There is no direct connection between compression ratio and pressure. Ratio is a mathematical calculation of the cylinder volume from bottom center to top center. Actual cylinder pressure will depend on the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Factors the affect volumetric efficiency include rpm, intake design, throttle plate size, amount of restriction in the exhaust, size of the valves, shape of piston and combustion chamber.

β 7y ago"600 psi" is not a compression ratio; it's a pressure. For a RATIO, you need to compare TWO different numbers.
You can't convert a RATIO (which is a pure number) to a MEASUREMENT such as psi. You get such a ratio by dividing two different pressures, for example.
Depends on the car. If it is naturally aspirated (no turbo or supercharger), then it's easy. Cylinder pressure = 14.5 (1 bar) * Compression Ratio. If however, it's forced induction: Cylinder pressure = ( 14.5 (1 bar) + Boost psi ) * Compression Ratio. For instance, in a naturally aspirated car with a 10.0:1 Compression Ratio : 145 psi = 14.5 * 10 Or in a turbo car with the unreasonably high 10.0 compression ratio with 10 psi boost : 245 psi= ( 14.5 + 10 ) * 10
Compression ratio is a ratio of the volume of gas in an engine's cylinder before and after combustion. To convert compression ratio to psi (pounds per square inch), you would need additional information such as the specific engine's cylinder volume, operating conditions, and fuel type to calculate the pressure generated during combustion. It is not a direct conversion and depends on various factors specific to the engine.
stock compression on a ka24de found in your 91-98 Nissan 240's is 178 9.5/1 ratio
Normal compression on a gasoline engine is about 125 psi.
The ratio is 9.5.1 in the 350 vortec. Doing a compression test you should not have any below 100 psi and all should be similar to each other.
