5SFE Compression Numbers, Post yours, heres mine- Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I finally bought a compression tester the other day, and got results for all four cylinders. Cylinders 1-4 all check out very consistent and even all the way across, maintaining around 180-185psi after several cranks of the piston reaching TDC. My battery isn't the greatest so it may not have been cranking at enogh RPM's to see proper results.

For reference, I wanted to get a little compression comparison going on so that I can get an idea of what people with healthy 5S's are running. I'm doing these checks to determine whether or not to lightly boost what I already have or to go for a newer 5SFE before the project begins.

Post up figures if you have them, otherwise let me know what you think of mine and what route I should take with the motor.

those are normal #s what you should check for if you want to boost the 5s is if you have the metal headgasket or not. that is what will help you for reliability and longetivity in your 5sfte.
