Default B18c in EK, few problems

Hiya folks

Having a few problems with my EK, have just finished dropping in my B18c (SiR-G Teg, same as GSR) and i have the following problems that i have noticed..
  • On first few start ups i noticed moisture bubbles from between head and exhaust manifold
  • Erratic idling, cold start is steady at 2200rpm then when warm it goes up and down between 1000 and 2000rpm
  • When diving at night with lights on, when i come off the power the headlights get brighter

Anybody able to help me out with these probs?

I had that same issue with my ek with the lights dimming. I believe it ended up being a problem with the ELD. You may search there is a thread on here somewhere.

Make sure everything is grounded securely. & chek exhaust gasket & retorque after a few heat cycles.
