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...

I'm not sure which gauge it is exactly, but its this one:

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...

No its smaller than a 10mm, maybe an 8? There is no phillips head on it, just a slightly raised O with a line through it.

Does this help...? It's the nut that was on mine. It was a while back when I did it, but I can remember that there was no room to get a tool in, and then when I got it off I was thinking that there is physically no space to get a socket or something around the nut. I guess you need a...

I lost my temper with it!!!! The nut was facing the firewall and there was no room to get a socket or anything in. Its only (or was in my case) a jubilee clip. Don't help much though does it...

Thanks for the help Deadhead and Blazed! :) Yeah, I just adjusted the screw :roll: I think its actually more like 1000rpm, car seems so much more happier with a higher idle, it's a lot smoother and there are less rattles inside (I have solid engine mounts!) Pics would have been up...

Thanks for the help. I T'd off the one coming out the back of the im on the bottom right (when looking from front). That was going to the evap purge thingy. Thanks!

Just got back from work, Raised the idle from 750 to 1100 rpm and that has made it better. Revs stil drop before rising again, but they only drop to around 750ish and doesn't cut out any more. :)

96 OBD2a P2T (UK) in a 96 coupe (EJ6)

Sorry, a mod list would help wouldn't it? Mostly stock at the moment... 1996 B16A2 Motor (rebuilt 250 miles ago) Skunk2 valve springs (stage 2 cams going in next month) HKS intake filter 4-2-1 manifold, decat and 2.5" stainless cat back None of my other mods will have any effect on...

Hi all, Some of you may remember my engine swap from hell a while back. I had to take the car back to the place that did the swap, my brother in law convinced me to do so. They have a new mechanic now so I was willing to let him have a go to fix it. Good job I did because had I taken it...

I finaly got my car back after some lengthy engine repairs (caused by a pretend mechanic) and the garage that he worked for took the car back for the repairs and fully rebuilt the engine for me, inc lots of new internals parts :) While it was away I aquired a few new bits n bobs which I...

Come on guys... he's gonna charge me £190 for this and I don't belive its genuine.... I have a B16 pump for definate, how different is the pressure pipe from ps rack to pump between dx and si? Did anybody else have trouble with this??

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...

Should be turned over twice for a good reading. Should be between 160-200psi, depends on engine and its condition. Hope that helps, I have a howto archived somewhere if you want I can post up a link.

I'm thinking the same thing... i'd prefer the vortech with cooler, especially as they have a SQ (super quiet) compressor for stealth. If going the turbo route, for 250whp you should build the internals, but vortech claim 280whp on stock engine... Don't supercharged engines require building...

Thankyou! :thumbs up

lol, we call intakes (AEM V2, K&N etc..) induction kits in the UK. Hope that clears it up a little!
