B00stedsi B00stedsi Newbie Registered: 10/24/07 Posts: 59 Loc: SRQ	what timing are you guys using. I was 2 degrees retarded, and my 2 and 3 pistons cracked the 1st ringlands.Not from detonation.A/F was 11.2.Im running wisecos.thanks Edited by SiAdam (03/12/08 07:36 PM) _________________________ wisco pistons9:1/eagle I rods/stock crank/.57 trim/skunk 2 cams springs and retainers/ferraa valves/exedy clutch/750cc/hondata s300

SamuraiSam SamuraiSam Post Master Sr Registered: 07/29/02 Posts: 8828 Loc: Bellingham, WA	2 degrees retarded of what? Post up your timing map from whatever standalone you are using. Ignition timing generally decreases with load and increases with piston speed / engine RPM due to the time it takes for the flame front to propagate. The correct timing at each load point and engine speed for your particular engine setup can only be determined by either extensive track and street datalogging with knock detection and EGT probes or with a simple 2-3 hour load-brake dynometer session. _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

B00stedsi B00stedsi Newbie Registered: 10/24/07 Posts: 59 Loc: SRQ	Pistons 1 and 4 are perfect. and piston 3 closed the gap on my spark plug.So larger injectors it is.I see 1000cc are popular for my application.So which one. RC, Precisions, or a better option? _________________________ wisco pistons9:1/eagle I rods/stock crank/.57 trim/skunk 2 cams springs and retainers/ferraa valves/exedy clutch/750cc/hondata s300

SamuraiSam SamuraiSam Post Master Sr Registered: 07/29/02 Posts: 8828 Loc: Bellingham, WA	What kind of injectors are you running now and why do you think that you need to get different ones? What kind of problems are you running into? What is the maximum duty cycle that you hit? What kind of fuel pressure are you running? Why aren't you answering our questions (whose information would help us help you)? What do you mean by "piston 3 closed the gap on my spark plug"? _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

SamuraiSam SamuraiSam Post Master Sr Registered: 07/29/02 Posts: 8828 Loc: Bellingham, WA	........... Wow. We have an FAQ. Read it. Have you ever heard of a standalone? Read these 2 sentences over ten thousand times. "Take off your Apexi AFC and throw it in the garbage. Take off your rising rate FPR and throw it in the garbage." Get a standalone and your motor won't blow up. You don't have a timing map. "The only thing the AFC can fine tune is how much more detonation you want." - SteveShadows _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

I'm pretty sure that every question you have EVER asked in Got Boost is answered in the FAQ. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you need to educate yourself. If you can't educate yourself, then your only other option is to go to a shop and hand them your wallet. Its very very obvious that you haven't done this because you had a built motor and stock injectors and no standalone. You need to either do some serious research YOURSELF and learn a LOT MORE about how EFI works and how to properly turbocharge a car, or you are going to throw thousands of dollars MORE away than you already have. For example, rough estimates for injector HP levels @ base fuel pressure are given in the FAQ. It's VERY EASY INFORMATION to find. _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

Research is key to reliable power. BTW leaning out your A/F is what causes detonation. Too lean of an air/fuel mixture will cause lean misfires at low load and high combustion chambers at medium and high load. It can cause knocking, but detonation (uncontrolled combustion, colliding flame fronts leading to super-high peak cylinder pressures) is usually caused by too much ignition timing advance. _________________________ Working and living the dream in post-prohibition Washington State

It can cause knocking, but detonation (uncontrolled combustion, colliding flame fronts leading to super-high peak cylinder pressures) is usually caused by too much ignition timing advance. Interesting to learn something new every day. I always thought that detonation was caused by the leaned out mixture detonating early because the mixture couldn't resist combustion because it was to lean. Thus leading to colliding flame fronts. Makes sense though that ignition timing would cause it seeing that the piston would be in the wrong spot during ignition. I'll have to re-read my Honda Books. Sorry if I gave out incorrect information. Edited by Toast (04/18/08 08:50 AM) _________________________

SiAdam SiAdam Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/22/01 Posts: 19269 Loc: WV	Toast, look into buying Corky Bell's Maxium Boost. Great book that explains alot of the theories behind turbocharging. Purchase it on amazon, eBay or your local book store. _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.
