First, let me say there's no reason to make this part on a 5 axis machine. It's a perfect 3 axis job.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you shouldn't. :) Pretty cool.

Excuse my density but that seems to connect to a bracket on the chassis and not the rear suspension? Phone screen posting so maybe I'm missing something. Or that's just mock up most likely?

They always hassle me and say it needs to be back in 3 days while AutoZone never gives a gently caress. I've never needed something that long but don't pressure me, bro.

I think there's an AC thread somewhere though if you run into issues. Or just pm motronic.

The pipes were from my supercharged white car, but I have the same setup on my blue car and it is night and day over stock even when it isn't on E.

Yeah the gains look pretty decent. Can you feel that torque dip on a stock car though? That's what I was curious about.

The exhaust needs equal length headers. EGT gauge for pit temp.

Planning on adding any sort of temp/fan control? Seems pretty slick on charcoal setups and great for helping maintain temps. I only ever had a propane one that I could leave for 8 hours or so without touching it and it was really nice. Charcoal I hear is more futzing with it to maintain but some people like that.

This tells me that you don't have the correct tune, aren't doing it yourself, and don't have a shop lined up. This points to you driving it with a mismatched or base tune. You'll blow poo poo up if you keep doing that. You need to get a wideband and datalogging setup going immediately.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. I'd want to know what AFR and fuel pressure are doing.

Fallows posted:

It makes the same boost in all gears(10 lbs) just when it makes it for more than a few seconds it feels like its dumping all the air somewhere and it just hesitates for a quarter second and doesnt want to go any more. Stutter was a bad word. The AFR when it is doing this is at 10. I do not have any engine managment yet, I want to do hondata though maybe I need to do it sooner than I think. The p28 ecu that came with the car was chipped and tuned for a smaller turbo and different wastegate set up and different fuel set up as well.

I will reply to the longer post when im back later.

I got boost, AFR, fuel pressure and oil gauges.

Fuel pressure sits between 60-80 at all RPM and AFR sits between 15-10 at all RPM in all gears.

Gauges are for spot checks. Things happen way too fast that you can't really capture while also driving simultaneously. You need logs and data. Sounds like what HW said, super rich and it needs tuned badly, at minimum. Might be boost leaks and other issues as well.

Ok I've got some more questions.

Rear disc delete? What's that.

Every post is more interesting than the last.


Fallows posted:

Yea it never goes above 15-16afr since I hardwired the fuel pump into the alternator with a relay. I do not have a way to lower fuel pressure currently, I only have a gauge indicator. My injectors are 550cc with a golden eagle fuel rail.


I know gently caress all about hondas but don't most NA engines with added turbos need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to get rising fuel pressure with added boost? Sounds like you need a different spring in the wastegate also so your baseline is 5-6 psi maybe. Then up it from there with tuning. Are you doing any compensation with the ECU for the injectors? Really need to get all that dialed in as a baseline before you bother tuning it. What is the AFR on a decel, foot off the gas? I would assume you'd go into fuel cutoff and it would peg the gauge lean (20+).

I know a guy that just made 4 sturdy wooden boxes and left the tires on to align it. You could shim them however much from whatever side you need and then use trash bags or thin greased metal plates on the top to let them slide as you make changes. No idea if this is better or worse than any of your options but it's an idea. :)
