Just after the rings in my rebuild started to seat really well a sensor went and it put the car in limp mode so I was driving in the winter last 2 months under 3000 rpm, engine has about 5000 miles on it now and i just put fresh platinum plugs in it cause I had my old one it it after the rebuild. Then i added a secret ultra lube that I know of with a fresh oil change.
The bad sensor was in the distributor and so I swapped that out and runs puuurffect now. So.... after all the miles I put on in limp mode the rings continued to seat. Pulls like crazy now and is unbelievably more fast than I ever expected it to be. Sounds real crazy mean in VTEC too! It started chirping the tires on slow take offs with out even trying now too. Almost would describe the power as brutal at some points on acceleration.
Big thanks again to K&S for a phenomenal honing job to seat the rings best.
Just got some minor tuning left and I can't wait to see the potential of this little 1600cc motor, I know I can squeeze way more out of it!!!!!
If I put a supercharger on it it would be completely insane.
I think I should add the rear disks pretty quick.
Want to get together with some of you B18a/b swaps to compare the difference and have a little fun. So many members told me to go B, but I think this little build is a serious challenge.
