  1. Motor replaced 1700 miles ago, already has issues.

    I don’t recall saying I was “ stock “ I said I was running stock boost levels. A 10th gen si’s L15b7 runs at 20.3 psi. Regardless…. A brand new motor, should not have an issue after a few pulls, that aren’t even to redline. Car has never even been launched. I’m starting to think it’s the coil...
  2. Motor replaced 1700 miles ago, already has issues.

    Welp, what I did notice was that Honda never put my under side cover back on…… which is annoying. As for hoses, I did a skim before a bee kept harassing me, and I don’t notice any loose looking hoses, so I took pics, if anyone noticed anything out of the ordinary please point it out
  3. Motor replaced 1700 miles ago, already has issues.

    Ahhh okay, I’ll have to check that tomorrow, when I first looked I didn’t see anything too out of the ordinary, but maybe I need to take a closer look. I hope that’s all it is for an issue, shit I’d rather it be me needing to replace the turbo. That’s cheaper than doing another head gasket, and...
  4. Motor replaced 1700 miles ago, already has issues.

    Thing is guys, if it’s a loose hose clamp, would it still hold boost ? Cause it holds boost until harder acceleration.
  5. Motor replaced 1700 miles ago, already has issues.

    I just had my motor replaced by Honda, I was just under the warranty…. I had my long block supposedly replaced. It was replaced because I had a head gasket blow, and for months no one including Honda could figure out what it was. Anyways, I find it odd, that I got the car back and I did not beat...

  7. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

  8. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

  9. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

    Yeah I don’t have a choice, I have no choice but to drive it up the highway to my jobs yard. It’s about a 7 min drive. Car drives fine just can’t rip it. Is it good to drive it like this ? No …. But I literally have no choice. Before I knew it was this issue, I couldn’t find a single mechanic...
  10. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

    Did you do the work yourself? I’ve never taken off the head on the L15B7 … only a k20z3, so I’m actually looking for a good idk video of it, or some instructions, so I can make sure I do it correctly, I have to buy a torque wrench for the studs. But what’s what ever, I’d anyone else here knows...
  11. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

    Yeah, I some how didn’t know about this headstud issue. I thought the clutch, was the main weak point at that boost pressure. Lol oops….. but what’s weird about it, was I didn’t really beat on my car. But maybe it was that one time I was racing a 335 on the highway and took it up to almost 150...
  12. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

    Yeah I’m trying to avoid a warped head, or other very expensive to fix/machine shop type damage lol. It sucks, I wish I could just park the car, and have a bunch of parts and just add it all the same weekend, then go get it tuned. But I don’t have a 2nd car at the moment , and idk about you. But...
  13. HEADGASKET? NEED ARP HEAD STUDS ?

    Ok, so a while ago I made a thread about having misfires…. Well those are “ fixed “ here is my issue…. Lol brace yourself. a few months ago I was in school and struggling to make ends meet. I’m good now but back in that time I couldn’t even afford to do maintenance. Anyways long story short...
  14. Misfire cylinder 1 & 4 fuel injectors just changed

    I forgot to delete this one, no point now. I came across the one you have above after I made this one. Don’t come on here often so I don’t know the site as well.
  15. Misfire cylinder 1 & 4 fuel injectors just changed

    Hmmm. Good point. I don’t beat on the car though. I hardly ever rip the car. I don’t hit redline I’ve used launch control once in 2 years. So idk that’s weird. I won’t even rip the car under 3500 rpm’s. I baby the shit out of it. But I’ll have to look into what you’re saying
  16. *HELP* with cylinder 1 misfire

    So had all injectors replaced. Have a new coil pack on cylinder 4 lol and car is still misfiring like a champion idk what to think anymore. Head gasket ??
  17. Misfire cylinder 1 & 4 fuel injectors just changed

    I’m on the phearable tune. 25 ~ psi. Race MAF cobra cold air intake. Car has new spark plugs, the other day I had to top it off with coolant cause it was over heating. It drives like trash. I dont beat on the car. I get 35mpg if that puts it in to perspective. Barely drive the thing too...
  18. *HELP* with cylinder 1 misfire

    Yup. But I reflashed back to my phearable tune. And it runs fine. But sometimes when I give it gas I get that “ sputter “ or hitting if an imaginary redline. It’s weird. I’m wondering if the ECU has to get used to not having the messed up injector ?
