6 months, just changed all fluids and gas. car was in fine working order before, just wondering how harsh a dry start up can be and the most gentle way to prep her for cranking over.

Had a '99 SI down for some work and maintinence and i am wondering the best way to start it back up. I would like to get oil back into the cylinders and head as easily as possible as it has been sitting for a few months. Is just dropping some in the spark plug good or is there a way to turn the...

336k, that is a champ. Show that thing some love and enjoy it.

basically you'll need boost to come close to 300hp with a d or b engine or a race built NA k-series, With your budget the k is out and the b will have to stay NA unless you spend more money or find amazing deals, and with boost you'll need good tuning as well aka more dollars.

Get your ride height down an inch or so and then any rim will look good, as of now, looks off.

Just feed it good synthetic oil and treat it well, it will love you back.

The weak points are that it only revs up to 8250 rpms, most of the engine parts struggle after about 350 HP or over 10-12 lbs of boost, and vtec will not open up the engine until after 5500 rpms.

I ended up with a nice Kaaz limited slip with less than 1000 miles on it from a friend who had to restructure a build project to put money into some other things. It was properly broken in and functionally fine, just found out it fits the gsr tranny tho (and maybe itr too). I have a B16A2 with...

My Vtec is my Left Horn Button... WOAH. My mind is crumbling at the concept. Did it ever rev up enough to kick in your vtec and did it ever go up all the way to redline (over 7500 rpms or whatever) or has it always done this from day one? sounds like an ecu control issue, maybe limp mode...

the gsr tranny will sit lower in the rpm range, but you can still get upper 20's mpg if you are trying to, maybe break 30 on a long easy cruise. The engine will be fine cruising that high, that is why we all like honda's, just be very good to it, change your oil and filter by 3,000 especially if...

the b16b is awesome and with na bolt ons will make the same power as a 1.8L. The engine block and parts has a lot of little differences over a b16a and would be worth having down the road, collectability or resale imo. Just the intake manifold off it gives decent gains to a b16a and the rev...

act ultra light weight flywheel.

Thanks for the suggestions i finally got around to working on in and found that the main 80A battery fuse had popped. I had already replaced the 40A ignition fuse but was still hung up. The filament was touching and with a tap it would connect and work but with another bump it wouldn't work...

The compressed air may work. If you come to blows don't smack it with a small object (the head of a hammer) try to find a piece of wood or something else large enough and shaped to the contour of the hood but not so hard that it will leave an imprint. You can get it back close to normal but in...

If you flow to well you can still throw a code, I have a Jackson racing high flow cat with other exhaust goodies and it happened, there is the diy or blox makes a little bushing or something to help with it if you do have codes.

Yeah +1, especially if it is a stock motor.

Cool, i am charging the battery over the weekend and i hit the posts already with a brush. I'm going to go thru all the grounds next, I'll work on it next week when I can, I'm busy this weekend and get back with results thanks.

Nope, nothing interior or out, and it drive fine the last time out and had dim lights before I jumped it. A friend suggested pulling the ecu harness to reset things as a limp mode type of last resort. RonJ, I appreciate your constant efforts on here, is there a quality testing tool I can use or...

Tried it when it happened and still no response. I hooked the jumper cables up properly btw, and it seems more like something tripped over something got fried but I don't own any good testing equipment so I am asking before I have it looted at and towed somewhere. Thanks again for any help.
