Mr_ET's new project car, yes it's still a Honda

[Deetz]

Well, it runs!

Turns out the old injectors were all clogged up. After wacking each of them with a wrench, it fired right up, lol

Now just a dizzy issue to deal with

[lhatton]

awesome

[Mr_ET]

Sorry for the lack of updates and progress, I have been super sick this week and have spent most of it in bed.

The car starts everytime now and does have codes so I need to check them and hopefully get it on the dyno this weekend.

The motor was making you sick...


What codes is it throwing (my problem usually lol)?

good to hear its running

[Mr_ET]

not sure yet I have not felt well enough to check.

I was lucky to have Deetz help me this week since I had trouble even just standing lol.

I feel a bit better today so if all goes well I will check the code(s) tonight.

I am expecting a TPS code since I haven't adjusted it yet and possibly an o2 code since I wasn't sure which of my 2 o2 plugs should be used.

Both easy fixes.

She is very loud open header right now and idles between 1000-1200 with those untuned pro 2 cams :P

[Mr_ET]

So the only code it was throwing code 7 for the TPS and I have corrected that.

Getting loaded on a trailer tonight and dyno is now scheduled for Thursday at 7pm with Toma.

[lhatton]

Good luck!

[projekz]

Hope you can start living your life "a quarter mile at the time" soon


Hope all goes well with Toma. I'm gonna start the guessing at 157 WHP and 134 ft/lbs of torque. Don't hold me to that tho

[Mr_ET]

how about a partial pull to 3k and 43whp lol

We never ran it full bore we weren't able to get a good a/f reading open header so I am getting the exhaust welded on tomorrow and need to fix an issue with a throttle body leak that started on the dyno.

I can actually feel it sucking my finger between the tb and intake manifold...

The map sensor was also being thrown off by that so we had to bypass the stock location.

I was able to drive the car home and it drives much better but without the exhaust in place we cant finish the tune.

Your WHP numbers might be right since it will now be tuned running a stock si/ex exhaust with a stock teg cat

[Mr_ET]

tb gasket leak is fixed and I tried a different VSS and my speedo now works also.

I'll get the exhaust welded hopefully early next week and get it tuned finally.

[projekz]

I`m gonna need your help to build up the wagon once you get back here! Maybe a D-series for a change

when will you learn lol tisk tisk

[Mr_ET]

a turbo d would fit the bill

It won't crankwalk

So update:

Finally hit the dyno with Toma after fixing all the small problems.

Very dissapointed with the final numbers. With that said this car is running a full stock exhaust from an ex/si with a stock integra cat converter.

Is it costing me a ton of power, I'm not sure but VTEC made pretty much 0 power. Maybe one of you guys has an idea what is happening.

low cam tuning, alright making good power up to now...


VTEC crossover, not making any more power until really up there


Final numbers VTEC is set at like 7200rpms



Log of a/f and power/torque



Cams are set to 0 intake and +4 exhaust as per skunk2. I also had Precise degree them but it didn't even look like they did anything so I am pretty sure they didn't degree them but still charged me for it...

They also didn't give me the P2V or V2V so hesitant to change the cam gear settings.

Thoughts comments?

[Dodobird]

Just saw you a few hours ago at the shawnessy dairy queen


I doubt you noticed me, but I was pretty much staring at your car grinning at the awesome that I knew was hiding under the hood

EDIT: apparently not awesome yet? didn't notice the dyno numbers until after I posted... Seems extremely low for a built GSR?

Still looks pretty damn

[Mr_ET]

Yeah I don't know it's really odd until we activated VTEC it was making really good power and we were expecting good numbers even with the stock exhaust and cat.

I have those on just so the car passes an OOP in Quebec.

Then the good suspension goes back on, interior comes back out and I uncork the exhaust.

Unless the cat was completely clogged I don't get why it was making so little power and even then how the hell does engaging VTEC lose like 30whp at 5500...

[eglove]

wow. those are some really low numbers. my friends semi-built gsr (mainly headwork, mild p&p) is pushing 192hp

[dj_honda]

yeah...maybe if you thought it was the cat you should have just unbolted it and run open header?

[Toma]

It was a weird one... I thought for sure when I saw 130 whp on LOW cam that the High cam would make some serious JAM!

Shoulda been easy 180ish based on the low cam numbers.

But it was not to be. To me, its almost like the cams were installed off a tooth or something...

Very odd.

But I'm expensive, so Mr. ET decided to take her home and figure it out from there

Was nice to see you again, good luck, lemme know what you find.

I would compression check it... a oddball compression may point to cams being installed out of whack.
