Tested the compression on my rebuilt KA24E today: 178, 175, 170, 168. Pretty high and even across the board. Then we tested my friends 94 Integra GS-R which has type r High Comp. pistions. His results: 290, 280, 270, 260. He is running like 10.8:1 cr.

Not too shabby. Did you use the stock pistons? My compression before teardown was around 150 per cylinder, but even across the board. My new pistons will take me from 8.6:1 to 10.5:1 compression ratio. I CANT WAIT!!

Yeah, stock pistons- <::kicks himself in the butt::> 10.5? you should be running in the high 200's easily. Nice setup. goodluck

High 200s will not be achieved from a 10.5:1 compression ratio. : ( Sorry to burst your bubble.

Ah ha, for some reason I thought you meant high 200hp, not compression. : ) My mistake, Sorry!
