13.7MPG, and still at it!

I usually get about 200 at half a tank but I don't idle for very long, sounds good to me.

Mind you thats in Kilometers, not miles, so its going to be quite a bit off cause of the idle. SO i guess next gas tank i will have to find out.

oh...shit...200 kilometers is like 124 miles...172 kilometers is about 106-107 that's not good

you should be around 305-321 kilometers (190-200miles) at half...eh if your car ran like mine (I'm all stock minus no intake resonator)

Well with what im about to do, all this is gonna cost a bit, im getting the pipe from work on friday to install my 2.25 catback, making it all myself too. 2 15 inch resonators, 10 feet of 2.25 inch piping, and a welder. This weekend will be good It wont be SS, but it will be cheap to do, im getting both resonators for like 20 bucks, and the pipe for maybe 30, so 50+ tx and i get to do it myself, a learning experience, woot!

(By the way, @ the cat converter, does it come out as 2.25 inch, or is it smaller? Im going to the junkyard to get the flanges im going to need for all this, and then im going to custom make the rest of the flanges...

So im at it again. My fuel milage went back to shit.

I went to the junker today, and picked up a bunch of stuff, 4 injectors (unknown coindition) ALL The intake manifold valves/sensors, Fuel rail, and like 7 fuel regulators. Just to find out that my regulator is "fine" I put a test line on it, and it was dishin out fuel pretty good when i just turned on the fuel pump. Im at a loss again, i dont know what to look for. Ask me what you need, and i'll get it. (Right now, i went back to stock OEM exhaust, the aftermarket shit was getting annoying, so i decided it was time to go back to stock... Although i have a 4-2-1 header (ebay cheap shit))

Somone on a local forum said the 90=91's suck for gas milage because of the internal coil on the dizzy, is this correct? If so, im plannning on buying a 92-93 asap...
Thanks.

Today, i got around to my compression test. Here it is as follows.

COMPRESSION CYL _______1_________2________3__________4

NORMAL_______________ 195 ______ N/A _____193 _______195

WITH OIL _____________ N/A _______215 _____ N/A ______ N/A

Reason with the oil, i found out my VC Gasket is leaking AGAIn, ive replaced the damn thing 4 times now, ive had it witht he damn gasket. I had about 1/2 filled tube of oil.

Tomorrow im doing a valve lash ajustment with lower seals, upper seals, and cover seal, Using RTV as well as gaskets.

As for the Compression, is this about normal?

Thanks guys.

the compression test results should all be w/in like 2-3% of each other if I'm not mistaken. And yeah having oil in your spark plug chamber isn't good at all. You should only have to replace the lower tube seals (o-rings) once and they'll be good for at least 40-50K miles. Buy Honda of course. So that means you were running on 3 cylinders since cyl 2 isn't displaying any compression? or what does N/A mean

[js593]

N/A because i didnt test it at normal. I had to test it with oil, because there was some already in the chamber, so i couldnt get a dry test. Will the FELPRO ones work fine?

yeah but for a part that costs 3 bucks new at Honda, they're far superior in quality...the rubber is made better and trust me man, you don't want to go back in there replacing those seals just to save like 5 bucks. Total at honda for 4 o rings is 12 bucks.

If thats filled w/ oil, then that means its really screwing up your distributor too, since it can't transmit the spark completely to the sparkplug.

I'm having the same prob with the gas. I get 180 k To a full tank highway. I smell gas coming from the rear of the car. I dont see any leaks thought on the car

Ouch, sound like no fun at all.
