compression is supposed to be around 185-190, that is for a fairly new engine, you have 156k miles, man that is a lot

the manual says minimum should be 142 so you are within the wear tolerances, it is expected to go down with time and it is ok as long as the compression is similar across all cylinders

if you are not having any issues keep driving, I would not do anything harsh like boost it, just enjoy it you probably have another 50k before worrying about rebuild

 

Thanks westpak, the reason i got the compression tested was when i accelerate its a huge delay before i have any speed. it doesnt whip you into your seat, and got beat by a turbo'd miata with only 233RWHP

 

Makes sense. You both had similar wheel horsepower, but you're lugging around significantly more weight.

any suggestions on way the huge delay?

 

:dunno:
Why don't you start by describing the problem?

Yeah, I'm not surprised that the Miata beat you. I bet it would beat a good deal of the NA Z's on this site.

Sounds like you might want to do some tune-up type stuff like air filter, plugs, throttle body and plenum cleaning, etc.

 

to start i have a 2003 350z automatic wiht a tiptronic trans, when i start to accerate in either auto or tip i have lots noise and rpm's but no power to the tires. i have a AEM Cold Air Intake, Full exhaust not catback (4.5"), and for tires 245/35R19F & 275/35R19R. when i tried to race the miata it was a rolling start at 40mi/h @ 4500RPM and i dropped out at 87mi/h when he hit 125mi/h

 

****, sounds like you got your ass KICKED!

Maybe your torque converter is going out? :dunno:
