Stock diff yes , but 5 speed JDM gearbox (same as RX7 box)

I managed to plot one of your runs against mine . If we go off the MAF yours is clearly superior in the 5000-6500 range .... mine is before that and then they are similar up top.

Piping could be a concern, some info from some honda fourms

I think after the max it becomes restrictive
2" piping

I measured the pipes, up pipe is 2.5" and down pipe is 3".

Brett, what spark plugs and gap are you running? I really want to get my BHR coil issue figured out. They obviously work for other people, not sure why I get better results with stock coils. I may try 9k's suggestion for stock trailing all around next.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

CFM will be in the high 700s and the first 2' odd of my turbo hot-side pipework is 2" per the stock Greddy kit so .............. ......yes definitely.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

I run the BUR9EQPs - not sure what gap they are .
Re the coils ... yeah it seems some have issues and others don't . Have dealt with a few people with those now and once all the obvious stuff has been tried .......... it has always boiled down to a faulty coil when there have been issues .

How is the water meth going?

logalinipoo

There is a pressure variant to that also.

Just fitted the water pressure switch (thanks Logalini) to activate the "all good" light for the W/M . Will be more confident about playing with timing with that in place so will look at if there is anything to gain there .

any updates?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Did a 0-100mph log the other day . 11.25s on my first try . Under 11 looks like it's very doable with a better launch and faster gear changes.

Brettus

468kms from 56 litres (19.4MPG)
Hamilton to Tauranga (over the Kaimais) and back plus Hamilton to Auckland and back

Might not seem that stunning for US readers but these are not flat straight roads, plus about 50kms of this was giving it a hard time in boost.

The most i ever got from a tank previous to this was 500kms from Wellington to Hamilton when NA at the speed limit the whole way.

What PSI are you running now ?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

16-17psi peaking at just over 18

Rotary_Redliner

Sorry for asking that again... I just read back a few pages.

Soooo it looks like we have similar setups... I have some porting work done, and you have an upgraded fuel pump. You are also running W/M correct ?

My car is running pretty comfortably peaking around 14psi. Just wondering if I can get to where you are at ?

Edit: Maybe I could post a log for you to compare with ?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Yes .. started doing that once i went over 14psi

That would be great if you could post a log .

aftermarket apex seals and dowling does wonders

Yes, at the drag strip.

very good fuel consumption figures most NA cars will be happy with those numbers.

I usually get to 200km to half a tank in stop start driving to work situation. The average is around 15L/100km.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. I monitor every tank so I know it's improved since I did the mod a few posts back .
