wise decision gents, my brother's EK4 SiR 4dr sedan with B16A2 comes stock with a "6" plug & when i inspected my EK9's plug it had a "7" so off the NGK plugs & in the Denso IK22 plugs.

the B16B comes with a "7" plug so you should at least get a similar heat range plug whether it's platinum or iridium.

this is so untrue unless you're experiencing major detonation. we have been using Denso Iridium plugs for years now & we haven't encountered such a problem.

get rid of the 18" wheels, it makes your final gear ratio taller making the engine work harder to roll it, stick to the 15" wheels. replace your plugs if they are still the original ones, what intake you have on?

i agree with this assesment, hydrolock can only cause such a sudden & catastrophic engine failure.

what you may be referring to is the RATE OF IGNITION. btw if our engines are running with exploding mixtures we would have melted or holed pistons in the first few minutes of operation, detonation is the sudden explosion of combustible mixture inside the combustion chamber. for an engine to...

even with iridium plugs they need to be re-gapped foryour intended purpose, i use IK27 plugs on my race tuned scooters & the manufacturer who makes my digital ignition says to gap the plug to 0.45mm. btw gapping the plugs will not change the ignition timing of the engine.

armor, get armor for your body & legs, you're more liable to break bones & dislocate joints in an off road excursion.

yeah it's bad but not as bad as that orange EK9, a Civic coupe is very common in your place but an EK9? the only place you could buy that is Japan & to ruin such a perfect car (rare to boot) is sacrilege & an insult to us EK9 enthusiasts.

EK4's were never released in the US (EK is JDM), only the Civic EM1 coupe 99-00 came with the B16A2 engine. btw we do have a PhDM EK4 SiR 4dr sedan with a B16A2 engine.

results vary from dyno to dyno, one dyno may read 150 & another may read 160/140hp so it is best to test using only 1 & the same dyno.

i haven't got a dyno but the principle of removing the padding is to increase the volume of the airbox & to let the resonant frequency inside the airbox to go undamped which can help increase power. this is why motorcycle manufacturers spend millions in R&D to develop airboxes in their high...

B16B 185hp (crank), B18C 205hp (crank), add those aftermarket exhaust, intake, ECU & close ratio gears & you'll be exceeding your goal easily. even with B16B you'll have a hard time getting real 200hp at the wheels let alone 210. get the '98 spec B18C if you can.

thou art correct, a lot of people mistake me for being the youngest but their jaws drop when i tell them i am the oldest. :D

distributor cap :secret:

start on a cheap beater 250 or 400cc bike, it is always assured you're going to drop it while learning to ride a motorcycle, buy some decent gear (helmet, jacket, gloves, armored pants, boots) & enroll in a motorcycle riders course. ride it for a season or 2 to rack up the necessary skills &...

you will notice a dramatic improvement in throttle response with the header change but i didn't test it under WOT with the stock exhaust system but with all stock exhaust system (exhaust manifold included) it's struggles to 8000rpm. now with a full FGK header & 60mm exhaust system it easily...

youngest, i am the eldest among 4 brothers. :shocked: that's me on the left & the red car is a 2000 Honda Civic SiR EK4 4dr sedan.

i have an EK4 B16A2 4dr sedan (PHDM) with FGK (fujitsubo) 4-2-1 header from a B16B/B18C engine & it mates up quite well to the stock exhaust but the hanger for the 2-1 pipe was cut off by the previous owner, other than that no problems with fit. primary tube size is 43mm, secondary is 51mm...

after days of searching the local honda forums we finally got a full system for my bro's EK4 sedan, it's a Fujitsubo 60mm chambered muffler exhaust system & it's in fairly decent condition, it came off from a DC2 96 spec & there's only a single modification neede to make the whole midpipe &...
