what...cure...forget that...my exhaust heat will cure that bad boy....lol...I'm to lazy to do that anyway....come on d...lol

lol thats what I did the first time. paint cracked up and fell off, this is likely cause by the high egts I was probably having. I never tuned the ignition for the two weeks that my car was running because the clutch was just slipping after the first few pulls and the motor was knocking. I know I could have used more timing, but I wasn't too concerned with it then.

D..the single cam is back on...no water, oil leaks, just fuel in the cylinders...I didn't realize how important mechanical timing is until I had the distributor all the way advance and it drove but not the way I liked it...so my brother saw it and adjusted.....man does the car pull without boost..I"m put some miles on it before I boost...

[dbsharp]

you need to sync your dizzy properly and then you need to work on your timing map. if advancing the dizzy all the way makes it feel faster you probably dont have your timing right.

I ran over my laptop with my car! The screen is busted all to shit but it still works I am using it now! I have not been able to do much tuning on my car yet, my map will be better soon, but I have a pretty decent vacuum timing map. Got it from a stock f22a map and modified it slightly. Ill give it to you if you want.

[Gtseviper]

No I meant it felt way better when I put the distributor more to the center mark..I had it way advance and it was driving like crap...when you say sync the time...do you mean get the mechanical timing and ecu timing to match

[dbsharp]

bingo! jump your service connector and get it set correctly. if your dizzy is advanced fully then you are increasing your actual timing considerably.

Its been a while since Ive posted so I add an update.

Its running decently on 8psi. I am running on a poorly tuned map right now, but it is good enough to not cause an issue. I ran over my laptop so I cant really do much tuning right now. Ill get another one soon enough and get the car tuned right. My clutch really sucks, it chatters like a mofo and does not like slipping at all. Thats what I get for using a used clutch. Ill just save up some cash and get something new.






Its nice to have it back on the road.

Oh yea, I have yet to have any issues with blowing my couplings apart. If I start having this issue with more boost, Ill weld the shit up.

[Gtseviper]

that looks real good d...I plan on putting a f22b on my block as well..it is something about the dohc....that gets me going....

[Gtseviper]

I did a battery relocation yesterday...more room for me....lol

[dbsharp]

I got a new laptop now! If I could just get ECTune to work! Dam user account controls!!!

[drummersteve7]

no shit man, if there was a way to use someone else licesnse I could throw you mine.

freaking not using it right now anyways.
waiting for my h22 total build.

right now just rocking my p28 with a crome tune.

ectune and hondata just sitting around the house.

EC what I told you AEM AEM AEM

[dbsharp]

The license is fine, It is windows that is causing the issue. (I think).

Hey Errol, find me a real good deal on AEM and ill get it. Until then Ill leave it up to you to show me up with COP and a standalone. I know your going to get it..... one day

[dbsharp]

I Finally got ectune working on my new laptop. I went out and did a little tuning and data logging. I think this setup might make a little bit of power when I upgrade a couple of parts. I am running these DSM 450cc injectors right below 80% duty cycle at under 7 psi! Its still a little rich though. Boost pressure is steady as a rock too!

The timing is conservative until I get some time to go do some plug pulling, so there is more power to be had on this setup! Right now I can spin tires in first like its nothing and with fast shifting I can spin them through a good bit of second.

[Gtseviper]

those are looking good D....try to see if you can reduce on the IAT and ECT and you should gain some more power on just that first tune...I can't wait to buy another wideband

[dbsharp]

yea I am going to be working on getting the engine bay to vent better. It gets very warm under the hood. i think I am going to drive around without a hood one day and see what kinda temps I get. I think I am going to be somewhere in the 250-300 whp range at this boost level when I get the ignition timing right.
