    Default new to importatlanta and dohc -_-

    Soo, I'm new to the tuner scene and most of my automotive knowledge is centered around trucks. I recently traded my lifted ranger in for a 94 civic with a b20 swap. I've got tons of questions. So far im going to replace the struts that are on it now with some skunk2's and I'm putting all new exhaust on. I'm hoping this will help me because the car
    s running rich as hell right now. I've also been told that I need to run a catch can instead of replacing my pcv valve. I was hoping to get some confirmation on this and some pointers on how I can get this car to pass emissions if I can at all. Also.. I know this just sounds dumb as hell. But I'm not sure if it's vtec or not. How can I determine this and how much would I spend making it vtec? Thanks import. Sorry for the noob-ness

    Im just looking to see what I should be prepared to spend for the vtec conversion if its not already vtec'd. Im not %100 sure what exactly im working with right now, but a buddy of mine is going to come by next week and help me get a better understanding. Also i was wondering if the catch can application is really necessary for a normally aspirated motor. Thanks!

    Look to see which B20 it is. We'll figure out the vtec conversion from there.
