vtec in an H isn't overrated, i'd agree with you on a b-series and a single cam, but on the h22 i wouldn't say it, or a b20v/lsv...

could always go h23 vtec later on i guess... :-\

yeah if i was going for power i would get an H22 head.. but honesty for a daily driver id rather use that extra money saving up for a project car (actually thinking about picking up a Chevy truck(75 or older no smog ftw) since if i move up north id like to be able to get around easy and not get ran over LOL but if not that ill get another cb7 most likely a DX Sedan then turbo...

i have no problem with 70's c10's, my cousin has a 74 stepside 4x4 that's a pretty sweet little romper, it's painted flat black and has no interior.

it's just the fact of replacing a honda for one is retarded especially if you are into hondas... you can get both and drive one in the winter, that's what i would do.

huh im not selling this one.... lol i said before i get a honda project i may pick up a chevy truck meaning this car would still be here and there would be a truck too lol

[Civic Accord Honda]

eww she still is losing more and more power even without the cel on(yes cel is cleared)
its gone from being able to go up the hill at 75mph in 5th at about half throttle to having to be floored in 4th at 45mph O.o and when it went 75 the whole car was loaded with people... and this time the back seat and everything was gutted out and just had 2 people up front... so yeah im confused on what could cause dramatic power loss... wonder if the head gasket is leaking or something... ( i know it leaks oil out the sides) but she shows no signs of smoking or anything so im lost lol

hopefully it stays alive for a few more months X_X

[blazin3gen]

u have some luck with cars my friend lol

[Civic Accord Honda]

lol i do indeed ^

well i got a full tank of chevoron 91(normaly run shell 91 but shell dubble chraged me last week which over drew my bank and gave me a $35 fee :@ so they can get fuckt.. so ive been putting crappy mobile 87 in it the past couple times) and that seemed to give it back some power and no more loud as fuck pinging lol still not as good as before so im wondering if the fuel filter clogged up when it ran out of petrol a couple days ago...


on another note. my right headlight burned out so i just orderd theses today

Yeah my vote is swap out the fuel filter(s) and check your cat. If you have a clogged cat, it'll do just that. Exhaust gasses get trapped and cause stupid power losses and eventually the car just won't run.

[stat1K]

you know there's no reason for you to be running premium in the car right???

it's not going to give you anything extra and the car was never meant to run it???

[labeledsk8r]

woot you went with the luminics, if there anytihng like the 7K luminics in the EJ then they should rock, need to order a set aswell with some new caseings

i have a test pipe (need to find and install) so were see about that.. also yeah i plan on putting in a new fuel filter soon

actully my car runs like shit on 87... and with the advanced timing with 87 it sounds like its going to die (soooo much pinging and pre detnetion (SP) )

woot you went with the luminics, if there anytihng like the 7K luminics in the EJ then they should rock, need to order a set aswell with some new caseings

indeed i did i also did what you said and looked for ones that just said 55w on the box instead of the 55-130

Another vss bites the dust! .... sad too as it was getting the best mpg its ever gotten then that went out cel came on and bye bye gas lol

and yeah shes overheating every time it idles unless the fans are on... funny thing is its winter... in summer when it was 110 i didnt even have fans hooked up and it never went of half.... also smells like coolant at times... oil level changes every day ( as in one day its low next day its runny and higher without adding any..) and my coolant is some what brownish...
can anybody gusse what gasket an hero'd?

i've told him that a hundred times, I thinks he thinks it gives him mad JDM TYTE POWER!! , I can see running 89 in the summer because the gas is shit now, and 87 is not the same as it was 25 years ago, but not 91

Drain your oil and I'm guessing you'll see milk. You're mixing coolant/oil now. That h/g is probably toast. Get that thing replaced before you warp the head and shit up your rad to the point of no return.

x2... and if the car is pinging with 87 something else is wrong with it...

i've seen too many stories like this with the f-series to ever trust one lol...

at least the head gasket is still pretty easy to do. get it done!

oh and cah maybe you should move to the east coast, i have 93 octane here

and i do run 93, but my car is 10.2:1 compression or some shit like that, it's still not necessary but i do it because i can't get 91, i only have the option of 89 or 93 lol...

Cam2 FTMFW!

That's really odd you don't have 91. There's a gas station not far from my house that has more buttons than I know what do do with. 87, 89, 91, 93 and it use to have 94 and 103 too, but no mo.

[stat1K]

yeah we only have 87, 89, 93... weird i thought too... i found one station with 91 in gastonia, that's it... everywhere else i've been too in NC has been 93 only...

liike i said it pings on 87

was going to buy one today... $150 for the kit... or $50 for just the gasket... i know it was only $25 for just the gasket on my civic so it sorta pissed me off ... the oil its self is more runny then normal but its not mily or anything (not like the other gaskets ive blown) so im going to try re tourqeing the head an hope for the best.. i dont wanna put $150 in an engine that has bad bearings and leaky rear main lol

yeah it did run fine on 87... then i advancied the timing which made a rather large incress in top end power but made it ping on 87 and 89 lol so 91 shuts it up lol
and yeah head gasket is easy as hell ive done it about 4 times on other cars ... but dont want to put $150 in to a dieing engine lol...

Utah has E85 85 87 93 .. O.o
