I know factory manual say ,if below 7kg u need for sure

My car start up fine, either cold or hot , no blow by from hour of race

My engine is stock with 99 turbo
Race hour about 16hr

The reason I am.ask opion is, recently I read one shop at japan , saying if ur. Stock FD3S compression number is below 7.5 u should consider rebuild

The theory behind is, the min compression is list way back in FC3S era~
At that time FC have much lower hp, so as for later model inorder to keep 90%of ur engine performance, the C/P number should be over 8KG

Personaly I think if it start up fine ,no blow by and ur CP number are even and above 7
I would not open it😀

7.7, 7.8, 7.9... I'd keep beating on that engine! Rebuild it when it goes pop or below 6.

NO unless you are getting paid to race and people are beating you because of the engine :)

I've heard 5.8 as rebuild time. I drive mine until it won't hot start.
