So, after coil, plugs, ESS module, MFA module (chasing codes) and advice on compression from the forum (#1 90psi, #2 70psi),I got the car running. Power was lacking, missing on one rotor, but fine over 6000 rpm. Lots of smoke. Smooth and powerful over 6 grand, pulled home in a cloud of steam and smoke. Found about all coolant draining out along with 3 quarts of oil! Will crank, but no start.
Did I blow it up?
Ordered a 35,000 mile engine today!

Comes with starter, will test. What should be acceptable?

It's usually not recommended to get a used Renesis.

Hopefully it comes with a warranty that you can actually use...

buying a used renny without a comp test is about as smart as going down on/raw doggin a hooker

WAT? Are you saying you have massive coolant and oil leaks? Like, it's leaking onto the ground?

Compression tests have to be done with the engine warm. Doing them cold will give artificially high numbers.

This is why used JDM eBay engines never have compression test numbers even when they're fully dressed with transmission and starter.

There's also a reason why these engines never come with a warranty beyond "will start".

I wish you the best but you've taken an awful risk.

And you can't properly compression test a cold engine out of the car.
