Clear dizzy, vision cam gear, clear timing belt cover, stage 3 crower racing cam, crower springs complete with 3 angle valve job. a home brew tranny cooler (Which works awesome!) Spoon tuned ecu, racing suspension front and rear with subframe connector secret ,weapon intake, and dual vtec solenoids (Which is awesome) among more!! Thanx teal.

quick question. Immediatly after revving high my idle sometimes reutrns to maybe 3-500 rpm, really low almost to sputtering out but not quite and not everytime, any ideas. also when i start it, it starts at about 2k but then returns to idle speed either by itself or after a slight tap on the gas. I believe these problems are related but other than these things, for now the car is running awesome. Maybe fast idle thermal valve ?? IACV?? ETC? The IACV has been cleaned, the FITV has not i plan on cleaning it but any other ideas would be great especially seeing that it might not be whats wrong with it.

- Sun Oct 24, 2010 12:32 am #219629 if you can get the parts for cheap, do the mini-me. I wouldnt though if you plan on boosting. Mini me raises compression ratio which can be crucial when boosting. I'd keep saving up and do the B16 sooner :thumb:
