Who did the port and polish work?

 

Angela's friend David over in Rockledge. The work is very nice. I had Neal reassemble the head and I heard he was quite impressed with the job done on it.

 

Thankfully he took down that picture of that chic from his sig.

If tuned correctly, shouldn't waste anything.

 

1) chic is pretty hot ... I'd make her sqeal but thats a different story.
2) correct on teh gas milege ... but I've been dogging the shit out of this motor. I love teh powa!!

I tried many cam timing variations on the dyno with no success.

Syncing the ignition timing to the dizzy/ecu was not fun to do w/out the lower plastics installed.

I tried +2, +2, | -2, -2, | +4, +2, | -4, -1, | 0, 0 | -1, -1, | +1, +1 | 0, +2 | 0, -2
I can't remember what else :-/

Anyhow, the setup was only pulling around 17 inches of vac at idle for the most part which is not a good indicator. I instructed Jason to perform a leakdown & compression test. I also instructed him to install lower timing covers for future purposes.

I would have take a shot in the dark & say its a leak down issue :-/

Regardless, Jason is a good guy & I hope its a simple fix.

 

Yea, I'll install it and get in touch as soon as I get more funds for dyno time. I'm confident this setup should get what I'm hoping for ... but it being my first build, I might have done something incorrectly. Costly? Yea, but thats how you learn I suppose. Thanks.

 

It isn't uncommon for B's to pull low vacuum depending on cam setting. I'd definitely say run a leakdown test.

 

damn john, thats two motors now

Mine was my own fault

 

when i had toda Bs in my crx i had the cam gears at +2 -2 and vtec at 5900 and it ran its best with that i didnt get numbers on it because i just tuned it on a wideband to 14.3a/f
