    Coolant issue

    Does the temp gauge increase? Coolant coming out with increased revs when cold? Could be a sign of a clogged radiator or even a stuck thermostat. When the car warms up, do both coolant hoses get warm? Was there any milkyness in the coolant, or does it look ok? PS I'm pretty sure I recently...

    wanna give my engine more power

    http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html I suggest reading through this to get a full grasp at how turbocharging a system works. This will help you make better decisions when both purchasing parts and troubleshooting when issues occur. Remember the golden rule: Cheap, Fast, Reliable...

    Planing a turbo build on a 1999 civic ex D16y8

    Just remember, "pounds of boost" is not a measurement of power. 6lbs of boost with a T3 will act MUCH different compared to 6lbs of boost on a GT35R. THIS LINK HERE should help you out with understanding how a turbocharged system works. Like MC said, look into Go-Autoworks and Xenocron. I had...

    Exhaust smell inside

    Not always, as @boofoo already stated. I had a Y7 motor with a hairline crack on the exhaust manifold behind the heat shield. No power loss, no loss in gas mileage. I could smell it when it was cold but that was really it. Never thought it was much of an issue until I had a buddy ask me what the...

    Just to confirm, you have an automatic 96 Civic, and a manual 94 Civic, and want to swap the manual transmission and Z6 block from the 94 and then reuse the Y8 head from the 96...

    B16A to B20B questions

    I can only help with #1... Yes you can likely reuse them -- they're ARP which are top quality. Just check the threads for stretching or damage before reinstalling.

    1994 Civic ex performance help

    Yeah, you've done just about all you can with that motor unless you get into wanting to spend $$. Either a motor swap or turbo would be your best bet. You can probably swap the motor for under $1k if you can find everything you need. Turbo would cost you a couple grand to do correctly, maybe...

    turbo & road race suggestions: 00 EK hatch

    :welcome: to ClubCivic I think your first step would be to set a goal. Which type of "road racing"? Autocross, track, etc? What you want to do should determine your goals. Assuming by road race, you mean track ;), so really it depends on how much power you want, and your budget. You can keep...

    Ep3 Type r loss of power at high revs

    He means highway, I am not sure why he abbreviated it like that, lol. I'm not sure if his suggestion will work though, because pulling the secondary o2 sensor wont magically unclog the cat if it's plugged up. The gases will still be backed up in the exhaust system. I think next step is what...

    2004 Civic EX - vibration at low RPM while engaging new clutch

    I thought you just had the clutch replaced? It shouldn't need to be replaced already. Or did I misunderstand something somewhere? Good catch on the bad bearing and motor mount by the shop. Might as well replace the mount rather than fill it in, it will be sure to last that way!
