just installed some skunk2 pro series stage 2 cams in a friends h22 and it won't idle. the bottom end is stock, head has been ported and has portflow valvetrain with ferrea valves. car drives fine after about 1500 rpm also vtec doesn't feel very strong (may not have anything to do with idle which is what im focused fixing). the car has proseries camgears set at 0 degrees.

 

You using a stock ECU?

You have to tune the motor for these.

 

well i tried several ecu's chipped p28 stock p13 and a skunk2 chipped p72 that has been ran on a skunk2 stage2 not pro series h22 car for couple years now. neither worked.

 

ADD SOME HIGHER COMPRESSION PISTONS AND GET IT TUNED

 

Retard intake 1-2 degrees. Take away lots of fuel. Advance timing to around 22 deg. Get it tuned.

 

haha search for my name bro, same problem but my Skunk2 Pro 2's is in a B18C5. We had to mess around with everything, fpr, cam gears,dizzy,idle screw. About 1 1/2 hour later, we got it to idle around 1,300.

 

well since its not my car im just gonna tell him to take it and get it tuned he has been wanting to put s200 on it anyway. i guess my jobs done. i hope i have better luck putting my pro2's in my gsr this week along with new timing belt and portflow springs retainers, i'll finally get to try out the 66 dollar ebay special valve compressor tool that seems kinda questionable.(it bolts to the head so i won't have to pull the head)

 

adjust the "non adjustable" screw on the underside of the tb near the pully area, prop the throttle open a little with it, adjust timing "idle timing" 22-21deg, take away some fuel, the idle portion of the map will move to the right in hondata because of less manifold vacuum.
