^my friend had one in his si, we were doing 0-60 times in it a couple months ago. its awesome.

AFR didn't cause this. Unless the car just randomly decided to take a **** after the intake being on the car for more than 2 years under daily driving. With all the '06+ Civics out there running a Fujita (and i'm sure there have got to be alot), I'm probably the only one that is having this kind of problem.

I'll still look into it though. IF i can get this **** resolved first.

i-VTEC_DOHC

i never said it did rico.

I have every intention of getting FP......but obviously this situation kind of hinders that just a bit.

i-VTEC_DOHC

dude just change the head gasket yourself and save the hassle.


got em coach!!

hehe i kid rico

I'll wait for the BBB results. I don't want to give Honda another reason to try and shaft me.

Greg50Lt

Yea your best bet as of right now is to just sit and wait. You dont want to mess with anything until they say to.

i-VTEC_DOHC

if all fails, follow the diy on k20a.org

Greg50Lt

yea and while you have the head off might as well do cams and valvetrain and get that flashpro too lol. Make that beeA beeA nasty.

RICO_

Link?

i-VTEC_DOHC

you're on your own as far as searching.
that site has a lotta stuff about k series.

Well. Second Honda dealership confirmed the diagnosis. So I guess i'll try and get this thing fixed. But there's one more hurdle. The head itself. If it's warped then that creates a new problem. And with my luck so far.....it probably IS warped.

Joy! Or maybe the head is cracked. And maybe the piston rings are broken and my car is losing compression. And maybe the whole engine is f*cked. Maybe my whole car is turning into a heaping pile of dog ****. Maybe tomorrow morning a f**king meteorite will fall on the damn thing and save me the trouble.

RICO_

Couldn't find anything. Just a bunch of info on aftermarket head gaskets. It's alright though. Im not touching this car myself.

Greg50Lt

well I doubt the head is wraped. But if it is then I suggest you get a new one and do cams and **** to it. Also I would have a a compression test done and such.

RICO_

it's already draining me enough having to come out of pocket with this repair. Getting cams and flashpro is not an option right now. Maybe if I'm able to get reimbursed I'll be able to pick up a new RH and flashpro.....and that's a big "if".

builthatch

if the head is warped you can likely get it planed, no? how would it be different than any other honda?

it's not like a warped deck (block).

RICO_

Will that affect my compression ratio?

i-VTEC_DOHC

depending on how warped it is, it will raise your compression because you're bring the valves closer to the piston. also so you're lowering the volume of the cylinder, but you're still running the same amount of air/fuel. so you'll make power, but it wont be noticed.

OH THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMIN...................

Age requirement?

There's a maximum age requirement for a car, but no upper age limit to drive one? What gives?

RICO_

Well that's it. This is as far as I could go. F**k this ****. i've tried way to hard just to have it end like this. So that's how it works fellas. If Honda doesn't wanna warranty something..........guess what..........there's not a DAMN thing you can do about it. They could say mysterious alien electromagnetic forces fell from the sky and magically locked ur engine up and guess what. There's not a DAMN thing you can do to fight them. Corporate office just holds hands and sings Kumbaya with the dealerships and guess what.........there's not a DAMN thing you can do about it. So for those of you who might have a problem like this later on with your car. Bend over, take the big fat Honda ***** from Honda and shove it right up your own ***.........cause they're gonna f**k you regardless.

I'm fixing this car and then getting rid of it.

RICO_

Got me! Why did they even bother sending me the documents when I gave them all my car's initial information when I filed online.....BEFORE they sent me the packet.

Looks like Honda's got the BBB in their pocket. This is right about the time where I would organize a boycott against purchasing Honda products.......but that endeavor would be way to great and far to expensive and time-consuming......and of course it wouldn't work. Honda would probably just have me assassinated.

K5^

Sorry to hear.

It's a sad that everything is always about profits and nothing to do with customer satisfaction.

Hope you have better luck with a different manufacturer.

Don't be a stranger.

i-VTEC_DOHC

i dont get it. your car is only like 4 years old, and still covered under warranty.
whadafuxup?

Greg50Lt

i would have had to call them and ask them what the age limitations are! Cuz to me that sounds like a load of ****. But I would get have the head looked at when you take the head off which you can do yourself if you try hard enough and have a buddy help. Its scary at first but just take pictures for reference if you need to look back at something.

So get the head off have it looked at and if needed only IF get it planed like Built said and put it back on. I would take your DCRH off and try to sell it locally for like 100-80 bucks or something. I'll find you a link toa DIY for a headgasket replacement.
