My bet is valve seals. Chris

Try to cover the throttle body with your hand, and see if the engine starts to die. If it keeps running it is definately a vacuum leak. I had a similar problem, turned out to be the throttle body gasket. Good Luck Chris

Dude what is the most important thing to have working well when you drive a 2000lb car fast? Good brakes. Replace the pads too. Their relatively cheap and that extra 50ft. in stopping distance could save your ass. Chris

You might not have the wiring harness correct. Sounds like problem we had. There are two connections on the throttle body that you can switch the harness will fit both ways. If it is wrong it will run like shit smoke and not rev. It has been a while so I am not sure with ones they are but I...

Hi Definately sounds like a vacuum leak. I had a leak, check every hose it ended up being the throttle body gasket. It look ok but car would not run until I put on a new one. Good luck. Chris

Hi The only thing I can see on the cams are one has an E on it I assume for exhaust, and one had a D on it I dont see any other markings. Chris

Hi I purchased a motor that is suppose to have Skunk 2 cams. How can I tell if they are Skunk 2 Cams and if so what Stage they are. Thanks Chris

Hi I would go with a B18c1 with a turbo. Talk to to Jeff at Importbuilders.com he can get you all setup. Tell him what you want and what you got to spend and he will get you there.

Hi JRSC are not going to give you as much HP as a turbo. It will probably give you about 40 -50 to your engine. They are probably alittle easier to install. You have less risk of blowing your motor, because you cannot crank up the boost. Because with turbos some people seem to think if 10...

Hi To me it sounds like your rings are ok. I would recommend pulling the head getting a valve job done and have new valve seals installed. This should only run you between $175- $250, if you pull the head yourself.

Hi Check the coil. Use an ohm meter and test the coil. Chris

Hi The smartest thing to do when you see a race like this is bet 2$ to win on every horse. If the favorite dont win you cant loose. I think it was the jockeys fault too. He should have laid off the pace a few lengths and not made a move until the far turn. I thought after the Preakness he...

Hi I say go with a B18c1 you should be able to get into one for your $3500. I put one in a 94 EX and it was my first time. You should be able to do it in a weekend. Hopefully you have some friends that can help. The reason I would go B18C1 is because you should be right around 14 with just a...
