Compression Ranges
#1
Can someone tell me what psi ranges indicate acceptable compression on a 13B-rew when the engine is COLD?
The Hayes manual for the second gen says 85 is the minimum, but that is with a fully warmed up engine....
Any help is appreciated!
Best,
John

my TII when it ran had like 95psi and 90psi. that engine ran fine. no hot start problems nothing. obviously the higher the number the better but if you get around 100psi the engine should run fine
Why does low compression lead to hot start problems? Whats the heat have to do with it?

well the ecu is setup to the "stock" compression specs, so thats one. the other thing is that the higher the compression the more torque you will have, so it will run and start better. thats not a really good way to explain it but i'm having a hard time putting it into words.
the heat basically acts like vapor lock, the fuel can boil in the rails and it might do other stuff too
