Ive never seen one out of spec. bottom line, if you managed to engineer a turbo kit for your honda, you can build a engine. My ---- has been running 18psi with frequent trips to the track and 6k FTL's for months now. If something was gonna let go, it woulda happened by now.

Huh?

What the ---- does a KS have to do with tuning an engine so it doesn't detonate? Honduh ECU ignores the KS past 5K and during any WOT event. As for tuenaring... on a dyno like it was tuenared... if you find minimum best timing you have a 4-5 degree cushion between you and the beginning of high-freq detonation. No KS needed!

So, yeah, what the ---- does a KS have to do with tuning an engine so it doesn't detonate?

PS - you need to IM me the green key resistor trick, I need it for a friend's car. You have my word that I won't pass it on, and I'm not going to try to sell anything on eGay because I'm a devoted follower of Shipping 102.

He's either getting a kick out of keeping everyone in suspense, or hiding from the people on HT looking for their manifolds. :-X
