ok i got alotta work to do first off i got a 93 ls integra b18 blah blah ya know i need sum help i have a short ram intake a exhaust leak no muffler skunk 2 cam gears i need help !!!! ok

1st problem my car idles super rough and the stock tach twitches like a crack *****

2nd problem my cam seems likc it wants to bog down at random times my compression is 95 in the 1st 2 cylenders then 92 in the 3rd and 95 in the 4th ????

3rd problem im looking for used mods any 1 wanna sell thanx

 

1st problem: Check the wiring to the tach. There may be a loose connection from the ECU to the gauge somewhere. What does a super rough idle look like? Does it do it when hot/cold/both?

2nd problem: You either have completely blown piston rings or you cannot correctly perform a compression test. Your numbers should be around 170 psi. Check the ignition timing and do a full tuneup if not done already.

3rd problem: Check ebay.

 

my buddy did the compression check do u mean 170 total ???? or in each and by a rough idel i mean the hood vibrates all the time when im not going

 

check wires going onto your ignitor.

 

yes 170 on each, also ck you motor mounts that will make it do that. Make sure all the mounts are good.

 

1. Fix the exhaust leak, depending on where it could effect the O2 sensor and could have an effect on the idle.

2. When was the last time you changed plugs, wires, cap rotor??

3. you compression numbers are bad, reallly bad. I would suggest re-doing the test, do a search here on HT and make sure you are doing the test correct.

4. If you are doing the test right, then your engine is screwed. Time for a re-build, once it is re-built, tuned and broken in correct I bet the idle issue will go away.

 

well i called the local tuner and they said that min compression should be 135 for 93 b18 ls i told him mine and he was like holy sh** and he was like at 95 that thing is gonna blow soon its gonna cost 800$ labor alone for a rebuild i think i might just do a swap ..... god i hate life right now im only 18 with a low pay job and still in school and i need help hahaha not lookin good ....but i love my tegra alot so i think im gonna do what i can looks like the turbo is gonna have to sit in the closet for a few years

 

Well, do the compression ck again to make sure you did it right. Is there smoke coming from your muff? And your tuner is wrong. 135 is not right, It should be up to like 170 plus. You may still be ok. Like I said look at the motor mount to see if they are broke. That will make you motor jump. If the rings are that bad the you should be smoking like a Los Vegas hooker.

 

ya it smokes but i got a f-ed up exhaust and a few leaks i think i might just do a b20 swap 1500$ isnt to bad is it ??? i mean 135 min like he said he didnt know how it was running ok if its at 95 i just want my car fixed i payed 1000$ for it so i guess im getting wut i asked for god i wish she would just work

 

well your exhaust will not smoke just because you have a leak. If the rings are bad the that will make it smoke. I would not do the b20 unless you have the $ to make it run strong. for 1500 you can almost rebuild your hole b18

 

well i mean b20 stock has 200hp im running 160 or so so i mean i just wanna break 300hp total its a daily driver 2 hey will the b18 tranny hold up a b20?

 

drop out of school, quit your job and start slangin'...... then youll have money fix up your car!!!

id hate to burst your bubble but i hope you dont really think that your getting 160 to the wheels... id say your more arond 116-120 at the most.

but seriously, if you say you dont have the money then i would just go out and buy another b18a/b. you can find them for a pretty cheap price. it will probably be a lot cheaper than paying to rebuild it...
just my .02

 

Your car is pretty consistent when you do the compression check and it is very low. Check your timing belt. If the cams or crank is off by even 1 tooth it will run like ****. Since the compression is consistent the cams and the crank might be off. The intake and exhaust cam might not be opening at the right time.

 

nice pic is that u ????
