    The white-mess, my EM1 Si with a d16y8.

    I am looking forward to your impressions on the rods and pistons you chose. Those are the same ones I have been eyeballing for mine when I get ready to build it.

    That is a bummer for sure. This is why I keep telling myself to wait on boosting my d16 until I can build a motor to handle it. Thank you for keeping up on a great thread and thank you for helping me to hopefully avoid a similar situation.

    Talk to me about tuning now

    At the risk of thread jacking, I would love to know the pros and cons of neptune vs hondata. I have not used either but based on what I have researched over the last year neptune seems to be a perfectly capable product that is slightly better priced. if this is too far off topic let me know and...

    Intermittemt miss under load

    I find the voltage reading to be interesting. low voltage could cause all kinds of drive ability problems. is there a practical way for you to rig up a volt meter to the battery that you can monitor and check against the log on another pull? I am wondering if you are fighting low system voltage...

    Intermittemt miss under load

    Old gas could be the culprit. the cheapest and easiest next step to try would be topping the tank with fresh high octane fuel and run it around a while. if any improvement is noted than try to run the tank down and fill it up again with fresh fuel and see if it keeps getting better. If no...

    Intermittemt miss under load

    does it miss at idle? light load? Wot? checking inside the distributor cap for moisture/crap is a good place to start. How old is the gas in the tank? is it a light miss that you can hear but not really feel or is it a hard miss like it's running on 3 cylinders?

    The white-mess, my EM1 Si with a d16y8.

    If you take the boots off the steering rack take a close look at the internals. I don't remember if it applies to this generation of civic but I know on the 4th gen steering racks there is a plastic bushing in the passenger side of the rack body that wears out and can cause shake and wobble that...

    Fix the engine and trans mounts. also check the inner cv joints for play while you are at it. bad mounts are the most common cause for your issue. bad mounts also do bad thing to the inner cv joints.

    L-Civic ('91 Civic DX Sedan)

    I dig it. if Mad Max drove a honda that would be it :) If you are still looking for tail lights or what not PM me. I have a sedan sitting in front of my shop that I am getting ready to send to the recycle yard. I would be happy to donate what I can to your cause before it gets crushed.

    91 Civic fuel pump removal?

    Sounds right from memory. I should have time this weekend to dig it up and check for sure

    91 Civic fuel pump removal?

    on my brothers 91 civic si I had to drop the tank to access the fuel pump. There is an access hole under the rear seat but it only allows you to disconnect the pig tail from the pump hanger. Dual: I think I still have a spare gas tank in my storage. I will see if I can find it and snap a pic...

    ignition issues

    It is possible that he could have fried any number of fuses or components when he did the wire tuck if he connected the wrong wires together. As far as the key not turning all the back to the lock position I would try getting some spray lube and go after the lock cylinder. it is amazing how...
