waiting for your PM. nice to know that there is a store where you have all the OHC spares and upgrades.
Thanks Shan2nu

The most common issue faced by the OHC owners now days is steering rack oil leakage issue.

Guys,

i am about to get my first VTEC, a 2003 one, been trying to source a brochure or spec and tech that some of you may still have from the old days when you bought the car new ( lucky folks) . If any of you have the brochure / spec data that compared all the models side by side in a table type format, do you mind scanning and posting here, will be a real help.

Thanks.

What spec's are you looking at?

Cheers
Shrey

@shrey - looking for a scanned copy of the original brochure basically.. If it is still around..

The VTEC's going to come to me tomorrow , so Tyre size recommendations please , i need the tyre size to be sane, we drive all around the country, so need something that wont rub and all that - 195/ 60 - R14 ? any experience anyone with Potenzas or Turanzas ? i have run Turanzas on my Indigo now for the last three years - and they have been pretty good, sharp handling but stiff ride which is am fine with, but this is not a Indigo :) , so will Turanzas do guys ?

My OHC when driven on night with headlights on for few mins the horn stops working. When i press the horn the dash board lights get dim but no issue with the headlight and stereo . The battery light is not glowing. When the headlight is off the horn starts working. Also the car starts in first crank till now . What could be the reason ?

i think horns are not properly grounded. another reason may be that alternator is supplying less current.if you have upgraded horn and headlights than you need a relay.

it could be the alternator or your batter cells could be weak. Should be a simple issue to resolve, just go to one of these battery sales/service guys and ask him to check the output on your alternator and battery. Do the check at full load.(AC+headlights+ICE+hazard)

is there any co-relation with the similar problem - While I have my a/c on full blast and i'm driving there is a slight drop in the fan speed at intervals.
for eg. I'm driving with a/c on and blower on 3. while i'm driving the fan blower 'seems' to dip it its speed just for a brief 10secs, like as if the compressor came on or something.
I've had no issues thus far but wanted to know if there is a sting around the bend:-)

Just wanted to confirm, what's the heat range of the stock spark plugs of the OHC VTEC engine?

6E is what is standard on the OHC Vtec!

@sanjay: 195/60/14 should be the perfect upsize. It wont give you any issues whatsoever!

@ shrey - thanks, i will go with 195/60/14 then..

A few days back i was looking for this data sheet of the VTEC , finally got it from Honda directly, posting here in case someone else needs it.. it's low resolution, but does the job ..

The battery guy Checked and told me that it is perfectly ok. He used a multi meter to check and unscrewed the battery and checked the fluid with a sucker .He said it could be relay or alternator problem and he is not qualified to check that.

Now I am worried .if it is relay could be simple fix i guess ,but if it alternator Honda is going to rip me .

Is there any good mechanic appart from HASS near old Airport Road to check that ?
