integra NA build - dyno chart up

[Coupe-R]

great to hear, now just don't do anything stupid on that total guess base map I made you.

Timing is safe on it, but AFR ?????

have you set the timing at 16degrees with a timing light? Do that before comming down also

[vtir.dc2]

yep we're doing it soon.

[dc1integra]

any update?

[vtir.dc2]

Well, its just sitting in the garage, ready & waiting for 2nd attempt at a base tune this Saturday. Going to drive the car down this time instead of trailer, completely nanna it.
And it will tuned this time as it is running sweet.

[vtir.dc2]

ill update what there is to update...

didnt get tuned last saturday as i said it was guna in the post above because of an oil pressure problem which turned out to be nothing at all.
Nevermind though as its going to definately happen this Saturday. Thanks to Sam for putting time aside.

[vtir.dc2]

today was a success, Sam tuned the car with no probs, it runs very well, im very pleased.

but have another prob possibly...

got car home safely but i went to start it 30min after getting home and stopping it, and oil light wouldnt go away, so i killed it after about 5seconds, then tried starting 2 more times, gave it a couple of revs but still wouldnt go away after 10 seconds so i just killed it.

The oil light coming on last week was not low oil pressure, just the car idling to low and pretty much dying when clutch went in.
This is nothing to do with that of course though.
I understand that the engine should be pretty noisey if there is low oil pressure but there are no strange noises coming from engine that i can hear

I dont understand how the oil light can only just come on now when the car drove fine all of today for tuning and fine the way home from Tauranga to Auck.
and car has plenty of oil.
any suggestions?

[Shadow Sol]

check oil level, try another oil pressure sensor, get the oil pressure tested, change the oil and filter - and if you believe in god pray that its something basic or else another rebuild is about to pop up

[nocert]

funny thing is the oil is fine, we already tested the pressure the other night, we changed the oil and filter when we got to tauranga, and i dont think it would be the pressure sender mite be worth a try tho

[brenth]

so how much power did she make freddie?

[nocert]

dont know it was just a road tune. going for dyno tune when we run her in and he gets a skunk2 intake mani. i drove it back from tauranga and lets just say it has plenty of power

[vtir.dc2]

yea actualy i think none of that may happen. could be a fucked engine.
sick of this shit.

[Dionysus]

Hopefully not, oil light is a prick of a thing.

[Coupe-R]

go to FBI and buy an oil pressure gauge, have it in the car full time.
$60 i think, good insurance.,

then you will know what is happening when that light comes on, could be something blocked in the pickup, or blocked in the oil pressure sender.

didn't no cert say "yeh their was metal filings in the pressure sender threads"

that could have blocked the sender up?

[d16a7]

check your earths too? but yeah try checking the sensor.. if you want another (stock) one to try i may have one.. as long as the D series and B are the same

[Horny_Devil]

hes got 2 of my ones there at the moment

[nocert]

wont be sensor as when the sensors crap out the light wont come on at all.

my moneys on 1 of these
oil pump(at the worst)
blocked filter
blocked pickup
crap blocking the hole in the sensor
blocked gallery

[vtir.dc2]

ill keep the ball rolling...

A guy at Honda Pukekohe looked at the motor today. It seems the tiny wee ball bearings from rods being shotpeened have gone into the oil pump and fucked it, which is just fantastic. As ive been saying Drury engine reconditioners who built the engine a real cunty bunch (dont ever send your engine there) dont want to really accept responsibility, but one of the guys has agreed to go over to Honda tomorrow to look at it with the Honda mecanic and see what he wants to do.

[Coupe-R]

totoally the engine builders fault, hasn't cleaned parts properly before assembly, didn't do up any of the valve adjusters and they were finger tight.

come on so many mistakes, they should own up and admit they fucked up.

P.S how the hell I didn't blow it when tuning and hitting 9000rpm. Oil light wasn't on though Phew!!

so now it actually isn't getting oil pressure,

[vtir.dc2]

yep thats right. but basically the engines pretty rooted and has to be rebuilt again. But if tomorrow the engine reconditioner refuses to accept blame, im getting Honda to rebuild the motor and get it back on road in a few days, and ill be going to small claims to get my money back from the engine reconditioners.

[Dionysus]

Take to Andrew Short at Rally As?

[Coupe-R]

it's clearly their fault, shouldn't have to get angry with them.

If they go to honda, honda can point out the faults, the motor was hardly driven (and the tune is great hehe

[vtir.dc2]

k so further investigation was done. It seems that "glass beads" from the work done to the cylinder head have blocked up galleries and the pump. The port and polish job on the head was not done properly as glass used to clean it were not cleared out so thats the problem. The engine reconditioners are not to blame though as they didnt do this work to the head and cant be responsible for that shit being in it.
The head work was done by an asian guy named Charlie, he had a business called KTF racing and he lived in howick/botany. But he left the country for Taiwan a few months ago. I have his email, but im guessing he will just do the dirty and ignore me as hes across the otherside of the world so i dont think theres much i can do. ive emailed him anyway. So there we have it. Me = screwed. If there is anybody that knows this Charlie guy pretty well, let me know.

Also, the engine needs to be stripped down and rebuilt and bearings replaced etc, so if theres anybody on here, around Auckland looking for a buck, and can do this in there spare time, pretty quickly though, let me know.

[LS/VTEC]

Man u should have just let us built it from the start,very sorry to hear about ur motor, if u were closer to hams we could have alook. but yeah sounds like u definetly need to strip it down and see what damage there is

[d16a7]

il flick you a PM im unsure if its the same guy or not.. but id rather not spam the thread..

[LS/VTEC]
