Re:warning: carb spring users
im not pissed at anyone, im just pissed at my luck. i've wanted a turbo wagon for a year now...and i got it. but now i dont. it's taunting me.
so we've come to a conclusion that there was tons of detonation...but i never heard anything. i was running open downpipe too, that might have been a problem.
what would cause detonation...all this talk about poor tuning, i didnt even get a chance to tune it! i was counting on ghettodyne beeing overkill for tuning, but i guess not. im was using the base program 1 degree per psi and whatever the extra fuel was for the 450 injectors, i even have a walbro fuel pump. and my dizzy is a reman all the parts inside it are brand new!
i had stock wires and stock plugs. well the plugs were an odd number. what if the plugs were a step hotter than the factory plugs? think that might do it?

whatever the ghettodyne base fuel curves are is what the 450s were pushing. injectors should have been staying open for 10ms-14ms @ 9.5 psi.
i think i'll bum an a/f gauge off a buddy of mine if i try this again.

really shouldn't have blown... I run 13psi daily on my 100K mile Z6, but then again I have low compression... Nothing I like more than telling honda guys I have 8.4/1 compression get 13psi by 3700rpm and runs great on 93oct.
