Thank you guys for the support. And yes cyl 2 and 3 jumped up 20 psi from added oil, so I didn't know if that was a big enough jump to cause concern. Until I do the leakdown test I'm assuming low psi on cyl 1 is a bent or burnt valve, more than likely an exhaust valve but who knows until I...

Or could having spark plugs in the other 3 cylinders affect the numbers?

Yeah there definately is gas in there. Do you think that could affect the numbers?

I'm going to do that after class tonight around 6. I just checked the level though, hasn't dropped at all in the 800 miles it has seen..

So some background info.. I bought a jdm gsr swap from a more shady vendor a few months back. I bought it because they had a video of them doing a compression test to it and it showed a strong 225 psi across the board - vin# on the block was included. Received the engine and found out it had...

I'll get some pics up of the nasty yellow sludge throughout the motor when I get some time. I must say as a buyer it is disturbing to see pics of the gunk before it got extracted from the inside of my "healthy" $3000 dollar purchase

And yes the clatter was ****ING unbearable! They were laughing when I went to pick it up and said it was the most hit LMA they had ever seen lol. Prob due to the water damage. Dunno how much help it would be but decided to buy a Lucas oil zinc additive to my Mobil 1 oil as preventive...

Thanks again for the support fellas... Good to feel a sense of community in this day and age! But in response to the low whp comment... My tuner said the same thing. He said he woukd like to see it 8-10 whp higher than what it is clocking - but he also added that due to the nature of the higher...

Please ignore the sad face at the top ^^^

Just got it back, idles super smooth now and purrs like a kitty. I meant to say knock sensor and managed to type 'crank sensor' in it's place. Regardless, you are THE MAN once again lol - the LMA did trigger the knock sensor, putting the car in limp mode. The cam timing was also thrown off...

Maybe I misunderstood him and he programmed the secondaries to changover the same time VTEC engages, because it does kick hard like my b16 did and not in 2 stages like the b18 did before the tune (cam then intake mani). Either way, he tuned the ratios to optimize the efficiency of my current...

Oh, and I believe the tuner disabled the secondaries (now always open) when he changed the power band and raised the VTEC engage point to 5250 +/- ... very smooth power delivery, still has usable street torque, and great gas mileage. Still pulls very nicely off the line and strong 5th gear pull...

Yeah some of the guys at the shop were suggesting h22a LMAs, much cheaper! Yes you did, very good call on the header.. it was a blessing in disguise though because I'm pretty sure the b16 header, even aftermarket trim, would still hamper exhaust flow out of the b18... as the ITR header piping...

Okay - a little update. I had a professional import performance shop do the swap. B16 header did not clear the oil pan as you guys suggested, but lucky for me a JDM ITR header was included, which worked out for the best. The head guy strongly suggested a hondata tune, so the butterfly secondary...

Okay guys, I've seen similar thread to this but not quite what I'm looking for and I am a noob so please take it easy on me :shrug2: ... I have a USDM 00 Civic Si (obd2b) and my motor blew up, so I figured why not time to upgrade? Wanted to make OBD conversion as easy as possible on myself, so I...
