100 is definitely not gone or even missing a cylinder imo. Probably just needs some love.
bone stock gear limited to 140+ some extra from tire deflection. more if you're doing a higher limiter.
whats the mileage on the motor and the maintance records? maybe your timing is a little off or something lol.
225000KM on the odometer but i was told it is another motor inside so it doesn't matter, car sat about 4 years with some startups.
a month ago i baught it, replaced gearbox (reverse gear gone), changed engine oil, gearbox oil, differential oil, power steering oil, brake fluid, checked all the brakes, cleaned and adjusted
tried messing with ignition, but its already far in advanced
fuel consumption is aprox 8L/100KM (i don't know gallons per mph) of mostly open road and normal driving conditions
i have done a compression test and all cly pop out around 9 BAR +/- 0.1 BAR
checked that tiny end of headgasked you can see and i think thats not original gasket but maybe a thicker one, its not compleatly metal gasket
previously had civic sedan 4gen D15b2 (90hp) and she could do 195kmh on a good day, thats almost 120mph and its almost 30hp less (consumption around 6L/100km)
and civic 4gen hb ivt b16a1 (150hp) and consumption was 6,5L/100km
P.S. i have 165/65/13" tires
the car starts on the first crank every single time, like a bomb
no CELs?
now nothing
and there is something wrong for sure, fuel consumption is 10L/100km, checked with a full tank
to be honest i think i average about 25-28 mpg on the highways nothing much more while the 4wd is engaged so your not too far off from mine.
have you tried to check the codes on the light even though it isnt showing up maybe you can still pull a code.
im out of ideas btw lol
i dont know how to even read the codes on the damn thing...
Efs have a really cool way to check codes under the pass side carpet in the foot area
There's a led bulb that flash on and off and they read a code to you in a series of flashes,
long flashes symbolize sets of 10 short flashes symbolize ones slot
so 3long flashes and 1 short flash would be code 31
then google the code or reference a thread on here.
And yes fuel consumption will be much higher with 4wd engaged it's exerting power to different places you will lose energy .
has anyone raced a 4wd. Rt vs disengaged fwd rt? That'd be interesting haha

car is having abnormal fuel consumption
and to top it off, my clutch basket died today
in 500km it burned almost 2 liters of oil with oil treatmant inside
that's not common, its like 2x consumption of 2wd and I'm not pushing it
other problems could be bad head gasket / valves even tho i think i mentioned that already
from first owner, 100 000km on the clock, sounds healthy and crisp, no smoke whatsoever, compression is 13bar in all 4 cly, gonna swap it to my wagon soon
today same thing and no leaks
motor is f*cked up
