    1997 Civic HX Coupe - LS-VTEC Turbo - 420 WHP - Built Motor - South Florida

    That car would probably sell pretty quick up here to be honest. No rust is a BIG selling point for these cars up this way. GLWS!

    Clutch or transmission issue?

    Is it notchy when shifting into 5th? Could be the 5th gear synchros are wearing out. That, unfortunately, would require rebuilding the transmission. I had a 2nd gear grind with my RSX, but I did a full transmission flush and replaced with some Amsoil MTF.. grind is nearly gone. You might want...

    It'd probably be easier for me to just drive south and meetup somewhere that intersects the route you guys took down there last week. We'll play it by ear when the time comes :lol:

    Yeah I'd def be interested. I'm a little far from you guys but I think I could make it work. I'm about 300 miles from Allentown.

    Upgrading wheels.

    It depends on the size of the tire as well. 15s on some beefy tires could fit just as well as 16's on low profile tires. With my 6th gen, I had 17s, which was fine with no drop. I was able to go slammed on 16s and had no issues other than a little tire rub on the inner fender. I raised the car...

    By taking the cap off you're could also be introducing air into the system, further causing you issues. I would recommend bleeding coolant to be sure there's no air in the lines. Then go for a drive and see if you can replicate the issue. I forgot to mention also, do it while the car is on an...

    Honestly this information should have been known before you purchased it. Without taking the head off you won't really be able to tell just by looking at it. Same with the head studs, but if you take them out you should replace them anyways (unless they're ARP, then you can get away with reusing...

    B18c type r vtec

    Honestly I can't say for sure as I've never personally had a tune on a non-forced induction motor. I would assume you'd get some gain, but it might cost you quite a bit. I had a full dyno tune with my boost setup, but it was a little over $500 including Neptune license. Not sure how much it...

    It might have been done, but if the head is still lifting off the block it's still going to cause you some issues. It sounds like you have a solid setup though!

    1997 Civic HX Coupe - LS-VTEC Turbo - 420 WHP - Built Motor - South Florida

    I honestly just think he meant RSX instead of Integra. Judging by another site in which he posted the FS thread, he refers to it as an RSX wheel later on in his details. Same in his eBay link. @BlackEK4coupe , please edit your post to include pictures *with your username* as per the...

    B18c type r vtec

    You would need to get an ODBI ECU, which means inspection may not be easy. Not sure what you guys have for emissions testing there, but here in NYS you can't pass an ODBII car that has an ODBI ECU. ODBI ECU you just need to find a tuner in your area. In addition to just changing Vtec crossover...

    Looks like you guys had a blast! I'm going to meet up with you next year if you go, since you're only a few hours away if we converge somewhere in PA haha

    What size turbo? 10.0 constantly is SUPER rich. Either your sensor is effed or you're actually just dumping fuel. Do you smell gas at all? Any smoke coming from the exhaust? It should read around 14.7 at idle. My guess is that the fan is wired up to a constant power source, but at least we know...

    :welcome: We need way more information. The question you just asked is equivalent to "My car is making a noise, please help". Try helping someone based solely off that information... not really feasible. Model? Trim? Motor? What's your turbo setup? How much boost are you running? What's your...

    Evap monitor comes up as N/A

    Haha, no problem at all. I believe that as long as you don't have a CEL for evap you can still pass emissions, though rules also vary by location. You might want to verify just in case. :thumbs up

    2001 O2 Sensor

    It might be a better option / cheaper to keep the ECU and get a different o2 sensor. I'm also not 100% sure this is the case, so you might want to do some extra research before throwing more $ down, just in case.

    2001 O2 Sensor

    There are two types of o2 sensors.. normal (narrowband) and wideband. I did not know that 04 used a wideband sensor. Since it does, my guess is that you have a wideband sensor in there but the 01 ECU is looking for a narrowband sensor, causing your issues. Narrowband: Tells ECU "Your air/fuel...
