    Hey, its been a while! (about a year actually!) Lots of new names on here, but still some old ones I remember... Some may recall about a year ago I was having a B16 swap into my EJ6 (Engine Swap From Hell), and it turns out that the mechanic was a t***** and didn't know s*** about cars...

    Anybody able to help with a possible faulty EGT gauge?

    My exhaust gas temperature gauge seems to have developed a malfunction, the needle does move but it constantly reads around 350 degrees when it has power, even if I only turn the electrics on after not driving it for a week! It never goes up or down while driving. In all the pages I have read on...

    D16 -> B16, ps pump questions

    Hi all When you do a b16a2 swap in a '96 dx, how do you rig up the power steering pump? Obviously you use a pump and bracket from a b16, but how do you connect the high pressure copper pipe? Reason I'm asking is that the shop that did the install used the pump from my d16, and he...

    Mugen valve cover baffles

    I'm trying to work out why my engine with all its mods has less power than standard. This guy I been talking to is trying to tell me its my valve cover...

    Lambda sensor

    My lambda sensor is knackered and I need a new one. Trying to get one off honda, but they can't give me any parts without the car details (I have a B16 swap and there is no way I can trace it to the original car). They can't look up anything with the engine number. Its a 1996+ B16A2 running...

    Enjo poly engine mounts

    Just took my car out for a drive after the swap, and the engine mounts are causing SO much vibration through the car. It's definatly the mounts causing it, mostly on idle and pulling away. Will they wear in or do I have to save up for false teeth?

    High pressure radiator cap

    I have a Mugen (genuine) 1.3bar radiator cap lying around and was thinking about fitting it. Would there be any problems with fitting it to a standard radiator? will it blow up or anything? I have silicone coolant hoses if that makes any difference. Thanks
