Unfortunately after a trip together et my car pre season tidy I ran and tuned the distributor decided to give up on the dyno and go into some Sort of limp mode showing a sensor fault inside the dizzy, meaning I am now in desperate need of a fully working faultless Ek OBD2 (single plug)...

I have one I stripped to make manual. It was working until not long ago lol! The Ek9 and the b16 ek racks are identical I've had both apart counted the pinion gears and the rack teeth compared both and the turning ratio is identical!

I think it's more the servo that is causing the soft pedal. I might keep the bigger MC and change the servo to standard

hi Spek9 thanks for your reply. this method is exactly what I do with the car. I think the issue could be to do with the bigger brake servo on the car causing a bigger vacuum and the pedal going soft when the car is on? The master cylinder is also bigger than a standard ek4 one. I have sourced a...

Thanks, I have no choice now anyway as the car is completely stripped so I will need to bleed the whole system from fresh. Il probably end up doing it to find out that the Master cylinder is goosed. I never thought of bleeding the car whilst the engine is on though so hopefully this might help...

cheers mate, its completely stripped at the moment so I just wanted to know if I should change anything now before it all goes back together as I imagine it will be a small pain if I need to do it after lol.

Thanks guys :)

Fair enough cheers for the reply mate appreciate your thoughts. If anyone else also had this please let me know.

Pretty poor lol I could of done better myself with a hand file and I aint no engine builder.... I thought these engines were meant to be the flagship of Hondas engines for the b16s hand built heads I thought?? Looks like a monkey built that in his shed whilst high on something. In all...

But the markings are standard? I race in the civic cup and engine has to be standard so want to make sure I'm not going against the regs thanks, Dave

Ye I thought possibly it was but someone said it may of been blue printed

Hi I recently bought a B16B engine. I am no expert with these engines so was wondering if anyone knows what the markings on the inside of the head are, looks to me like someone has been grinding away with a dremel, also there was a number in black pen on the head when looking through the oil...
