    engine swap

    :welcome: If you want a B18 engine, you'll probably want a B18 transmission, though any B-series one will work. You can use the same harness in there now, though you'll need to modify it. There's wiring to be done, moreso if you go with a Vtec engine, and especially if your motor now is not...

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    It's 56* here right now in Rochester. It was around this time last year that Buffalo was hit with the Snowpocalypse and had 6 FEET of snow dumped on them. This year they haven't even had anything measurable.

    CH33V5's Slow '99 EJ8 Build Thread

    IMO would look infinitely better with normal fenders / hood / gas cover. Hows TKE treating you? I'm ΣX alum, but we had TKE at our school too.

    And still it clunks

    Any easy "pre-check" to the motor mounts, is to simply pop the hood and see if you can shake /rock the motor. It should move slightly, but if you can get it rocking, chances are you have a motor mount issue.

    And still it clunks

    Also check the heatshield as previously mentioned. This is a very common issue with these cars, though it will produce a rattle, not a clunk.

    NOSS Passenger Day

    Nope, I am not yanking your chain. You posted a link that takes anyone to their own YT page.... which is why you see yours. Here's what you're looking for, I fixed your first link too. :thumbs up https://www.youtube.com/user/WJP004/videos Moving this to Off-Topic, though ;)

    need help with this turbo situation

    Yeah, I'd remove the piping, turbo, and exhaust manifold, and get replacements. Do you know if the car is tuned and / or what it's tuned on? Half ass build could mean half-ass or no tune, which means you could be replacing parts just for them to break again...

    No Crank / No Start

    I took these posts out of another thread and started your own. Not sure if you have a 6th gen (96-00 year Civic), so please provide as many details as possible for the most help. @Danniwrae1995 Thanks!

    need help with this turbo situation

    :welcome: What do you mean by hub, the turbo turbine housing? The turbine housing should be bolted to the turbo manifold, aka (header). The downpipe (exhaust) should be bolted to the turbine housing as well. If it's welded together, which seems to be the case if the bolt holes are filled, I'd...

    05 Civic LX Really Bad Mpg

    89 is our low grade here... we have 89, 91, 93. It's unavoidable sometimes haha. Though some places have 87, the place I go to does not, not that it matters for me anyways.

    05 Civic LX Really Bad Mpg

    Whoops. I naturally think of 6th gens when troubleshooting. But my buddy replaced his fuel filter in his 04 EX so it has to be replaceable. :what:

    Fogs look good man! Get rid of that license plate frame though, or paint it flat black or something

    05 Civic LX Really Bad Mpg

    I'd recommend a tune-up. Fuel filter, check the spark plugs, plug wires, inspect dizzy cap & rotor, oil change if it's been awhile... Run some fuel injector cleaner through the system. How's the air filter look? Also, might want to look into testing a new primary o2 sensor, as bad sensor can...

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    I haven't looked into him much.. did he OD? All I know is that he passed on his tour bus, but the couple articles I read didn't mention how.
