Does anybody know the compression that should be in a b18b1 motor? i dont need the ratio, i need the compression in PSI ? does anybody know it? my engine is showing around 150psi in all 4 cylinders and its not running right...

it shouldn't exceed 199 psi or be lower than 135 psi in a b18b1

how is it running

i think that it must be running rich or something, because when i drive it does not pull at all, has no power. it idles good, but when i rev it up it starts to misfire or something i dont even know

without really lookin at it all i could really do is guess but start with the tune up

An LS SHOULD somewhere around 175-180 psi. 150 is kinda low.

even though 150 sounds a little low it should run fine with that compression.
