    I've got an 06 civic si with stock k20z3. I've recently replaced vtec gaskets and vtc strainer, timing chain, guides and tensioner. But since before doing these I've lost all advancements on my cams. During logs it's a steady 0 degrees. I'm not certain but this doesn't seem like a sensor issue...

    Any winnipeg si owners out there still on this forum? Anyone interested in meeting up? Recently got my 09 si and have seen lots of 8th gen sis around but it would be sick to have a little group of us cruising around together hitting vtec lol.

    Hi all, I'm looking forward to being a member of the community of fans one of my favourite cars.\ Bought the car (in black ES trim, tanned seats) for 1900 GBP (I'm in the UK, Cardiff) for 1900, bargain IMO. 112k miles with FSH. So far just had to put an engine heat shield back on. I am...

    So i recently got a 2009 civic si. 301,450 km. When doing pulls in any gear and trying to shift you get a lockout that will prevent you from shifting over 6k rpm. As soon as the revs drop below that it pops right in no problem. It’s super annoying cause it only does it when you drive it hard and...

    Hey there, hope I'm posting in the right place. I got a P1009 code a bit ago, and then it went away a week later after not driving it. I think it might have just been an oil clog or something, but my vtc is rattling on cold starts so I decided to clean the strainer and solenoid anyways. Strainer...

  10. DIY Honda Civic Engine
    I'm currently rebuilding my engine as of right now, and I'm installing the head. I came across that you can supposedly lock the Vtec mechanism in the rocker assembly with a longer pin or switching the pins around. Is there any downsides with having vtec on start up? Is this bad for the...

    I bought a 2009 Si with 127k a couple weeks ago. Bone stock. VTEC engaged normally for a couple weeks, and then one day it just completely stopped working. Oil level is fine (just changed my oil just in case), no CEL or pending codes. No loss of power or anything, just no VTEC crossover at 6k at...
