just a few months ago i had to get a head job done and after i did my car really is not even close to as fast as it used to be. im gettin smoked all the time, when i used to be the one doing the smoking. i have a 92 hb with a 94 b18b in it. anyone know what might have happened??

 

Loss of compression perhaps? Did they change the gasket when they did the head job?

 

what all did they do to the head?

 

everything, it was a brand new head.

 

everything?....... hrmm thats a little too specific.

 

Everything says nothing. did they put new valves in it? new seals? new gaskets? new reatainers? any valve work? any porting?

How about you find out exactly what they did and then we might be able to help you diagnose your problem?

 

pretty much everything u said, except for the porting, im pretty sure they milled it also.

 

If it was simply rebuilt plus shaved a few thousanths, you shouldn't experience any noticable increases. I'd be willing to bet you just got used to the power and it just feels slower.

 

i got beat by a stock accord!!!!!!!! not even a new one!!

 

...that's sad, esp. if you say it was something '93 or older. A well running B18B1 swapped Civic won't suck that hard (with a decent driver.)
