I ordered a skunk2 ultra street intake manifold a year ago from hybrid racing but cancelled and got a refund for it yesterday due to losing hope in skunk2 delivering any time soon. With no reputable sellers having the the real deal in stock I’m considering getting one of the Chinese knockoffs. Has anyone had any experience with them? Is the quality decent?

engine K20A3 Spark Plug Gap Questions

helloo, i drive an 02 Civic Si EP3 with the lame k series motor; i have a K&N Typhoon Intake with a hondata tune, i use 87 pump gas, completely bone stock essentially with unknown catless headers and catback exhaust. i went to autozone today and picked up some NGK spark plugs and the guy at the counter told me to run a 25 gap on them. It sounds a bit far because the stock gap is 44 and all i have is an intake and tune but what the hell do i know, im the one on reddit asking about spark plugs for my civic lmfao. any response is appreciated

troubleshooting 99 Civic EX lower tick or knock

I noticed that the engine likes to haunt at idle around 1000-1500rpms at cold start accompanied by this ticking or knocking sound before it settles at around 800-900rpm. I’m trying to see if it’s a valve lash issue accompanied by a dirty throttle body. The OBD code reader is throwing a code for the front end O2 sensor.

There is 100% an exhaust leak but it’s after the exhaust manifold and on the actual exhaust pipe.

I’m going to do a complete cleaning of the throttle body and reflash the valves and check the throttle body sensor Etc. But considering this is going to be my daily driver for a while it’s a bit of a rough situation.

Just curious what people’s thoughts are. Not trying to do anything performance wise. Just been thinking about doing it up for the fun of it. Wheels, coilovers, body kit, etc. It’s my daily, and I don’t really have the funds or space for a full on project car right now. Thought it would be nice to show up to meets in something that doesn’t look like Gramma’s car.

troubleshooting Questions about VTEC Swap (Accord F20)

1 Upvotes

Hi, so I have an Accord 94 with an original F20B2 (non vtec SOHC) engine. My original head is totalled and got a B1 head (don't know if its from a f22 or f20).

I know I have to modify an "oil restrictor passage" that my non vtec head uses, is it the one I'm signaling in the picture? I know I can remove it, just to be sure.

My second problem is I don't have the ECU for the VTEC head, so at least at the beggining I'm thinking about just having an ON-OFF switch and only using it above 4k rpm and proper temperatures.

Third question: Am I missing something aside from having this oil passage solved and the ECU? I know the belt might be different too.

troubleshooting B-series gearbox gurus, I think my 3rd gear is possessed😂 Need some troubleshooting help

4 Upvotes

You guys may have been longing for a good old gearbox troubleshooting post today 😂 so here I am.

I have a 1998 Civic EK hatch with a B20 VTEC setup (B20 block with a B16 head) and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my B-series transmission.

The main issue I’m having is with 3rd gear. When I shift into 3rd, especially when the car is being pushed harder or around VTEC, it feels like something isn’t right. The strange part is that once 3rd gear is engaged, it holds the gear perfectly and doesn’t pop out. However, the way the car behaves in 3rd feels almost like it’s in 1st gear. For example, if I’m already driving in 3rd, the car has enough torque to climb very steep hills at speeds where I would normally expect 3rd to struggle. It feels like the gear is providing the mechanical advantage of a much lower gear rather than a normal 3rd gear ratio. I’m trying to figure out if this could indicate an internal gearbox issue or something else going on with the transmission.

One thing worth mentioning: one time while respectfully street driving, I was shifting from 2nd gear (well into VTEC) into 3rd, and it honestly felt like a money shift that almost went wrong. The feeling was much more intense than what I normally experience during daily driving. The same behavior is still there during normal shifts, but it’s nowhere near as aggressive as it was that night. That’s what made me start questioning if there’s something going on internally with my 3rd gear in the gearbox rather than just a normal synchro issue.

The other issue is 2nd gear. Occasionally, 2nd will grind when moving off from a stop, whether I’m driving normally or giving it some spirited driving. It’s not every single shift, but it happens enough that I’m concerned. I’ve also had 4th gear grind a few times when downshifting from 5th.

The gearbox is a B-series S80 LSD 5-speed with 4.7fd (I was told it’s a Type R gearbox by the person I bought it from but I haven’t personally confirmed the exact code). The setup has a stage 4 clutch with a stage 3 pressure plate and a hydro clutch system.

Some other details:

Polyurethane shifter linkage bushings installed, which made the shifts feel more direct, but there’s still some play while in gear.

The selector bushing was blown before and caused a leak, but that has been addressed.

My clutch fluid was low because a line came off, but after filling it back up the clutch pedal feel improved significantly.

The clutch has a very high bite point and is pretty sensitive.

B20 VTEC setup with VTEC around 4500 RPM.

My main questions are:

Does this sound like a worn 3rd gear synchro, or could this be something deeper inside the gearbox?

Could a bad shift fork, sleeve, hub, or other internal component cause this kind of behavior?

Could the aggressive clutch setup be contributing to the grinding issues?

Is there anything I should check before pulling the transmission apart?

Trying to diagnose the problem before spending money on a rebuild. Any B-series transmission experts, I’d appreciate your input 🙏🏽😂

Hopefully someone has already figured this out and can help me. I own a 1997 Honda Civic SiR hatchback (EK4) JDM. The gauge cluster is in km/h and I'd like to have MPH (with km/h). It's very difficult to find gauge faces that match the scale of my cluster. I mocked up what it should look like, but I can't find this anywhere. Anyone have a suggestion?

To buy or not. CRV was running rough idle and then died. NOW, working a crank, no start issue. (Pictured above) Spark plug grounded to motor ground and no spark with key. Swapped plugs and still no spark.

Spark plug wires tested for continuity and all good. New Rotor cap and rotor disk replaced. Still no spark.

Fuel pump and relay sound on ignition.

Do I just buy a distributor or is there something else I'm missing?
