IM USING POOR PEOPLE OCTANE BOOSTER (TOLUENE)

Teamdiesel

Dial down the caps my friend...you are making my eyes hurt. I have never really seem much people make respectable numbers with these cams in relation to their setups. The best all around cam I have seen and used (and I have used alot lol) is the Skunk2 tuner2 cams.

vtec, try kicking it in

VTEC IS WORKING

Something wrong other than the cams. Torque is too low for a 2 liter. Check the basics, compression, leak down, etc. Triple check that the cam timing is correct. Make sure that the engine turns over by hand without excessive effort. Check to make sure that the brakes are not dragging, the wheels should spin freely. Good luck.

x2, for this specific motor/setup you don't need the Victor X.

Teamdiesel

^^ He upgraded from a Skunk manifold to a vicyorx and gained 15whp and a better powerband, but you think he should change it?? To what?

Teamdiesel

I have had nothing but good luck with the victorx in my experiences. It has made more power than my previous Skunk Pro manifold, with the same setup.

First graph looks like low cam only, second graph i am not sure if thats with the Vx manifold swap since the OP isn't to clear on whats all going on.

gaby-dr

first dyno plot was high cam, im thinking my cams are giving me troubles, i checked compression, made a leak down, checked cam timing, everything looks ok, but still no power. i'm running compleat catback, ill try open header

slowsleeper

so whats the second graph of?

So are you saying the second graph is just the low cam (no VTEC)?

Teamdiesel

I think he is saying the first graph is with the skunk manifold and the second graph is with the victorx.

SKUNK2 PRO2 VS TODA C

accorse07

Allow myself to quote...myself. Compression and octane is not high enough to take advantage of the both sets of cams you have used.

Do you have similar set-ups from local people that have been able to get higher numbers on 87 octane? You may want to step down on the cam profile to match your compression and octane available to you.

DirtyDA9

Comp ratio is probably too low for thkse cams. Can you not get 93 octane there?

i made 187whp 120tq

jdm b18c type r
unport head
supertech valvetrain
skunk2 valve
370cc injector
PCT pistons
obx tri-y header
3" exhaust
ectune chipped ecu
90 octane

Black R

Which is which? Same motor otherwise? Same intake manifold?

Idk, I think if you're only interested in peak #'s then the victorx could work for you, but every motor I've seen had the area under the curve suffer from that thing. IMO its good for turbo.

Where was the TODA degreed to? I highly doubt that big difference if set right.

int 103, exh 105 center line

DDTECH

um..
This is my opinion

1) neither cam is good for you right now.

2) The motor is not healthy, as Todd stated before, lets get some Compression test numbers leak down test. Remove the spark plugs and try to tune the motor over by hand.. you should be able to move it with some or little force..

3) post up your ign / fuel tables or post the caliberation.

Aside from maybe the motor not being heathy, it might just be a freak thing that neither cam is working for you, or neither cam was put to the correct centerlines. Its also possible with that low of octane you're not taking advantage of any ign timing and having to be really conservetive..
lets get some more info.

DDTECH

also, from 6100-7100, it either needs more ign or more air.. thats a pretty big loss in power lol

gaby-dr

last tune was using 100 octane, also im pretty sure i used correct center lines,
compression test was 240 straight all over 4 cylinders. ill show my calibration

intake would love 100

DDTECH

^^ correct.
