Hey guys my friends civic type r has a hose with a weird metal piece as a plug in the end of it, I'm wondering what it is or where it's suppose to go to, I think it's t'd off to the oil. Let me know what you guys know please! Thanks! car is also running kind of slow, vtec works fine tho, new spark plugs and recent oil change. Running on type r Ecu as well. Any ideas of why too?

 

it's for power steering

Thank you guys! Any ideas of why its running slow? Another friends b18b1 integra pulls away from this car all the time in 3rd

 

Compression check is the first thing I would do.

 

I did notice a small leak on his head gasket I think, we will switch that out soon then see if it fixes it if not then compression test.. Just cuz idk how much a compression test goes for $$$

 

What would be a good head gasket brand for B18C type-r?
I look at golden eagle and inline pro any suggestions?

 

OEM

 

If its leaking oil from the coner of the block its probably not the headgasket. Look at all the oil seals on the side of the head vtec solenoid etc, they usually cause that. It should not be getting passed by an LS, i'd take a closer look at the swap wiring, it look sloppy.

 

It is leaking oil from the corner of the book... Il check the oil seals and also the wiring, yeah it was done a bit sloppy :/ but that's what I'm saying! Something had to be up il check the wiring like I said but honestly what am I looking for in specific? Loose cables and connections? -___- sorry

 

lets see

wiring hacked problem
unturned wrong ecu
no vtec because of some other problems
lack of maintenance
spark plugs cap and rotor
clogged exhaust
bad o2 sensor
clogged fuel filter clogged injectors
incorrect timing
and many more
