I would *really* check your install. I mean, honestly, that is enough retard to kill almost 10-15hp.

Your lack of fuel caused your ringlands to explode. I'm almost 100% sure. Pull the head off and have a look.

(..oh, and sell me the head, you're probably buying a whole new motor. ;) )

im usin the head on a ls/vtec setup

Depending upon when you take the PLX readings, they will differ.

The Bosch sensor isnt as accurate as time goes on (as it heats up). The PLX is great for general idea readings, far more accurate than an EGT, or atleast a better reading to go by, but doesnt match that of the NTK sensor. It's for that reason there is a $600 difference.

To answer the emails (and any possible future ones in advnaced), yes, I offer the LM-1 (the datalogging but a wee bit slighly bigger) wideband as well, as well as the RPM convertor that almost everyone inquired about (everyone that emailed me from here that is).

Let us know how the build goes.

I can only assume the computer system updating that is currently going on caused the error with your phone number, hence I dialed a wrong number. I was truly hoping you would call back using our toll free number.

Sorry not shipping to an address other than your billing address is an inconvenience. Its to protect the interests of my company as well as quite possibly the card holders.

BTW, had NO CLUE, who you were on this forum, else I would have promptly sent you a PM.

Damn. Thats allot of retard. :o That definatly wasnt timing related. I too would check you wideband, go over all the wires. Make sure secure connections. Solder them if you didnt use solder. Cant hurt heh.

thats odd....seemed that everyone said that the vafc hack advanced timing....and from what i found 3degree of retard was reasonably....oh well
hondata is here so i wont have to worry any more

You still didn't figure out what the problem was. If you get Hondata and tune it the same way with your wideband you just going to blow it up again. I would like to know what was wrong so at least some people won't make the same mistake.
