My ignition map numbers are 21.3 at 8150rpm w/17.69 boost; 23.4 at 8150 w/ 14.59 boost.

Distributor timing is stock.

 

When i took the plugs out and look down, there is a little bit of oil on top of all the pistons. And i have a little bit of white smoke out the exhaust when i floor it to 4k rpms and at idle.

Its weird cause my car seems to drive just fine, and the idle seems normal now.

 

this DIRep.

Was this all after ur car spiked to 25psi? do u think that could have anything to do w/ all this? on the timing values they don't look too aggressive. 24deg @ 1 bar is borderline aggressive on pump. Ur map must have had some advance in it because w/ .7deg/lb u should have been @ around 20-21deg off a stock timing map.

 

what management are u using? my timing is around 22-23 on 1 bar, and i havent taken it past that and decreases as my boost increase.

 

if you need a b-series head gasket, I got one for you....brand new!

 

Dude, looking at your ignition map again, at -.55 psi from 5000 rpms + you're about 5 degrees advanced over stock SI timing.....

I hope you didnt retard the timing .7 degrees according to those figures

hit me up on PM, we'll talk some more

Hopefully its just the headgasket...

 

Oh ****, thats exactly what i did. Ah well whatever, i dont wanna work on this **** anymore...cant take the problems anymore

 

I'm using the aem ems.

btw, i dont need a stock gasket.... All parts will be posted next week as soon as i get them taken off(wow thats gonna be fun )

 

The boost spike could've had something to do with it...not sure. I, however, was boosting 15psi fine after that 25psi spike until i changed the ignition maps. So i'm thinking the ignition maps wer to advanced, probably detonated.

What pissed me off was i was datalogging that run, and i forgot to put knock into the parameters to be datalogged. So i didnt get to see if i was getting knock.

 

dude, you are in the shock stage, dont sell your ****....

Ill call you in a few....but right now gotta get ready for a frat party

 

Naw man, i've thought about this for a while now. I just cant handle this anymore. Not trying to sound like a ***** or anything...just cant afford this thing anymore.

IIts just a money pit that never stops.

 

You think you wont mod a WRX? hahaha

Suprdave

 

you cant afford a $80 headgasket if thats whats the problem. if not, stop buying lap dances when you go to the strip club every week, you'll be fine, you're just pissed right now..... Like i said before, you'll be sorry if you sell your **** and buy one of those bug eyed slow wrx's


P.S. Their FAMILY sedans too, haha

dude..give it another go...if its your headgasket, I will sell you mine real cheap (brand new)...don't wanna see anyone kick out because of bad luck......

 

Sam, give that **** another go, i've been where yuor at with workign 30 hours a week and full time school, and the gym. Hard and I wanted to give up but I bought a cheap beater instead to drive around! Which b16 block is this, your original one or the one out of my car?

 

NIck whats up man,
Its another block, its a benson sleeved sir2 block. I didnt get to use your block, its just sitting in my garage. btw, how much did you sell your car for?

I'm still thinking about selling the car. I'll let you guys know what happens. Either way, i still have to change the head gasket whether i keep the car or not.

btw, thanks guys for all the moral support

Dude mase, when i talked to you you started to randomly talk about that high school girl..hahaha i thought you were drunk

 

how much do you want for it? Wouldnt shipping be expensive since your in japan? THanks

 

IM me...make me an offer....

 

UPDATE:

Took the motor out tonight and broke it down. Take the head off and is covered with oil. Examine the pistons in the cylinder walls and notice a chunk of piston gone. This was in cylinder 3,4. Well its a good thing i got outta this ****.

BTW: Went to jail last night for racing my friends stock crx. We were both stock and hardly even raced. ticketed and jailed for racing and speeding. ******* great Dont post flames about how to gay i am for street racing either...i know i fucked up. I'm disappointed in myself...

 

Great...Im extremly nervous now. Im building my d-series motor with srp 9:1 pistons and eagle rods and yours just blew.

While we're discussing timing, let me ask you guys this...I ran 7psi with stock timing and was fine. Now Im gonna run lower compression and Im using 450cc dsm injectors instead of my vortec fmu. Obviously timing is going to be the big deal here, so what is recommended? 1 degree retard per psi sounds ridiculous, I was fine on stock timing at 7 psi.

 

im sorry sam

just out of curiosity, whats the big killers of your guys's engines? just that lots of people blow honda /acuras all the time, not just you FI guys, but even the NA i/h/e guys,just curious, not flaming in any way, im scared shitless if i blow mine good luck</TD></TR></TABLE>

back yard tuners...

 

ouch dude. sorry man... nothing like a good kick in the rib cage while you're down.


i know how you feel. way too often something breaks, and on my occasional skateboard trip to work, or while a friend takes me to class, i want out. i want a car with A/C, power windows, and most importantly a car that will run more than 3 days a week.

 

you know, maybe i'll just kepe my integra NA...
i'm going for a world record now... more than 3 weeks without a "serious" problem still need to get some smaller injectors in - these RC 550 injectors are killing my fuel economy might get some H22A or B20B injectors

 

I"m more worried about my tickets than the motor.
