Salam, I have a question and hope fellow members will guide me. I have Civic 2005 EXi 140k driven. I noticed its RPM at 120 is 38000 or 39000. is it ok or something wrong happening to my car? moreover, when should I god for gear box overhauling? i mean is it necessary at 150k as my car have no issue in gears or engine.

Hoping for better guidance.

Regards,

Wa Salam, though I am not an expert but having RPM of 3800 / 3900 at speed of 120 KM/hr seems very much reasonable, i am getting almost the same on my Civic 2005 EXi Prosmatec - if you have the manual tranny i think you should have a better RPM as you have got 5th forward gear as well whereas in Prosmatec there are only 4 forward gears, regarding gear box overhauling, i dont think there is some hard n fast rule to do that until it slips some gears or create some sound or leak some fluid. Just get the Honda MTF replaced after certain mileage as per manual.

Thanks bro for your clarifications. BTW from where I can get PVC Trunk tray for my 7th gen civic in Rwp/Isb, plz.

Any time bhai, i really don't know from where we can find it, in fact i am searching for that thing too - MashAllah trunk of my car is in absolutely genuine condition and i want to keep it genuine so want to place PVC Utility tray there in trunk but no luck so far.

P.S. Seniors / other members can you please advise from where the Utility PVC Trunk tray can be found from ISB / RWP for 7th Gen Civic?

[/quote]

salam,

PVC tray for 7th gen not available anywhere, only a universal tray widely available could serve the purpose.

i get 120km/h at 3600 rpm on 5th gear (manual vti oriel).

Thanks dear

****yep its an exi, with a simple engine, i shared pic of my vti oriel which has VTEC Engine. EXI is more fuel efficient as VTEC is petrol thirsty but a rocket ** also mines manual and your EXI is auto.**

****VTEC's 7th gen rpm on 5th gear at 120km hovers in between 3300-3600+-****

AoA .. so i was having fluid leakage issue from Power Steering Pump, just as an opinion visited Aqaash today, he recommended to replace the SEALS n the leakage will be stopped so i got it done through him, took an hour or so, his guy Faheem who also work for Honda I-9 serviced all of the pump, replaced seals, flushed PSF n poured Honda PSF, i urged Aqaash if i have to replace the PSP n go for Kaabli but he guaranteed n was confident that replacing seals n servicing the pump should get the job done .. total cost of service + seals + Honda PSF bill = Rs. 2500/-

Now up coming works would be

1. Getting rid from Shell Helix 20W-50 to 10W-40 (though Aqaash asked me to go for Honda 10W-30).
















2. Installing NGK stock plugs (mentioned in Honda manual) - Current ones are Denso (not sure about exact part number).

Doing all of the exercise for better mileage, which is currently between 8 - 9 KM/L (with hyper miling n extremly low foot)

P.S. I have 2005 EXi Prosmatec ... any tips from seniors please .. would be highly obliged.

Shell isnt the best of oils. If you can source Liqui Molly it would be good, otherwise settle with Zic. As far as the oil grade is concerned, dont jump from shell 20w-50 to 10w-30, might cause you problems straight away as shell 20w-50 is quite viscous oil. Over time your piston rings and seals adjust to the thicker oil and may start leaking oil if you shift to a thinner grade. 10w-40 is good enough for a car over 120k plus on the odo.

Both NGK BKR5E and Denso K16 are recommended as per Honda manual. However if you're running cng as well, you might as well have to settle for a colder spark plug, like NGK BKR6E or Denso k20. Use high octane alongwith the regular premium fuel and enjoy the ride. I have a vti oriel pros, giving around 10.3km / lit (without ac in KHI city) on petrol and around rs. 4.9 / km on CNG.

Please elaborate what do you mean by "settle for a colder spark plug" what is the difference between BKR5E and BKR6E and why would latter perform better on CNG

The numeral in the plug's variant like BKR5E or BKR6E shows the heat rating of the NGK spark plug. As per the recommendation of NGK, for CNG fuel we need colder spark plugs, meaning honda recommends BKR5E so we can settle with BKR6E or equivalent

I use petrol and cng both. So shall i go for 6E? will it be bad for using on petrol?

@others, any idea what is recommended spark plug gap for our civic? and i heard for cng usage it is a little more (or less?)? Aqash did not check gap saying that these are new and gap adjustment is not needed but i read that even with new plugs, one must check gap.

As per manual, 1.1mm is the recommended gap. Normally the plugs 5E or 6E available locally are -11 variants so both are factory preset at 1.1mm. Anyhow, rechecking the gap is not a big deal and takes less than a minute.

If you're using cng and petrol both, i'd say use the 6E since cng is already underpowered and hotter plug might even reduce the power output, slight bit though.

Let me confuse or help you a bit more, go for yokohama Advan .. Michelin is too soft for Pakistani roads .. consider Yokohama Advan

[HellsGuardian]

Which tyre of the the three lasts longer? too soft tyre will give up early i assume.
Most of reviews for yoko vs cc5 on pakwheels are with cc5

Salam,

Dear fellows plz guide me about DVD unit for my 7th Gen. I have seen V7 DVD with Navi 7 inch screen costing around 19K and looks like Pioneer DVD units. Does anybody know performance of this system, I mean is it good to use or I should go for Pioneer as these r lil expensive starting from 32k to onwards and I dont want to spend much amount but want good sound result and display as well.

Any guidance plz.

Regards,

Got Hankook Kinergy 195/65 R15 for a friend's exi this week and they came out to be pretty decent tires, would have stuck to 185's but the alloy mounted on the car was pretty wide so had to settle with the 195s. Fresh tires for 6K each was a steal, they are soft n quiet and hopefully would take the beating of our roads.

i have used Continentals, Dunlop, Bridgestones (never used YOKOS) but my best purchase was MICHELINE Energy XM2.

by far the most superb tire of all i have ever used, never buying anything else ever again other thn micheline.
