Going back to NA - do I need a compression test?

[bngl3rt]

Hi all,

I am in the process of buying an NSX that was CTSC. I asked that the CTSC be removed (yes, that does mean a CTSC kit will be for sale soon, so stay tuned :smile and am wondering whether I should get a compression test done on the freshly-returned-to-NA engine. Runs fine and sounds nice but I want to make sure it's healthy.

I understand lots of people run the CTSC and have had it for a long time, and seems to be very reliable - any reason to be concerned?

I'd say you should have a compression test done before buying.

It was tested with CTSC on - what I'm wondering is if it should be tested again once CTSC is removed.

It shouldn't make any difference.

Cool. Thanks all.

Why did you remove it?

Why did you remove it?

I didn't, the previous owner did because he would make more money selling it separately - I didn't really care one way or another so I wasn't going to pay the same premium for it as someone who cared a lot.

If you think you would want it, you should buy the car with it. I'm sure you would spend less now versus later.

hang on to the CTSC for a while. you might regret not keeping it later :biggrin:. Unless you need the extra $ or something...
