2nd gear and 3rd you should pull away from him like mad.

 

not really.. third gear for k20a's is one of thier strongest gears.. Even stock for stock.. against and 8 they area drivers race..

I swear i couldnt believe what he had! just headers and a intake!

1st i pull him like mad second gear he starts pulling and when he switched gear and that V-tec kicks in hes gone..

dont underestimate those little cars..

thier hondata flashed do miracles with bolt ons on k20a's.. for our cars its like 5 hp

 

id say his little SI is probably as fast or faster than srt4.. those srt's dont leave me to far behind.. im pretty close to them

 

modded (i/h/e and kpro)the k20 is good for 235 whp NA....

 

i just installed the cobb ap, and as i was looking at the STFT, it just stays at -0, and never changes, i tried the other map, v1.1b, same thing never changes!
what is wrong??

 

I have the AP manager installed with WINE on ubuntu (32 bit version... have a core 2 duo chip but the 64 bit version gains are so minimal its not worth the hassle)

 

never did underestimate them. i have driven a coupe RSX-S's and my buddy has a S2K. fast, but i am par with the S2K. i smoke the type -S.

hondata has been tuning honda's for a lot longer than our 8's have even been out. they know what they are doing

thats good. that means that you dont have to go to any other trim maps. what the 0 means is that the PCM doesnt have to add or subtract anymore fuel other than what the map says.

 

Stage 3...is good enough (if you've done your homework and setup right) to punk a new 350z pretty hard until you shift past 3rd...then its all over...

I hate our trans...

 

me too.

 

That doesn't sound very good. My friend is an expperienced drag racer and his 2008 Mustang GT 5 speed (Currently stock) barely beat me before the Cobb AP tune and the Mazsport ignition. He is afraid that I will beat him now that I have the ignition and next week will have Cobb AP. He got me by about 3 cars from a 40-115 mph. At the track he ran a 13.60 @ 103 mph.

Cobb can add 10-15 rwhp and the Ignition adds 8-10, so with up to 25 more rwhp he will be in trouble

I will dyno after I get my car setup right with the Cobb. I can compare the two upgrades to my old exhaust and K&N drop in dyno.

 

but itz still at -0 when i try v1.1b map. something is not right, the STFT number never changed.
my car stalls a few times after i let go of the gas suddenly and go to neutral. and my car back fires a lot, almost every gear, and itz freaking loud too.

i dont know, im gonna try another map, any input is good
thanks

 

^ I'd un-install and then re-install. You should see the STFT jumping around all over the place when you first start it up after the initial install.

 

Mine Backfires too, I had thought that was normal? But only a wot shifting quickly through gears.

 

Why do you want to remove the Power Pulley? Flywheel add much to performance?

 

i tried reinstalling it, no luck. still cant read the the STFT!!!
mine backfires only when im not in boost driving normally, not when im in boost. and my car still stalls when im driving and putting it to neutral.
i dont know what is wrong

 

You have a turbo, what intake do you have?

 

doesn't matter what intake, the stft should have a reading after 10 secs or so

 

just the Greddy intake

 

If the car is cold the STFT won't move for about 30 sec after a reflash. The car is in open loop and is not accepting input from any of the sensors. Therefore it won't learn until it goes into closed loop.

 

dont know whatz wrong, it can read all the other things read fine, the AFR is kinda off tho.
and yea, i just unplug the int-x before i install the cobb.
i basically just have to take off the 5 plugs that pluged into the int-x and plug it back to the stock ECU right?

 

if you have the scangauge2, or a data logger, you can see if it's in open or closed loop.

 

Have you tried cleaning the MAF sensor?

 

how can i bring it back to the close loop?

 

thatz for the STFT or for the backfire?
