i actually had a similar problem in my ek...I never performed a swap, but I put some injector cleaner in, fixed the rough idle for the most part, as for the shutting off after vtec I researched and found for those years honda has a recall on ignitions...needless to say took it to a friend of...

would gold rims similar to rota slips look nice on a milano red ek civic with a carbon fiber hood?

I have a garrett t3/t4 turbo, turbosmart 38mm wastegate, dumptube, trust racing (same as greddy) core fmic (not a big one but gets the job done), oil feed line, some off brand bov, and an fmu. I also have dseries manifold and a downpipe but you said you have them. By the way this is all off of...

Ok thanks for the help. Really appreciate it

Well how much should a tune fir that typically cost? Just so I know if I'm getting ripped off. And will I be able to drive an hour away on the pistons without tune? And last noob question will I need bigger injectors?

If high compression pistons are installed on a d16 is fuel or engine management required? Also are forged rods needed?

Ok so I installed my garrett turbo on my d16 and the downpipe doesn't fit right but it on for now until I can afford a new one. my question is I'm not getting any boost and actually I stay in vacume according to my gauge but I figure that's where it normally would be. Is this becuase the flange...

My fans stopped working in my 1999 d16 I checked the fuses and I even traced the visible wires from both fans to see if the insulation had worn anywhere and it hasn't. Need help fast

Alright so this is a noob question; should the port on the wastegate be bigger than the port on the manifold. I have a cast iron manifold which is supposed to hold a 38mm wastegate (which I bought) and the port on the wastegate is about 2-5mm bigger than the manifold port. Is this the way it...

yeah I figured I would but cast iron is pretty hard to weld isn't it. I mean if I can't do I know people who can.

Is there any type of putty or sealant that will not be affected by the heat from a turbo manifold? Maybe muffler putty. My t3 has a circular t3 flange and my manifold has the standard t3 flange and there's probably aout a 2mm gap I'm tryig to fill in.

I have a 99 ex and it randomly shuts off while driving. It doesn't matter if the car is warmed up or not or whether it it wet out or not sometimes the engine just shuts off. Wen this happens I lose power to everything for a split second but then as soon as I pull the key out and try to start...

well thanks for all of the help...but one more question will a piggy back system like emanage do the job for me...and also is it hard to use?

yeah I know I came off sounding really dumb but I love building my car just not as talented as you guys are and I'm building my car because I want to kinds just curious if in yhevprocess of it I could beat some guy I don't like. Didn't mean to sound like a hard a$$. But yeah what kind of tune...

well I'm not looking to beat just that prelude but the thing is nobody here will notch blocks and I am mechanically retarded compared to most so just pistons are my only option. So I'm still curious to see how much whp I can make. Plus there might a nitrous plan for myself down the road.
