B16B has 81.5 while B16A is 81...

auto ah? i dont see anything wrong with increasing compression...but would probably need a retune... if u worry then mebbe get B16A manual pistons with B16A manual cams would be a good improvement... had a friend who used to have a stock auto b16a but with manual b16a cams and he was very happy... in fact, he was the fastest b16a auto in the club... hahahahha

putting 81mm pistons into an 81.5mm bore will mean the need for slightly bigger piston rings.. which will increase the chances of the engine eating up engine oil and not giving a good seal for the combustion chamber

displacement wise...

B16A with 81mm is 1595cc
B16A with 81.5mm is 1615cc

lol...just ask her to take a picture of the numbers on the firewall and send to u la

very easy... just look at the first 3 charracters of the number... if it starts with "EK9-xxxxxx"

then its an EK9 lor...

heres an example for DC2

best to remove the head and put the pistons at the bottom most so u can see the condition of the piston walls aka sleeves aka liner.

then from there... decide wats next.

leaking from where? u need to identify the source of the leak first. for all u know its just the solenoid (which is normal)

n whos ur mechanic?

oooo P44... i guess theyre ok la.. if u trust them then just listen to them... though id recommend going to a good car wash first.. get an engine wash and then monitor the leaks from there.

found a buyer? congrats!

pm sadako chan... he sends his car there

if not mistaken theres 1 more fn2 owner in this thread... but not active.. ur gonna hvae to search for his post here though..coz i forgot who...heheheh

personally... after the EK... practically all hondas available in our market are pretty much crap..sadly.

except for the Type Rs of course.. n the CRZ seems to be pretty decent too...though im a lil disappointed at torsion beam...the same disappointment also applies to the FN2

BTW....

anyone knows of stories/reputation/quality/workmanship of Evotec Autoparts?

anyone had any dealings with them?

thanks...might consider them for the future..or actually mebbe soon hahaha

shah alam...can try search for them in mudah

SUPPPP

ive a few friends using them and love them

i myself have been considering selling off my tein and replacing it with them.


cheap, bang for buck, brand new with 1 year warranty and able to select spring rates.

just do it

adjustables doesnt always means its for track la...

im sure there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands in malaysia that are using adjustables... but only a handful will ever see track time.

if handling is priority... adjustables.. the spring rate that comes with GAB SS in the box is good enough to give comfort and handling... after that u just adjust stiffness of the abs only to ur liking

the GAB SS for ur EK right? my mech in sri muda quoted me 1.9k .... but 2.2-2.4k is the basic price alot of places are offering

BOTH hilo and soft hard will affect handling... height affects centre of gravity and soft hard will affect the body roll and how well it sticks to the road

height settings will depend on how high/low u want it

spoon plug cable

or NGK R09


i wanna sell my spoon... ada mau?

yeah just leave the stock cables... if theyre in good condition...no need to change

heres a plug cable comparison...done locally using dyno testing

test done locally...in nilai if not mistaken..forgot where already

i still havent run out of things to mod yet.... coz my money run out first
