Sorry i havent updated any at all lately. Life has gotten crazy. I got an intake, it worked great. Had a couple little kinks but i straightened them up. It was for a z6 but a different intake, p08 i believe, added a bit more top end umph when vtec opened up.
Only ever ran it hard that one time and that little d series pulled like crazy after 4200 rpms clear up to 7k. drove it around for a month or so dailying it to work and back, she only burned a little oil from the day i got it back.
Well i was coming home from running an errand getting on the interstate in the accel lane, was just about to go into 4th when i noticed a monster trail of smoke behind me......So i eased up and slowed down and it went away. Dropped to third and **POOOOFFFF** the smoke was back. So i got her home, i have a crazy amount of crank case pressure and .. well.. she smokes like hell.
Doing a compression test today hopefully after work if i can find the gauge again (oops). Basically disguested at this car.
Mechanic isnt honoring the warranty since he didnt build it (which is a 1 year 12k mile) , the one he re-built for me blew up on his time. so he slapped a used one in and gave it back. (This is after a course of like....9months he had my car). That engine had a 30 day warranty from the guy he bought it from, thats great and all. I paid $700 dollars and 9 months of no civic. He barely paid 300 for it and did a shady ass job.....
I paid for a fresh rebuild, and got another steaming pile of poop honda product.
What are yall takes on this situation? Should i not get some sort of reimbursment
