The bottom of the boot that connects to no. 1 spark plug broke on me and now the spark plug cylinder area is filled with fuel and oil. Im guessing its not too big of a deal but i need to get a new wire kit, which one would be good for a turbo non-vtec low compression b18c5?

 

There is no such thing as a non vtec b18c5.. That being said, what are you talking about? The plug wire boot breaking would not allow fuel or oil in the plug area. I it has oil in it, your tube seals on the valve cover are bad. If it has fuel in there, you have HUGE problems.

 

I know that but it no longer has v-tec.. It was deleted when the turbo was installed. Yes the boot that goes on top of the spark plug, the very end of it broke off inside and now there is fuel in there. When you look down you can't see the plug just fuel..

 

Why would the vtec be deleted when a turbo was installed??

 

That's what I was wondering but that's what he told me and the car doesn't have it.

 

Post a pic of your engine

 

And how do you know it doesn't have it anymore? Did you actually test it or you just cant hear it?

 

Yeah I will when I get home, so any reccomendations on wires? Also, any other info on the unburnt fuel that's in the plug cylinder area? Hope it's not messed

 

Can't hear it and the guy that sold it to me said it was deleted

 

Idk how the spark plug boot ripping could cause fuel and oil to leak to there.

What ecu do you have any cels? Are you sure you have a vtec engine? Never heard of someone deleting it unless its a race motor w/ huge cams. Just cuz you can't hear it doesn't mean anything. Test it. What can you rev to?

 

Not sure on the ecu, it's just a silver one. Not a Hondata or anything, I'll have a better look. The car is still new to me, yeah I'm sure it's a b18c5. Hmm well I don't hear it and I don't notice a change in rpm when it should kick in like my other Hondas I've owned. I've always felt it kick in and also heard it clearly. The car revs to 8200.

My guess about the fuel in the spark plug cylinder was the wire gave out(which it did) and that plug was no longer working, then the car was running on 3 cylinders and all the I burnt fuel seeped up. Maybe the plug is a bit loose but I can't check it yet cause I can't get a socket on it because the debris from the broken boot is in there. I have to get it all out first. Hope I'm being clear, I'm trying lol

 

Lol silver ecu...check the code on the side and possibly open it up and take a pic of the inside and post it. Just to let you know, Hondata and all that mounts into the stock ecu so you can't tell just by swing a "silver ecu"

 

is this a troll thread lol?

 

Ok ill take a look at it but can anyone give me any info on what I was asking? What kind of cables would be good? And do you think maybe that's why their is fuel in there(what I said above). No this isn't a troll thread.. I'm serious and need a bit of help. Thanks

 

Well with a turbo how can you tell if vtec engages anyways. Hopefully its tuned on something. Whats the vin on the b18c5?

 

OEM,ngk....are you sure its fuel in there? And not just moisture

 

Yeah it's defiantly fuel, it's dark so it looks like there is oil in it too maybe. It has a really quiet exhaust so I'm sure I'd hear it. I'll get the vin and pics when I get home, I'll order oem I guess. Thanks

 

No as said you won't really hear it with turbo. You can't just say cuz you can't hear it its not working. The less you can hear vtec is actually supposed to be better from a performance stand point

 

Well maybe it has it then, wouldn't I notice it on my rpm gauge or even feel it? I did in my other cars but they wernt turboed. All I know is the guy that sold me it said it was deleted. I'll have pics soon

 

thread sure has a lot of fail....

 

LMAO, NGK wires (oem)

Please take your car to a good Tune shop and have them make sure everything is good. I wont be surprised if you blow the motor soon.

 

Not everyone is born with car smarts, you live you learn. Keep your stupid comments to yourself

 

Thats the plan. I just need this fixed then that's where it's going.. Ngk wires it is

 

you have a project that you don't really understand. how do you expect accurate advice. that's classic fail material

 

Oh so you know how to handle every problem you run into with your car? You never have to seek advice? Yeah maybe I don't understand it all but I'm still learning, why don't you try encouraging people along with some help since you sound like a know it all instead of saying smart *** stuff that doesn't do anyone any good.

Can a mod please delete this thread? I was looking for help but all I have is a bad taste in my mouth now because "I have a project I don't understand". I'll find help elsewhere. Thanks to those who actually helped...
