I have decide to take my car to track and see how she do. I manange to take care of all the little details that were bothering me like the heating issue, no leaks, gauges are install and operational.

My only problem is that my car is not tuned, but I have decided to do it the old fashion way, by looking at the plugs. Now I have been messing with the fuel pressure regulator and looking at the plugs to see how is running and so far im doing good. I forgot to mention that I will be running 10 pounds.

They say in a stock engine is not a good idea to go higher than 7 pounds, I figure since my car has eagle rods with vitara piston ARP studs and cometic gasket it should hold 10 psi without any problem.

Now my only concern is the fuel since I'll be using the stock 240cc injectors. Like I mention, I'm using the old fashion way of adding fuel via fuel regulator and checking the plugs. Also I have an FMU that I was planning on using with the 240cc but I don't know if this is a good idea. Now I do have a few questions that I hope you guys can help me out.
So before I get people screaming at me, I have 4 spare z6 engines in my garage, one of them is in the stand getting build as we speak (better over all build, Project "La Civica" Strikes Back, coming soon).

Here are a few questions or concerns that I have and I know a lot of d'holics can help me out or point me in the right direction.

1- sparkplug to use ( the ones that I was using the told me they are discontinue) so which are the ones to use if Im running 10 psi, and also how should I gap them?

2- Ignition timing, right now I have it as factory set, should I change this since Im gonna run 10 psi?

3 - I'm gonna be rolling my 15" Konig Heliums can remember the tires sizes but what pressure should I run on them at the track?

4-I don't have LSD, but I do have a LSD clutch kit capable of 400+ pouds of torque, stock axles will be used, I also don't have a track bar on the car so what will be a good launching rpm?

Im trying to see if theres anything else I should know about, so feel free to ad any sugestions or cencerns.

 

huh?

 

Im thinking the same thing. On 240cc injectors and an FMU its probably making under 200whp. I wouldn't waste the money on the track and set it aside to buy injectors and something to tune it.

 

^^^ 2x

 

Should be called project short cut and janky. This isnt 1996, please buy the right parts to make a reliable setup

 

lol

 

I read maybe 2 sentences and had to abort.

 

sure this isnt a thread from 1990's lol

 

Sounds like he needs the missing link and a vafc and he will be right back in the 90's!!! LOL!!!

 

Come on guys, let help him give him some advice!

 

need to get a hondata and some fuel inj.
text me if u need help

 

The only FMU worth having is a Vortech super FMU and for what it cost you could almost have a Hondata set-up.

My brother used the plug method/FMU/stock injectors on a turbo probe.....the ring lands didnt like it.

 

It's going to blow up with your current method/equipment. You need a tunable ecu, bigger injectors and more background knowledge at a bare minimum. Go to the "Forced Induction" forum and start reading. You'll find everything you need to know and much much more.

 

haha this was a good laugh

 

LOL,, and I don't blame you guys cause after all it does sound stupid and noob. For the record, I do have eCtune, I also have 1000cc precision turbo injectors and 4 bar omni map sensor. I'm building another engine which will better than the one I have now. The FMU that was lent to me it is the Vortech one, and I wanted to used it as a precaution, just in case. I have seen hundreds of cars running 6-7 pounds with a completly stock engine, I figure since my engine is "semi build" that I could maybe push it a bit more 10-12psi still using stock injectors with the FMU and with a bit of reading the plugs do like 3 pases.

Its been an on and off project for me, see my story.

It might not sound or look like it, but I'm not a noob, don't know everything when it comes to tuning but mechanical aspect I'm good, I do have two certificate of auto mechanics and I work not just hondas, but Nissan, toyotas, mazdas, rotaries, V8, straight 6 ect. I guess this is what happend when old skool meets new school, lol.

I see this place hasn't change a bit, somebody says something and boom!! he comes the flame thrower!! LOL Its all good guys.

 

if you have Ectune, big injectors and a 4 bar MAP then put it on already and get to tuning. Buy a wideband too

 

OP...... "noob" is the wrong word..... inexperienced, impatient, foolish......those more adequately describe your current condition.

Since you are not a noob certainly you do realize that in the honda world, tuning is pretty much everything. Do you just not have any local tuners in your area?

 

I think people are just confused by your actions lol. It just makes absolutely no sense why you would risk losing a built motor at the track by using an FMU and checking plugs when you have injectors, a map sensor, and ECTune. Literally the only thing you have to do is pay someone to tune it (Or do it yourself if you're feeling ambitious) and you will make more power, it will be safer, and it's smarter lol. I don't know...I just don't understand, that's all lol.
