Congrats.

When's the dyno?

[Deadphishy]

The motor will be broken-in in stages.
0-100 miles on a TSX map with added fuel and retarded timing (no vtec)
100-500 on light street tuned map (no vtec)
500-1000 miles re street tuned map low RPM Vtec testing/breaking in
1000+ miles street tuned no hard driving untill the dyno tune
Dyno tune when i can get in.
more then likely im going to pure tuning in toledo ohio.

[Deadphishy]

75 miles, and running stronger.

I removed the sway bar last night, and i still have some exhuast issues to work out. Motor knocks a bit even though i've taken a fair amount of timing out. It also seems to run lean on the part throttle stuff, so i've added a ton of fuel.

I'm going to have my work cut out when it comes time to dial this thing in...

I'm curious, do you hear the knock or see it in Kpro (or do you have the MIL set up to flash)? How much ignition are you running?

I don't hear any knocks. I just see them in kpro. (and the flashing MIL) It seems to really knock at 2.5-3k during light acelleration in any given 5 mile city drive ill rack up about 60 knocks. sometimes more sometimes less.

sounds awesome bro! excited to see what she does when she's all broken in!

[Deadphishy]

Did a lot of tuning today. Went back to the stock TSX map and started fresh. Added a lot of fuel, then i only needed to take out a small amount of timing for low RPM stuff. I put in the 270 modded to 490 injectors, and once this tank is done, i'm going to E85 for the Cooling and higher Octain. We have a few stations here in metro detroit now.

Tuned on E85 ey? Nice.

Will 490's be enough for E85 @ the power you're making? How much do you think you're making?

Any problems running the a1 pump?

i like the fitting that u use on the coolant port....looks pretty big....doesnt it hit the throttle body where the cables go?

Don't know yet if the injectors are big enough. And i havn't had any issues with the pump yet but i havn't been beating on it.


Also the coolant fitting i show ended up being to big and hit the TB. So i ordered a 90deg fitting from Summit racing.

[Deadphishy]

Having a little issue with the speedometer now. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm going to try a homemade grounding kit to see if it helps.

Bump

And at 7k my injectors are just over 50% duty. So i don't think i'll have a major problem

i think ur right lol. thats pretty low haha

[Deadphishy]

I think i'm going to pick up the Hytech III cams on k20a.org and drop those in before i get it tuned. I feel they are a great choice because of the lack of Lift. The are only .506 lift. And the duration increase will help feed this bigger motor.

I just don't know what valve springs to get. My motor won't be spinning higher then 8k. It has 2003 type s springs in it now.

[SP33D FREAK]

i should note if you do get hytech cams....ur kpro will sense knock counts... buts its false knock... just get some headphones to listen to see if its really coming from the bottomend if it is not coming from the bottomend just disable your Knock Sensor in KPRO
