Bump with an update.. on the last oil change I noticed that my car is reducing oil and blowing blueish black smoke on high rpm, i just neglected and thought to use it as long as it could take, but unfortunately on Monday my transmission got slipped.
This issue came into being due to the rainy season, when they opened the gearbox the oil was mixed with water, my bad
So decided to change the transmission along with the complete engine cause im not in favor of repairing/overhauling. Went to BG and was in search of a good D17 VTEC along with tranny but couldn't find a good one tough and finally got my hands on a D16w7 VTEC-E.
Here's a little introduction about this motor which I found on the web
Found in Civic ES Turkey, Europe and Singapore
D16w7 VTEC-E (economy)
115bhp at 5600rpm
Torque 112lb at 4300rpm
Compression 10.9:1 (highest compression among all Civic ES motors but this one ain't for performance)
with complete uncut wiring and ECU (Pm12)

Suggestions plus positive and negative comments are welcome.
P.S suggestion needed regarding new ecu wiring, can anyone will suggest a good guy will do the wiring job?

Aoa. I am new to this forum. I need expert opinion please. I ve honda civic vti oriel prosmatic 2005. When the car is stationery and idling, and if I shift it from D to R, it gives a slight jerk. Is it normal or unusual? Pls advise me. Previously I owned Mitsubishi lancer 1.6 glx Cvt. It's response was different. And I am new to honda. But one thing I must say that no car can match the driving experiences with a Lancer. Please respond me.
Regards

I'm a noob at this stuff, but have you checked transmission oil?

You might know this already, a novel implementation of Vtec in sohc engines is the VTEC-E implementation (E for Economy). VTEC-E uses the principle of swirling to promote more efficient air-and-fuel mixing in the engine chambers. VTEC-E works by deactivating one intake valve. In the sohc VTEC-E implementation, only one intake cam-lobe is implemented on the camshaft. Actually it is really a flat "ring". In operation this means the relevant rocker arm will not be activated causing the engine to effectively work in 12-valve mode. This promotes a swirl action during the intake cycle. VTEC is used to activate the inactive valve, making the engine work in 16-valve mode in more demanding and higher rpm conditions. Honda was able to implement air-fuel mixture ratios of more than 20:1 in VTEC-E during the 12-valve operating mode. I don't have info about the specs of the engines you have bought but im sorry for your loss , it gets heavy on pocket when all of a sudden such problems arise whose solutions aren't cheap at all
Btw are oem mounts inlcuded in the package ? Oil ones or rubber ?
