    Idle issue ek9

    Two things that I'd check as well - timing and alternator. Normally when you load up alternator by turning on lights or operating windows revs should go up slightly. I'm not sure if it's the ECU that controls this (must be?) Or what input it is using to make the adjustment but it could well be...

    Crank pulley STD EK9 - N1 EK9

    The N1 pulley is lighter, it's not dampened and will only run PS pump not AC pump

    Ek9 Restoration

    If you are paying for a full respray strip it right back, or at least to the point you’ll know there’s no rust or filler anywhere on the car. The most annoying thing that could happen to you is for rust to poke its head out in a few years time. The usual spot is around rear arches where far too...

    Got the rear bumper off...

    It's always cheaper and better to find a clean shell, the problem is finding one. I gave up looking, sold the Civic and bought a TVR for that very reason, worst case scenario I can buy a whole brand new chassis and the rest simply will not rust.

    E10 petrol

    Hi octane fuel stays E5 so it really makes no difference to EK9 owners as you shouldn't be putting 95RON in it anyway.

    My new car and it ain't a Honda...

    What about an S2000? The best of both worlds! I'd have taken that over the TVR in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the rust issues we have here. At least with the TVR I can the body off and make the chassis brand new again, once a Honda starts to rust it's a never ending story.

    Any og's still on here?

    I have just sold my EK9 after owning one for more than 10 years. It was really sad to see it go and even as recently as last year I couldn’t imagine ever selling it, but I came to realize I will have very little time for track days in the future and it would be a shame to just let it sit. It...

    B18C - Sir v Type R crankshaft

    It will fit into B16B, question is why? B16B is the most agressive camshaft Honda used across the whole B series lineup.

    Prices of ek9s

    It says in the ad it was “professionally fitted”, if I wanted is as an investment it would put me right off.

    Prices of ek9s

    Well if you look at what they are selling for in Japan then that’s not an unrealistic price. Sure I doubt he’ll get £22k but he’s probably not expecting that either, it’s just a price that’s advertised to stop people offering him five grand because they bought one for that 10 years ago. The...

    B16B timing map

    I have never seen a map freely available for the B16B. There seem to be maps available for B16As but not the B, I guess it’s because it’s just a rarer engine. So your only option is to really get it on a rolling road and get it mapped.

    Power steering for rallying

    Hardrace is not at all a bad choice, except perhaps the rear trailing arm bushes. Honda designed rear suspension in such a way it toes in under braking which stabilises the rear end. On a road car and track car I’d always go with OEM bush but on a rally car you might prefer the back end a bit...

    Wheel size help needed :)

    Well the offset will dictate what will fit and what will not, if you don't want camber I'd stick with 7j and around ET40 offset , they will also look better with standard size tyres. I run 20/50/15 at the front on the road on ET30 7J rim and I do need a bit of camber (or I could have rolled the...

    Wheel size help needed :)

    What offset is the wheel? Can you adjust camber? What size tyres are you planning on running?

    Power steering for rallying

    Regarding ratios EK4 and EK9 rack is quicker, still not mega quick though. I’m sure there was an aftermarket rack available, after all these are very popular cars for rallying. I think Quaife made them.

    Nissin brake boosters and prop valves

    Sorry for the late reply. I can't see part number stamped anywhere on my master cylinder or booster. There is "7 L R" stamped on the side of the master cylinder but what it means I have no idea. I have checked part numbers for master cylinders on jp-carparts and it seems you were right and I was...
