12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

Well today i finally got a chance to go to ReNR's hosue to attempt to tune my car. We got to this spot where the road was nice and long and traffic was minimal. I started it on a rolling start in 3rd gear from 2,800 Rpms till 7,000. Well i guess all months driving on my basemap killed my ringlands. The car immediately shut off once i let off the gas at 7,000. i popped the clutch and it started up only ti blow a bunch of smoke into the cockpit. WTF???? i tunr around and park it while the car is running and to my surprise i see lots of smoke coming from the valve cover brather. :o

RenR: Dude, is that what i think it is
Me: yeah..WOW!!!
RenR: do you even still want to tune???
ME: You think???

needless to say we took a look at the data gatthered and it didnt look to bad. The thing i think that killed it was a major drop in fuel around 3000-5000 and my AFRS were around 11 or so. The timing on TE was like 28 or so around that RPM range so i think that might have had something to so with it aswell.


So now im going to have to put together another motor with the spare blocks i have in my garage. I have a ZC sohc block and a Y8 head (Sans valve cover) and a Y8 IM ( sans Fuel rail )

So if anyone has a fuel rail and a VC for that head please let me know ASAP caus i need it to finish the car by track day saturday.

thanks HMT :)

Update!!!! here are the pics

more to come of the aftermath insode the block

I might have the VC, I'll check it out tomorrow. I know I have a fuel rail, but it has a stripped out FPR hole. I ran it w/ only one for a bit w/ no problems, you could try it if you want.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

yea fear the VeeTack PowAr from now

:P

let me know when ur doing the engine

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

dammit i wish i would have asked you before i spent 30 bucks on one from egay. however ill take it in case i dont get it here in time. when i get the one from egay ill just give it back to you if thats OK.

Donald-

Im going to be removing the motor ( or atleast attempting to ) tonight.


anyone that wants and has time to help me let me know. i been working a new job with night hours from 9:30-pm-6Am so if you can help during the day that would be great. If not im going Solo on this.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

Damn sorry to hear the bad new Julio. But you've boosted on that zc for awhile so it was just a matter of time I'm thinking. I've got my LS up for sale ;) Good thing your working that graveyard shift otherwise you'd be SOL on a ride. Good luck with this sohc zc mini me setup.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

yeah thanks Bruh! i hope that A6 dizzy fits that Y8 head....::crosses fingers::

Im gonna take pics this time..i swear..

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

Vato I told you it was a "I hurrrd type of thing that the a6 dist bolt right onto the y8 head". Just remember what Eazy said, "Don't qoute me boy cause i ain't said ----." 8) I just ditched almost all of my sohc ----, almost all of my honda ---- to a guy for scrap metal. So I can't really help you with ---- you may be needing.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

Can I have your Cams for the GB?

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(

paint the engine bay while the motor is out. Unless you plan on getting a red paint job.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

maybe you just blew a head gasket?

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

:-X

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

not sure but last i checked headgaskets dont blow asslodas of smoke into your engine bay.

but hey that could be a posibility

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

maybe u jus blew out ur rings completly? iono... man julio, i wanted to tell u at the meet, but it sounded like ur motor was already blown up, like it was barely hangin on.

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

yeah i had a feeling it was. beleive me it woudnt have hurt my feelings.

thanks though ;)

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

check ur hg tho julio, remember u were over heating around every turn even with ur fan on constant. n its on the same side (1 and 2) so it could jus be the hg on that side. somewhere =x

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

hey julio i blew 3 headgaskets on my n/a set up that you saw. it didnt stop till i got the hks metal head gasket.i guess to much compression for the honda gasket. something to think about

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
 

HKS....wow baller ----...
ill look into it next time i build another one

Re: 12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
