So, from my previous posts, I've posted that I was at 11lbs. Turns out (after my boost gauge re-install) I'm only boosting 8lbs, which to me is a great thing!

My question is, knowing that we have to retard the timing for our s/c setups, when I retard my timing to 16 degrees, my car runs like ***. It bogs like hell and misfires.

I'm running an Apex N1 catback exhaust w/o a cat and my friend didn't put the 2nd O2 sensor in so its reading about a 1.24. Could this be the reason for my car to bog? misfire? burnt plugs?

Also, I've noticed that when I run the BKR7E spark plugs, my car also runs like ***. When I put back my Denso Iriduims though, my car runs strong and better.

My current setup:

98 GSR

Jackson Racing Supercharger--8lbs
Stock injectors (DSM blacktop 450cc Injectors in the mail)
FMU
AEM Fuel Rail
Walboro Fuel Pump
B&M fuel pressure gauge
Magnaflow Spark Plug wires
MSD Ignition Coil and box(?)
AEM cam gears
Short Ram intake
DC 4-2-1 Header
ApexI N1 Catback Exhaust W/O cat

Thanks in advance.

 

help??

 

Anymore playing with FMU's and manually retarding the timing is a waste. Get the 450's and tune it on CROME or get a local that's capable to tune it for you.

Close the gaps on your plugs to about .028, and get real tuning...that's the true answer.

how about hondata s100? I got it for dirt cheap. and the BKR7Es were set to .30.

 

s100 is fine, .30 is fine, if it blows out just close the gap and make sure your ignition system is in proper condition. the end.

My ignition is in proper condition. question though:how come my car runs like *** when I run the colder plugs???

 

gap your plugs down to .30-.27 see if it helps.

BTW: If you retard your distributor yes, it will help, but your low end will suffer drastically.

It is their way of "making it safe to run" without revamping the ECU.

I did that and it made my car almost undrivable becaues of the constant bogging and hesititation.
