ok peeps i have a obd0 b16a with wiseco 11.5:1 pistons, buddy club spec3+ cams, supertech valve springs and retainers, aebs intake manifold, professional products throttle body, password jdm intake, spoon ecu (from japan, not a fake ecu), ok heres whats going on, a month ago my timing belt broke, i was at an idle, had the car towed back to the hotel (i was out of state), me and my brother fixed the timing belt, car ran just like before. well i drove it home, a week later i was messing with my fuel timing, and i noticed my cam gears (jg engine dynamics) were wobbling or out of round. so a couple of days ago me and a friend changed out my cam gears, no wobble. now the car acts like it has a loss of power in vtec and wont go past 7000 or 7500 sometimes, my rotor button was loose, i changed it and took it out, same thing, yes the car is warm, oil level is fine,. sensors check out voltage wise, speedo works, no codes, what could it be? could my fuel pressure be too high? whats going on? this sucks. please help!

 

sounds like the timing is off. are you sure the wobbleing cam gears didnt damage the cams?

 

well we put the stock cam gears back on and it seems fine, no more wobbling. the cam timing is on, distributor timing seems a little retarded but im not sure, a friend of mine set the timing, and the head and block were shaved a small amount and he said the timing was ok. can i have too high of fuel pressure for stock injectors? is 52-54 wot too high for stock injectors and fuel pump?

 

Have you done a leak down test on the motor yet ot make sure that you havent damaged anything internally. Hopefully you got lucky and didnt bend any valves. We have had cars come in with the same problem and some have bent valves and some the lucky people dont !!

 

52psi WOT under no load seems high. But if thats under load it should be fine.

 

i backed the fuel down some more. to 46-48 wot still doing it, we didnt do a leak down test but did a compression test and across the board it was 260,260,255,255. o think i have a valve out of adjustment but not sure if its bent. things are really getting to me. ive had nothing but problems since i put this motor in. why ! why!

 

compression looks fine, valve adjustment wouldnt cause this big of problem, unless one of the adjuster nuts has come off and let it back all the way out.

 

i backed the fuel down some more, still doing it, also just noticed that when it happens my vafc cuts off and comes back on, any ideas? grounds? bad vafc? please help.
