I am having a big problem with detonation. I dont know if its the hot weather or what. Please give me some input. Also what should my timing be set at?

 

I would guess that the JRSC is causing it.

Just giving you a bad time

 

haha i bought the car this way. I have a b16 im building that will be getting that treatment i just wanted to fix this while i had to to drive it.

 

Dustin always being helpful...

Timing should be set at about 8-10 degrees with 92 octane. I'm running at 16 degrees (stock) and 91 octane... I never had any detonation until recently (bad tank of gas). my fuel pressure is leaned out slightly from JR's setting, also and pinging at high rpms only started recently. So either the fuel I have been getting is increasingly lower in quality or I have something wrong with my car... not related to the JRSC.

 

We can take care of your detionation problems with an air to water intercooler setup!!!!! 865-986-4110 TEAMKLR MACE WARD

 

Did you dyno with intercooler yet?

 

I DONT WANT TO BUY ANYTHING....i just want to fix it and have it run good. What kind of power should i expect from it? its a 96 ex....with intake...FMU and intank fuel pump

 

List all of your mods. What are you fuel pressures?

Sonny

 

i do not have a FPR or Gauge. I listed the mods above. JRSC, AEM Intake, FMU, intank fuel pump.

 

Well, if you don't want to buy anything, then it would be difficult to correct your problem. Because at the very leaset, you will need a fuel pressure gauge to know what's going on...

 

then sell the car as it stands and take the bus.

At the very least, buy a freaking fuel guage and an EGT guage. Honda's don't like boost unless they're tuned properly. You can't tune it properly unless you know what's going on inside the motor. Anyone with a wideband O2 monitor will be able to set the car up, but it's up to you to keep the car in tune. Without the proper tools, you're working blind.

 

yeah i mean i dont mind spending little money but not some intercooler crap!

 

well i suggest you call up jackson racing and ask what the proper settings for the fuel pressure and timing are and at the very least set the timing. (if the previous owner didnt have a fuel guage he/she probably did not mess with the settings)
