hi i just bought a Weapon R intake kit but the coupler to connect to the throttle body is too small - anyone know if a larger coupler is available? Manifold throat measures closer to 2.7" (68mm OD) than the 2.5" adaptor supplied with the kit

i changed the spark plugs last week. There was oil sitting above the plug on cylinder 3 (i think it was cylinder 3).
any idea what might be wrong here? rocker cover gasket?

Under the rocker cover theres rubber seals, that sit under each spark plug probably thats worn, but if you take a rocker cover off, you prob shud change all the gaskets, u can get a gasket kit from bursons
$90 i think
thats if it above, when my rings were stuffed i was gettin oil above like take the lead off and theres oil all in there, you shud do a compression test to make sure.
I hope its gaskets for your sake. haha

guys have any of you with b16a's had any problems with flat spots in the rev range and misfiring, rough idle, idle at 100rpm and feels like its going to stall lol?

[slimx]

i beleive any car reving at 100rpm feels like its about to stall buddy? lol

[rage_against]

yeah lol. but i mean it feels like its going to stall before its revving at that. i totally just plain suck at lyFe lol

sounds like when my map sensor died..

[rage_against]

well thats what ive read and im not sure whether to just bite it and go to a mechanic or try and diy

[stevo716]

disconnect the map sensor see if makes a diff
like gets worse or stays the same
then just make sure not leaking any vacumn ull hear it, if u are

[rage_against]

soooo, say your talking to a retard right, where do you tell them to find the map sensor?

[stevo716]

umm u got a b16 yeh ummm, well on a stock da9 there sitting on the firewall, there 3 things 2 lil round cylinder things and one square one, the square one is the mapsensor
on a b18c i know it sits on top of the Throttle body, im not too sure on b16, but basicly the map sensor connects a vacumn line to the tb, so follow ur vacumn lines, one of them shud lead to the map sensor, which itll say on top
