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

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.

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.

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- $250, if you pull the head yourself.
Hi
The smartest thing to do when you see a race like this is bet 2$ 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...
Hi
Most of the time this is a vacuum leak problem. Try covering the throttle body with your hand or something, the engine should die. If the engine keeps running it is definately a vacuum leak. Mine was the throttle body gasket. Could be intake manifold gasket or a vacuum hose. Try...
Hey being different is one thing, being stupid is another. Get the B18c1 if you are going to turbo it. Use the money you saved to port and polish your head. You will be much better off.
Chris
Hi
You probably have a vacuum leak some where. Try covering the throttle body with your hand. If the engine keeps running good, you definately have a vacuum leak somewhere. On my swap it was a throttle body gasket. If it is vacuum it could also be the intake manifold gasket or a hose...
