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?

i finally got a leakdown test done...
1st - 10% leakage
2nd - 12% leakage
3rd - 20% leakage
4th - 9% leakage

seems pretty good to me

also redid compression test on 3rd, and it is 140. still within spec of toyota's 14psi between all 4 cyl.

i think that the low compression is just a worn engine (100k miles engine)

i didin't bother checking where it was leaking from because my mech did this for me for free on a saturday afternoon after his shopped closed and i didn't feel like wasting too much of his afternoon

so now that i have both leakdown and compression...

is it safe to say my engine is in fairly good condition, fit for FI?
