Well after 3 weeks of looking I finally got my 99' B18c1 w/ IHE installed in my 96 ex coupe. It took about 14 hours with 2 people. OMG I love it. I also installed a short shifter so I gotta get used to that but I can't beleive the power behind the B18C1. I need to get some octane boost since before the swap my engine died with a full tank of regular gas in it, and the knock sensor keeps trowing a code but that will be taken care of on tuesday, when I'm getting my VAFC installed and tuned and I'm gonna swap out the sensor just incase it isn't just the fuel.

Can't beat chirpin' 2nd...

 

Congrats but, come on man.....I know you can chirp 3rd.

 

Yea probably but I didn't want to push it the first day, especially since the knock sensor kept trowing a code. But I definatly can feel the potential.

 

congrats

 

You can def "chirp" 3rd... Hell.. i can prolly chirp 4th.. i'll have to try it getting on the high way sometime soon!

You can retard your timing until you get some good gas in there and that should bring the knock sensor under control... Use Premium its your friend..

 

just wondering... what year ecu are you running? and what code number are you getting for the knock sensor. thanks

 

congrats IMO i wouldnt use octane booster , damages your spark plugs
but what about draining some of that gas old school ,(with a hose and pump it out of there ) and went you have taking out a good amount get some racing gas to even it out or retard your timing

 

i wish i coulda gotten a gsr swap instead of my ls, but i just didnt have the extra 1800

 

blufke...just add some nice crower 403 or 404 cams and you'll be up to or past gsr power

 

YEAH!! i can chirp 3rd with my crappy mini-me swap

 

oh, no cams for me. booooost. just bought my maxrev mani and tial wg.
