Hey guys - I drove my car last night and it seemed to run fine. I just finished reswapping it from another EK where the motor always ran well. This morning I went out to start it and the car turns over but doesn't catch and run normally. It has been really cold as well. I thought maybe a...

Hi All I just finished dropping a B20B in to my 98 Integra LS. It appears that the B20 runs a little on the cold side while driving - the gauge usually sits around 1/4 - 1/6 of total temp. My B18B sat around 1/3 overall temp - is this normal for the B20B to read this way?

Hi all I am dropping a B20B Longblock with a GSR Tranny in to my existing 98 Integra LS. Can I get away with running the stock LS clutch and flywheel or should I really invest in a stage2 or 3 clutch to cover the extra torque? Money is kinda tight right now. Can I use the LS clutch? I'm not...

Hey All - I will be adding a rear strut brace to my Civic EK hatch in the near future. There are 2 distinctly different designs I am considering. 1 is the TDM X Bar. It is a knock off of the more expensive Miracle X Bars. The 2nd is the Password JDM 4 Point Strut Bars. Both look solid but...

Hi All I have a B20 Long Block I am planning on swapping in to my 98 Inegra LS. I know it will be a direct swap using the LS parts but my question is: how much of a pain in the ass is it to keep the A/C and Power Steering? This is my commute car and I really want to keep at least the power...

hey all- so we bought my girlfriend an unloved 97 EK hatch that I am fixing up for her. my plan is to SMOG the D16Y6 motor and install a B20B w/GSR Tranny we already bought for it. But right now the D16Y6 is overheating. It happens right as the car warms up then and only then does the idle...

anyone rub their tires when lowered? hey all- so I'm still having my tires rub after lowering my car on Eibach Sportline Springs (1.7" drop) and some OK aftermarket struts (seem fine). the thing is I did a front & rear camber kit when I dropped the car and that is prolly where my troubles...

Hi All- I just did a drop on my 98 Integra this weekend with Eibach Spotline springs (about 1.7" drop). Now my tires have rubbed through the splash guards on corners and my rear camber adjustment make the tires scrape the fender wheel wells and will wear out the tires like this. What's up with...

Hi All- I want to add the folding Integra power mirrors to my Civic EK. Do the DC2 Integra Power Mirrors bolt right on to a 96-00 Civic EK? ahhVTEC hear my call! ;) Thanks

Hey All- I was about to pick up some JDM EK Power Mirrors for my 96 Civic Hatch. The DC2 OEM Power Mirrors seem to be cheaper (more around domestically) Question: Do the Integra DC2 Power Mirrors fit on an EK? If not, what is the issue - wrong shape? Thanks.

Hey All- I'm going to buy a set of Rota Circuit 10's size 15" 4 lug. What's the ideal offset for this rim on a 96 Civic EK? 40? Thanks!

Hey All- I have resumed working on my 1998 Integra DC2 after getting the motor in on my 1996 Civic EK. Question: How do people tint their headlights with that yellow fog light color? I am guessing it is some sort of film that goes over the headlights? I'll try to post a picture of it tonight...

I just did a B18C swap in to my 1996 EK. Do I need to get a fuel pump from a B series motor or is it the same size already? My motor is mostly stock.

What's up all. So I just finished my basic swap and am pretty pleased. The car is fast. But it needs to be polished off still. Basically: Motor mounted in chasis fine. I had to turn the key for like 6 seconds and the thing came alive! The ITR intake doesn't bolt down very well. The headers...

sup all. I am considering painting my jdm aluminum radiator with a can of flat black primer so it won't stand out so much. Would painting it increase or decrease its cooling efficiency and why? :huh: Thanks!

What's up all. I am trying to go the easy route and just buy a USDM Engine Wiring Harness for my JDM B18C5 swap to save myself some trouble wiring up VTEC. I heard that a 99-00 USDM Civic SI Harness is the one to get since it is out of an EK chasis and is plug and play. My question is can I...

What's up guys. I have read that the Del Sol VTEC radiator is the one to get for any B-Series related motor swap. I called my local Honda Dealership (Ocean Honda in Capitola, CA) and was quoted around $450 for the oem Del Sol VTEC Radiator!! F'in dealerships.. Anyways so the three current...

hey all. like the title says. do I need a usdm lhd si harness since my jdm B18C came with a rhd harness? my friend who is going to help put it in says I should get one. I have a lhd 96 EK hatch. btw I never read this anywhere so I am curious. it seems like someone would have mentioned this...

so I'm just about ready to do the jdm 96 B18C5 complete swap I bought from Nagasaki Motors. The old valve cover is pretty old and the breather hose stem that connects to the vc got broken off in transit. So I'm going to replace the timing belt and valve cover with the swap (along with the...

ok so someone please settle this for me once and for all. I know I need the Rear Tranny mount and Driver Side Mount from a 99-00 Si. But can I use 96 spec Type R Axles in my 1996 EK or no. If I had to guess I would say they are better. thanx!
