Ya my friend said it was a bitch to drive in traffic bc he also has a lightened flywheel so it sounds like ur racing everytime u start moving bc of the fast revs. But honestly I think these are just miner things to adjust to.

BTW all videos posted. ENJOY!!!!!

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 06:16 PM

was it an auto on the dyno??

ronaldo9 09-12-2006 06:41 PM

No he's got a manual.

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 06:45 PM

hmmm!

What # were put down???

Do you know???

ronaldo9 09-12-2006 06:50 PM

He told me he put down 130whp, but said I could def put down 140 with a good tune since I'll have higher compression with the EX bc he has a LX with an EX head.

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 06:52 PM

hmmmm!

If I hit 130 - 140 mark

Wheel HP!!!

I am good!!!

we shall see. Ill probily get the cam late DEC or early JAN...

ronaldo9 09-12-2006 06:56 PM

Ya I'm shooting for 140 but we'll see. High aspirations but nobody has yet to do this so I like the challenge. I have the cam but still gathering stuff like the springs/retainers and emanage.

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 06:57 PM

Good luck too you sir!!!^

_unclejuice 09-12-2006 07:05 PM

then my goal is 150 all motor

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 07:11 PM

Shit people are hitting that with turbo's...

Id love to see one of "us" (N/A EM2 Crew)

Hit the 150 mark!!!

Shit would be insane!!!

_unclejuice 09-12-2006 07:15 PM

maybe i better go bigger than 75mm slugs

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 07:19 PM

lol^

maybe...

_unclejuice 09-12-2006 07:24 PM

im gonna have to hit the dyno sometime this week and see where im at now. i know im lower than i was because i had to change my exhaust back to stock except for the axel back portion because i failed emissions

ronaldo9 09-12-2006 07:28 PM

Bottom line is that we all should make more than 130whp. We all def need to keep each other posted on our projects and status. I'm sure we will all have alot of learning to do to solve this idling issue.

02blackcivic 09-12-2006 07:40 PM

i know it says stage 3, full out race car, but if you tune it right, could you use it every day?
thanks guys

ronaldo9 09-12-2006 07:44 PM

I was told no bc you will COMPLETELY lose your bottom end bc all the power is up top. Plus I think the only way to drive with stage 3 is with EMS. There was a member here who used the stage 3 cam actually just search and you'll find it. Last I knew he swapped for a K series so I guess it wasn't making the power he wanted.

_unclejuice 09-12-2006 07:46 PM

i guess you could if you wanted. add an unsprung hub clutch to that daily driver too. just kidding, i didnt want the full race because it said ecu mods required, and im not getting emanage until i get my motor built. im just gonna run the stage 2 and vafc2 for now.

02BLKCIVIC 09-12-2006 08:18 PM

eh big no on the stage 3 question.

It was keezy who had the stage three.

02blackcivic 09-14-2006 09:42 AM

yea, thats waht i figured, il probly just save up for k swap, its not worth the 15-20 hp

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 09:52 AM

Good luck with the swap wish i could afford one lol.

02BLKCIVIC 09-14-2006 11:00 AM

Ditto!^

Hey ronaldo the car on the dyno,

did it have a VAFC2, EMS, or E mang...

or anything? Beter yet what mods did it have?

thanks.

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 11:12 AM

My friend has EMS but had loads of issues with it so he sent it back. AEM pretty much gave him the middle finger with fixing the issue so he went Emanage. He also said you CAN RUN VTEC engagement with emanage despite what ppl say. I just saw him this past weekend his car is sick.

Mods on dyno include...
Crower stage 2 cam + valve springs and retainer
Unorthodox pulleys
AEM 3 bolt cam gear
Emanage Blue
AEM UEgo wideband, EGR Gauge, aftermarket Tachometer
ACT stage 2 clutch and 7lb flywheel i believe
Has 17in rims and these HUGE BEAR Big BREAK KIT WITH 11'' ROTORS.
Nitrous kit as well....

He has alot more mods but these are the performance mods as I know of.

02BLKCIVIC 09-14-2006 11:50 AM

so he had E mang on the dyno.

Crazy, because he is still able adjust his ignition timing.

that’s good because I wont.

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 11:54 AM

He had to adjust the timing bc he was running nitrous so you won't have that problem if ur not spraying.

02BLKCIVIC 09-14-2006 11:56 AM

he didnt spray on the dyno did he?

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 12:06 PM

No he did not. If u want to view his full list of mods check out his profile or just PM him. He's really cool I met him on this forum actually. His profile name is nokturnl. He's done a lot of threads talking about the cam so just search I'm sure all ur questions will be answered.

02BLKCIVIC 09-14-2006 12:16 PM

I know how he is...

Iv folowed his posts...

I just missed the dyno post he made...

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 12:53 PM

How's the VAFC II working for you I'm still up in the air for what I want to use but I think I'll just end up getting EManage since its roughly the same price and there's more tunability if thats a word.

02BLKCIVIC 09-14-2006 01:28 PM

lol if I buy EMS ill go turbo.

That pisses me off!!!

I love it now. I mess with it like every day,

Its nice to have something to interact with in you car.

ronaldo9 09-14-2006 01:37 PM

Does it ruin ur driveability I mean i'd be scared to play with it bc I might be running to lean or rich, but i guess you are good at street tuning. Do you have a wideband?
