Hello and welcome, all the best for the new year, and I wonder what it holds for each of us. Hopefully, this Virus thing will be gone and we can get on with our lives.

Hi mate glad you're still around. The old gang are still around, but it's a quiet time of year for forums at the moment. Wow you had a sensible car! And got married, wow things have changed for you. What are your thoughts on the Tesla? which one is it?

The K20 is a brilliant engine and one of the most well known Honda engines out there. So it makes sense to have a dedicated forum thread to this engine so we can discuss the common problems and issues. On the K20, there are a few locations that are vulnerable or problemmatic and can need...

On the D16, there are certain weak spots and problematic areas. I'll be posting up some engine issue posts, and hopefully, others can add to them and we can discuss these problems together. The D16 engines are generally dependable and solid units, as long as you adhere to the manufacturer's...

The newer 1.5 is quite a nice engine, but you should also swap the gearbox. The K3-VET is a good swap if you want more power, that turbo makes all the difference.

4x4 is a good option, but also RWD. Something like a big block Mustang, although if you are cool enough to own a Mustang, would you also own a caravan? BMW and Audi estates also work quite well, they have power and weight to them and 4 wheel drive is also an option on those.

Restrictive air filter perhaps? My guess would be the wastegate is blowing open fully and sending out the boost there. Even if it has a 3psi rated spring it may be failing or not enough when you hit full boost and it pops open and stays open.

Very neat, whats the next phase then?

Yes you shouldn't have a problem with clamps or clips. Rough up the inside edge slightly near the tip edge for better grip.

Always impressed with your work. Do you build these to order, or just make them and sell then when finished, or keep them as yours?

I do the tyre checks regularly. Will be doing a full service in the next week. I usually leave it too late and end up working on the car in the cold and wet!

Having read up on this further after your post, I am certainly worried. Surely they can't just switch the fuel at the pump without warning people it can cause major issues to their car! Is this just a way to get older cars off the roads? Dissolve their lines and seals so they break down?

I hear about these all the time there is usually one in the paper each week, always a new scam but the same basic idea.

Check the basics first, earth problems are usually the cause of lots of mystery error codes. IT sounds like it's in limp home mode is it running rich or lean? Is your air flow sensor and lambda sensor working?

I thought this was a dealer only topup on those! Done at service time apparently.

That will be interesting to know @TCJBOLDIE

Colder air does carry more oxygen, but induction kits are a waste of time, unless as you say you fit a cold air feed to them. On a turbo engine, the turbo will raise the intake temp considerably so an intercooler helps bring the air charge temp down a little so this makes the overall intake...

I didn't know the 1970s Toyota 2000GT was so valuable, it is a lovely looking car so I'm not surprised.

Thankfully we don't have much of a rodent problem over here in the Uk but I can see how that is a real pain, there are plenty of areas to hide and nest inside the engine bay.

Both chains and belts can stretch but belts do this more. The chains tend to last longer and are more reliable but they cost more to buy and fit and are a bit of pig to get the tension right. The rotation comes from the crank at the bottom of the engine so it's not practical to use cogs, and...

Japanese Domestic market, it refers to anything specified and sold in Japan. Japanese fuel is typically 100octane, much higher than we usually get in the UK so cars are optimised for this fuel. There are differences between countries. A true JDM car is usually imported rather than converted or...
