werd, but i'm not putting much into my b18. just running it bone stock in my crx. if and/or when it blows i'll get a d series and boost the ---- out of it. Not sure I want to boost the b series, once i get it in the car, and running.. i'll probably want the boost though.

I usually go to the locar car wash ($3.00 for 7 munites). I spray that green engine cleaner on to the engine bay for 3 minutes, let it sit for 2 and wash it for 2 usually removes 90% of all the grease and dirt.
