Help with low gas mileage

Nology hotwires. check ebay for em

[94SolGrl]

and just be sure to double and triple check the instructions on honda-tech for doing the foaming.. follow them to the letter. There's always a risk associated with putting anything but gas through your motor. If you do it wrong, you can cause a LOT of trouble. I printed out the how-to and had it with me for the whole process, and I can tell you, when the smoke first starts, it really is quite terrifying. Looks like a blown motor, smells like a blown motor, sputters, coughs, ticks a little bit.. it's a violent little process. So please be careful!

i will be careful but if something does go wrong i will be in need of good deal on a swap ha ha! i found the plug wires those shyts are dope a must buy. which plugs should go with them? went to pepboys and found no ngk iridiums to go with my motor. do they make em? do i need em?

[94SolGrl]

I've had pretty good experiences running Bosch platinum tipped plugs on mine. check around ebay for iridium plugs/good deals on normally expensive plugs...

lol I love ebay.

If you end up going with the Bosch Platnium's, don't wasit your money on the +2 or +4's, one pole on a plug is all you need, plus gapping them is pretty much impossible.

[Tyrone 95SolSi]

ok so platnium is fine good now with the extra money ill just go get an iridium chain or grill or something -bling- MSD cap and blaster coil good?

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

Haha iridium bling, I'll have to look into that one. And yes, the MSD cap + coil combo is good.

[Tyrone 95SolSi]

got the plugs(denso plats) got the foam about to go for it also got the how do -cross fingers- ill let you know how it goes

[Tyrone 95SolSi]

i did it. let me tell you when you see the smoke...i was a little scared for Iris. it didnt smoke for as long as i thought it would though. first i put one third in to the booster line idle was going crazy light smoke came up cut the engine put 1/3 into the crankcase last of it into the gas tank. it was harder to start. the smoke came up and i drove it hard for like 10 min but the smoke stopped fast. took it to get the oil changed, jiffy lube cleaned the fuel system for cheap(im like whats wrong with extra clean) before i did the seafoam i filled up on 91 and got 314 miles on 9.77 gallons thats better then the first post and driving the same way with a 114 mile trip in there(round trip). the header will be on before the tanks gone the shop wants 100 to put it on should i do it myself?? still got to put the plugs in. after this tank i was gonna go back to 87 to see the difference, should there be?

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

Glad it went well. I think you should do the header yourself. It's not hard at all. Most difficult part is getting the old O2 sensor out. If it's the original, 9 times out of 10 it will break off in the old manifold, in which case you'll need a new one (~$50 on Ebay.) Anyway, you should notice a difference in your mpg and overall engine performance.

[94SolGrl]

glad it went well Makes me happy. Paypal me the $100 and do your header yourself. ^_^ What? Moderation donation!

[Tyrone 95SolSi]

ha ha ill get to that i still got to buy the jack and stands so im still out of 100 bucks but i get the joy of doin it myself it just feels good you know

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

100$ for jackstands qualifies as getting raped, but either way, it's a good investment becuase you'll always have them to do anything else with.

[94SolGrl]

I've been using the same 2ton hydraulic jack and pair of jackstands that I got from wal mart for $32 on clearance for the last 6 years. They are SOLID. Check wally world.

[Tyrone 95SolSi]

well well i put the bar a bit high i see. went to walmart the had a set for 24$ but i dont like red so i got the mack for 34$ jack,stands,tire chocks, and 14" lug wrench. yea and its grey ha ha
