Gotta love those torques. :) Any of you actually thinking about getting the Brian Crower 2.2L resleeve kit in the future? :D

Have you actually paid attention while reading? Thats not what anyone said lol.

I said thicker not stronger. Boring a B16/18 sleeve out to 85mm would cause it to be very thin, but B20 sleeves will accomodate the 85mms just fine. :) If you ran 85bore/89stroke in a B18C you'd crack the sleeves as well. The main cause of blowing an engine in a B20B is not the sleeve...

My ideal build would be: ITR Crank and conrods 85mm pistons B20B block - the sleeves are actually thicker than B16/B18 blocks. That will net you 1979cc, more than an original B20B, while maintaining a B18C rod/stroke ratio. You guys in the US have it easy to find parts for this setup...

Symptoms sound like what is commonly known as engine rev hunting... Could be an off in the ignition timing and throttle idle position.

Yeah what i meant is it wouldnt affect the fuel mixture being lean or rich. :)

Not sure if thats true... RON is just a measurement of resistance against detonation after all. Higher RON just means you'll be able to run lean without detonation, but you'll still get the associated overheating and lubrication issues from the lean mixture. The O2 reading however shouldnt be...

Moon, yours is an ori Type-R? If it is and you dont need it, sell it to me. :D From Msia too.

You'll need a mechanic to reassemble it with the loading shaft (not sure what exactly its called) installed in the correct position between the plates (3 positions to choose from), if it indeed is a cusco LSD. And uh actually I saw it wrongly, the pic doesnt show which mode its in. It might...

You might want to change the setting from 1.5 way to 1 way if youre not doing a lot of tracking though. On slippery wet days having a 1.5/2 way may send you understeering and sliding about for no reason. :o

Guys, dont forget the everyday drive factor. While the EK9 is fast if you drive it flat out, in everyday driving I find the absence of low end power, the need to shift gears often (high gear ratios, high end power) pretty annoying, compared to a turbo car I had before. Overtaking is a...

Thats not a crash! Just a bump. From the title I thought another EK9 was a goner, luckily not. Looks like no problems (big) there. ;)

If you cant get a satisfying price for it, by all means keep it. The standard helical LSD doesnt respond that fast and direct after all, the Cusco RS operates like a clutch type LSD, is progressive as well and is also more aggressive. And they last for a long time... if I remember correctly...

Looks like a Cusco type RS to me. Cusco LSD housings have that colour. Used those before, they are awesome. ;) (Mine was the racing MZ-type though) They should be adjustable, yours look like its set to 1.5way. Does your steering feel heavy under decceleration as well? Either way its an...

But I thought that wouldnt work with the EK9 as its a viscous LSD? That should only work for clutch-LSDs... Does the LSD wordings wear out after sometime? I dont see them on my gearbox anymore, only S4C. edit: Just found out that it is actually a helical LSD. But its also a...
