech help, i believe there may be a small piece of porcelen in the cylinder from a broken plug, could this be a problem???

oh it definatly under major construction, but still a driver, anyways, i am guessing there is no procelin in there as i drove the car today to and from work, about 45 minutes, and she's running just fine, although i am still getting some oil in the plugs even after a vavle cover gasket change, hmmm, anyways, so this is good compression?? so any other tests i can do before deciding to turbo this engine, as i said it runs really strong, my friend has an 01 civic d17 w/ aem cai, and spoon headers and skunk 2 exhaust and i walk him everytime, but he is not a great driver, anyways , i really feel this is not the original engine, and has alot less miles than odometer is reading, any info on help or tests i can do to fully determine the age and condition of my engine is definatly appreaciated, thanks guys

you want to turbo it?
knock yourself out. If the engine starts to burn oil like a mother, you can always swap in a JDM and just hook up the turbo to that.

can't you just call the guy/gal you purchased your car from and ask him/her what change he/she made? or call the dealer if that's the case...
also check the engine # and see if it matches your vehicle... (police do that to check for stolen engines)
