Default Dynoed my car had some problems

My 92 hatch made 164hp and 115 ft-lbs of torque. My question is what causes the graph to break up in the higher rpms? I was told Ignition was causing it, but what part ? Cap/Rotor ? Anything else

Do you have an actual .jpg of the dyno plot you can post? You may not actually have a problem, it may just be the reading the dyno took from the ignition/plug wire.

I have a few plots with blank spots along the curve. It was nothing more than a poor tach signal. We repositioned some of the dyno equipment and the problem was solved.

The tuner told me it was ignition by the spikes, and such. Just wondering what parts I should replace to get rid of the problem.

It's a 94 GSR motor with skunk2 intake,ITR CAI,01 Type R cams, and DC4into1.

From too much fuel or too little? I didn't put the wideband on it... DOH! The other spikes at about 5500 is my ecu trying to open up Secondary Butterflies.

With those spikes and the missing bit at the top end, I'd say it was more of a tach pickup problem from the dyno, than something wrong with your car. Does the car cough and sputter at those rpms when you're driving it?

Default Re: (EF8 ownz u)

Do you have stock ecu? If so, this could be your problem. When I replaced my p72 with a skunk2 chipped p28, my skunk2 im was in full affect. Not only did my power increase in low rpms, but high rpms greatly increase.

If you have a skunk2 im, the computer is still trying to open the dual butterfly's and this is where alot of power can be lost

Yes, I still have the stock ecu, but I'm going to get a chipped p28 very soon along with hondata s200.
