Done my swap

its a JDM B16A G2, what else I should be doing now?

Changing timing belt? Water pump? Spark plugs? I heard I can get the timing belt and the water pump from dealer?

Also..how come theres a huge sound coming from the engine when high rpms(I don't have tach...)? What is that? VTEC?

Hey,
When you did the swap, you should have change the timing belt, water pump, belts all @ once, so you know how many kms for your next change again(write it down). You can purchase all of that @ the dealer(I suggest using all OEM parts unless it is performance wise). The extra noise when you make high revs is your VTEC engaging.

BTW: how long the pump and belts should be changed?

Timing Belt/Water Pump replacement every 110,000km approx. and as far as brands I find dealer to be nothin but more expensive...I use Carter Water Pumps and either Dayco or Prenco timimng belts...never had a problem with them and I beat on my crx!

well if you don't have a tach, you may think it's only at 3000-4000rpm...when infact you're well over 5000, in which case you'll have hit vtec

dun worry, you won' t likely blow it unless you're in vtec going 6000rpm and you decide that it'd be fun to shift from 5th gear into 2nd In which case, your tranny would eat itself, and the pistons would slap the valves through the valve cover hhahaah well not literally but you'll get something nasty like that

lol... well I sat in a full prepped race CRX with a b18c5 in it fully prepped and when we hit VTEC I thought the engine had exploded.... the driver still wished he had a camera to capture my reaction....

It should be VTEC, B16 is VTEC motor.

Sounds awesome eh? If you don't have a tech meter, get one. You will need it.
