i got a 99 gsr, im getting ready to put some s2s1 in my car my setup is going to be

mods
-cai
-dc 4-1 header
-high flow cat
-2.5in exhaust
-exedy clutch
-exedy flywheel
-B&M fpr
-s2s1

when i put these in my car do I need to do anything special to get these to run right in my car?

do i need to turn the fuel pressure up a little bit to provide enough fuel for the cams?

can i still run 18 degrees of timing with the cams?

 

I would suggest getting a VAFC or a VTEC controller. With those cams in a GSR head, stock VTEC kicks in a bit too low. You can feel the dip in power.

18 degrees timing is fine. You may want to bring up the fuel pressure 1-2 psi.

Goodluck..

 

ok thanks man i got a vafc 2 on the way. what do think i should raise the vtec to?

 

I am assuming you will be running stock injectors ?
Set your b&m at 52 psi at Wide open throttle. (read the manual on checking wot fuel pressure).

What ecu are you running ?
You may want to consider a chipped ecu due to the fact that your stock p72 ecu engages vtec way too early for those cams.

You are going to want vtec activation at around 5300-5600 rpms with those cams.

 

I say you get a kenji ecu. I ran that in my car for a while before I got hondata, and really liked it ( I was using skunk stage 1 also). Just tell him you would like a program that is not so rich and it will be you will not be disappointed

 

do i take the vac line off and set it at 52? is that how you set it at wot because i don't have the manual no more.also by raising my up to 5300rpm im goona loose alot of the low end power i had or im i goin to gain any low end by raising the vtec and having these cams

Yes, you take the vac. hose off and set fuel pressure. I recommend setting VTEC around 5100-5200. Losing low end will not be a problem. My motor seemed to feel stronger on the low end when I dropped in the Stage 1's. Passing in 5th gear was no longer a problem after the cam install.

 

thanks man youv'e been a big help
