There is no oil consumtion or any smoke coming from the exhaust whatsoever. Not on decel, not on acc. So i think the stem seals are doing ok. I the last few days i think the noise is getting a bit louder. The funny thing is, when the car is cold, i cant hear the ticking. It starts when it...

I've already talked to the guy shortly after I noticed, He said that everything was ok and that he didn't notice any abnormal wear on the guides. I did some research and found that the exhaust-side valve guides are more likely to fail/wear out that the intake side. So that doesen't make sense...

I also find the injectors loud, but when i listened to each one with a screwdriver stethoscope (lol) i found that one was a bit louder than the others. A friend had a b16 engine in bits and i borrowed the injectors just to rule them out. Just checked the valves, everything in spec.

Forgot to mention, I've replaced the injectors with another set, no difference. I admit, it was the first time i've adjusted valves on a b series, did it before on a number of d series, so i know what i'm doing :). Another thing I should mention, when I adjusted them i've noticed they were all...

hello. I was wondering if it was possible that worn valve guides could cause a tapping/ticking like sound? I am asking because I've already did a valve adjustement, changed the stock lma for skunk2 lma. The sound is barely noticable, sounds just like a valve was not adjusted. Comes from the...

Hello. We've had a annual honda meeting here in Slovenia. Every year we meet here, have a car show and drive a little time attack on a go-kart track. Here are my 2 laps. (we drove one sighting/warm up lap and then 2 fast laps because of the short track. Everyone enjoys a little more track-time...

I've been working on the car a little in the past week. Got myself a tegiwa direct air flow pipe in kevlar and decided to weigh the stock resonator and the kevlar pipe. Here are the results in grams. a weight difference of about 1 kilogram (2,20 ibs). Performance wise, the throttle response is...

Thanks. It wasn't a problem, just bolted it up :).

hello. I've bought a used pair of front lower control arms and got them sand blasted, than zinced and finally powdercoated in black :). And just a photo my friend took as we were installing the new shocks and front lower control arms with new energy bushings. drives like a champ' now ;)...

Did you notice any gains with the dc2 airbox? Or just better sound :P Keep up the good work!

Hello. My name is Vid, I come from Slovenia. I've been reading this forum for quite some time now. Finally decided to show you my car. I've had it since 2010 and made a lot of things to it. It was originaly a ej9 but I did the engine swap and sorted all the paper work so it's road legal, my...

Bummer.. Hope you'll get it sorted. I wanted to buy it myself for a b16a2, but after I spoke to a tuner about it he sead that (they tried the v1 alpha on dyno and measured the AFR) it is to big / too open for the b16 and the engine would run lean.. (With 60mm decat and skunk2 megapower catback...

Did you install the header?

Hello. I have a couple of questions considering engine loom differences. I want to get everything right so I am gathering some info :). My plan is: Engine is a b16a2 from a 1998 vti, obd2a. I have sourced a engine loom with ecu and key from a 2000 vti obd2b. I am going to mount the...

:thanks: So you used the obd2b engine wiring and a obd2b to obd1 conversion with obd1 ecu? The obd1 sensor clippings are transfered on the obd2b wires?
