Tuning help...........

[GsrCrx]

Hey whats up ef people, well as some of you may know i am having problems with my car but as soon as i get it fixed i have to go tune it, well i have to decide who is gonna tune it and how much psi, and im preety sure some of you know alot about this, well the bottom end is a d16z6 with low compression rods and pistons, acl bearings, the head is a vtec d15b, valves and retainers, i have a aem fuel rain, fuel pressure regulator, 550 cc injectors, walbro pump, pr3 ecu, t25 tubo, and a vafc, do u know what i could push it to on psi and around how much hp would it make once i tune it???? thanks...

[Black R]

i wouldn't push it at all until you tune it.

and for tuning i'd go with scottydb411, just contact him here on this board or at www.digitalboxtuning.com

he's local and does a lot of work at mainstream.

[Halfwit]

12 psi.

[GsrCrx]

so 12 psi is the most the morot could take or could it take more if i decide to go up for a pull or two???

[Halfwit]

12 psi would be fun but safe.

but 16 would be powerful without being harmful (since u have pistons and rods) but i wouldnt try higher than that, or do 16 much (weekends)

[GsrCrx]

oh ok, hey man werent you the one that was building the sohc turbo at mainstream????

[Halfwit]

mainstream is the shop it was built at, never ran for more than a day though. keeps breaking. broke now.

[GsrCrx]

damn man, that sucks, i know how that shit feels, but what happened bro???

[Halfwit]

1: blew up block @ 18 psi
2:was given car with broken tps sensor (ran like shit, then wouldnt run at all)
3: turbo go boom.

3 different times. i think i need to scrap the d series alltogether

[GsrCrx]

damn man, u blew it at 18 psi? did u have more parts than me? and what was ur setup????

[Halfwit]

cp pistons/ eagle rods
y8 vtec head
ls tb
560 injectors 255 pump.

[GsrCrx]

damn, so basically the same setup??? what did u make at the dyno???

[Halfwit]

286whp.

[GsrCrx]

damn man, thats preety good, i hope i can get somewhere i up there.............

[Halfwit]

no good if i never drive it. its been 11 months now.

[GsrCrx]

damn man that sucks, i think mine is worse, i blew a boosted zc on a pull 7 months ago, and since then i been building this motor, now that its on, it wont run..........

[Halfwit]

i didnt get to even drive mine, blew at shop.

[GsrCrx]

damn man, why did it blow??? what did they do???

[Halfwit]

just old block maybe.

[GsrCrx]

damn man, did they pay for anything???

[Halfwit]

they took care of it. good thing about d series, easy to come by.

[GsrCrx]

yea man, so overall around how much money have you put on the d series???

[Halfwit]

pmed.

the number is soo big, it doesnt fit in this box.

[GsrCrx]

lol, hell yea man, i went d series thinking it was gonna be cheap, but hell nah, lol

[Kyle]

pmed.

the number is soo big, it doesnt fit in this box.

I want to see this number and also pm the status of the EF.

[GsrCrx]

jajaja its funny, we have the same setup and we basically have spent the same amount of money on it, and both of our cars are still fucked up, lol

[KevinT707]

D-Series FTL, whats up homie remember me right?

So the ZC-Turbo you pulled me on N/A is blown now huh? It was quick while it lasted even though it was untuned. It had to be making 200 WHP or so HUH? With a small turbo, cause I remember you'd either stop pulling top end and you'd just stay 1-2 cars ahead of me .. Ah the good days, good racing on the streets, no more street racing for me though

[GsrCrx]

hell yea man, what up kevin, but yea its blown, and yea man, it was makin 207 whp at 7 psi.........

[Halfwit]

i talked to you at a mspi dyno day.

may not have been you, the pwerson said it was his friends car...

[GsrCrx]

oh yea, that was my homeboy, car was running like shitt, lol

[Formally...]

Hey Gsrcrx, as far as your setup goes, I would think about getting rid of the Vafc and get a chipped ecu or convert to OBD1. It is hard to run that big of an injector on a piggyback. Also, if you are running a T25 then it depends on the specs of the turbo as to how much boost you can run. I would also get a 3 bar map so the ecu can see the correct boost since the stock map can only go up to about 12psi.

As far as Halfwits, the first block was machined too tight and I did not double check what the machine shop did. I will admit that I trusted their work and did not check the piston to wall clearance. You could see the scaring on the sides of the pistons from them touching the cylinder walls. We will be putting his back together this week. We changed the design of his manifold to see if we could get some more power out of it.

We will also be finishing the tuning on another D16z6 this week that already made 300whp on just 13psi. This one was done by a different machine shop.

[GsrCrx]

ok, thanks, could you give me an estimate on price to convert to obd 1 and tune????

[KevinT707]

.. Then perhaps we can get a run in, since Halfwit is taking 2 years

[GsrCrx]

damn kevin u stay trying to run, lol, u gonna have to spray though, lol

[Halfwit]

.. Then perhaps we can get a run in, since Halfwit is taking 2 years

Yeah you're right .. I don't or at least try not to race on the streets anymore, I haven't in a long time

WHEN your car runs I might think differently though

[Halfwit]

youll be racing a heavy ef hatch though, the crx shell is gone.

[KevinT707]
