Btw, anyone know what engine codes mean? (D15B7 for example)

 

D is the series, 15 is how big the engine is (1.5L), and B7 is the model of engine. Works basically like a car, 92 Honda civic- 92 (how big the engine is), Honda (series), Civic (Model of engine). If that made any sense... I kinda confused myself.

If i have time tomorrow I'll post a flix..Just remember mine will probably sound different since I have an AEM SRI and DC Sports header on it.

 

yo, i got the hi-flo cat installed today, it sound much stronger than before, i guess air flows better. One last mission: header, but in NYC i do not have a garage to install myself, they charge me $80-100 at the shop w/o any work guarantee said

 

If you can handle the wrenches well enough and your car isn't rusted (like my poor car was) you can do it on the side of the road or in a driveway. I live in Canada (newfoundland to be precise) and i just took apart my throttle body and IACV, changed my PCV valve and checked all my vacuum hoses for leaks. all in the comfort of my exposed driveway in the middle of an east coast winter. What a way to spend a friday night though, i'd rather be wrenchin that drinkin.

If your car has seized up manifold bolts, don't get impatient and force them off like i did. 3 nuts were so rusty they stripped as soon as i put pressure on them and 2 of them pulled the studs out with them. Seeing as how i only have simple hand tools (bad mechanic) this job sucked. If they are seized, spray your favorite brand of penetrating oil on them (i recommend PB Blaster!) and giveit a few minutes to soak in. than try it again. sometimes it takes a lot of PB blaster to get these puppies off. But overall it's an easy job.

 

here's the clip after the cat was installed
