Compression Test Results, update: new comp test results Options

[elvasoshexai]

hm.. this is kinda both engine and FI question... but i think i'll just put it here:

I had a compression test done today just to see how my engine is doing...
1st-150
2nd-150
3rd-140
4th-150

brand new engine would be approx 180 or so psi... but my numbers are still acceptable right?

i think anything above 100 is fine for stock engine and anything above 130 is fine for turbo engine?

my engine has about 100000miles on it...

even though these numbers are acceptable... is it necessary to take a further look into it?

with these numbers would it be safe to go FI?

hm... a lot of people are saying those are really bad numbers and that maybe the test wasn't done right.. and that if the numbers are really that bad to just toss the engine since such low compression #s probably won't be cheap to fix...

should i jsut try to do another myself first?

if i do it myself.. i gotta buy a kit.. does this seem ok:

equus compression tester kit:
-Large, easy-to-read 2½" dial face with dual-calibrated, colour-coded scales
-15" high-pressure rubber hose
-Side-release valve allows repeated tests without disconnecting the hose
-One 12mm and one 14mm adapter included for broader applications such as motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and watercraft
-Quick-disconnect fitting for easy installation
