  • b20b in 97 civic, ls transmission, help

    hey guys I hope you guys can shed some knowledge and help.
    I have a 97 high compression b20b with a Ls transmission in my '97 civic ex coupe. I just got it running and drove it to mass because I'm currently going to college up there, so I need it to go to school, and work. last sunday I started it up and it didn't sound like It did, I went to the junkyard and it had none of the power it had, it wasn't misfiring, but on light throttle you can feel the car kind of bog or hesitate I would say? its pretty hard to explain. any insight to this? things that could help: running a jumper harness to a obd1
    p75 computer(heard they run the b20's with no problem) stock ls intake, stock everything, I was on a tight budget on this one wish I had more to make this better but you deal with what you have. I also need to pass emissions for Connecticut so I believe I need to get a obd2a p75 computer. Its stressing me out alittle bit so any insight will help, Thanks guys

        I had the same set up and when it got revved passed 6500 the valves would come loose and it would do what you described.

          I wont lie I have revved it past 6500, i'll see if I can get my hands on some tools, feeler guage, and the specs to adjust the valves to. should be a good idea to maybe save and invest in some Ls vlavetrain possibly if im going to keep this thing for a while, thanks man!
