I ask because I am trying to get an idea of what your VE looks like. You may have a restriction somewhere.. or it could be something else entirely.

Any clue as to redline/lambda/timing/compression?

What I know is the TSX cam gear can not go past 25 degrees and I need to swap a Si or Type-S cam gear that can go up to 50 degrees. My redline is 7,000rpm or some thing very close to that and my compression is going to be what ever the stock TSX engine is.

That is about all I know, any thing else I am going to have to just give you a good old fashion shoulder shrug. Don't get me wrong I have learned a lot over the years but there is still a lot I don't under stand about engines and tuning.

i ran into same problem, i only made 195 on same motor same setup, the cam gear will help, in the all motor game, cams is what makes and breaks your goal. allso intake and header play a big part to, bigger injectors will help, it all really depends on what your goal is, peak tq and hp arent allways as important as how you make power threw the whole rpm range, if e85 is available in your area, that will help you net better gains to but less mpg tho and will need to upgrade to atleast 1,000 cc injectors.

Soooooooo some update my tune today

Very disappointing are the first two words that came to my mind

Because my ivtec pump isn't working properly
-if I retard alittle ... It would automatically jump to max retard
-if I advance alittle .. It would automatically jump to max advance
So weren't able to adjust the vtech

The end results
16psi I was only making 367whp

The worst part is........ I have to take the motor out to fix it due to limited space !!

Everybody knows that you never go Full Retard!

Lol i had to add the whole quote because its just that funny

==========================
Kirk Lazarus: Everybody knows you never go full retard.

Tugg Speedman: What do you mean?

Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...
==========================

speaking of limited space..

okay guys, now that the motor is installed my PS rack is like 1mm away from the motor... is this correct? will it hit ? i think it will... the left side of the motor (pully side/ crank) clears the frame rail slightly, like 4mm. is there a trick to adjusting this? help? do i need to do something???

Custom hybrid racing shifter to Honda fit did this today. I'm Rino lining it now to match the shifter.

No modification was done to the shifter nor chassis. Simply a bolt on bracket (use existing oem Honda bolt holes and hardware.)





More to come here shortly after primer dries.
