what thermostat/fanswitch ? what tyre psi ? toe/alignment ok ? fuel filter clear? etc etc.
stop procrastinating lol

lol then heres the stats if something can be figured out from it but I already know what your gonna say :p wanna help me pull my engine apart? I'm a bit iffy about actually starting it myself :(

Thermostat: Low temp
Fan switch: Buddy Club (Low Temp)
Tyre PSI: 38psi @ 205/50/15
Toe: 0F/0R
Camber: -1.5F/-1R
Fuel Filter: Changed 10k km ago...

vinnY: i haaaaAAAAaaate you!!! :p jkz.. the BC3+ better be good!! lemme know when you get em in.


***EDIT***
actually hang on.. whose this "Dan's Data" fellow supposed to be?

just some opinionated geek which seems to know his stuff
been reading his letters for years and never fails to entertain

not that it benefits me in anyway but then i should ask since i've already 'invested' in them... would I be doing the community a favour by doing a controlled fuel test say over 3months as well as back to back dyno same day?

you can if you want to
won't beat a bigger block though :p

Do you know what temperature do the thermostat and fan switch activate at? If your coolant stays cool, then the engine is probably thinking that it is still cold and applies the EFI equivalent of auto-choke.

read that somewhere... cluster gauge has it sitting in the same spot as stock but but thermo opens at 85°C and buddy club fan switch i think activates at i think 72°C.

Better than the other way around i think since the thermo regulates the engine temp anyways. I got the low temp stuff in anticipation of at least 11:1CR and running a bit leaner for when i get tuned which still hasn't happened more than 6mths later :/

your car will still be in warm up mode man. that's why your chewin the juice.

so thermo out? and fan switch = ok?

yeah i think so.

just be careful that your fan won't be on 100% of the time.

both out ron

this is going a bit off topic but ah well,

my stockish calibration has got coolant temp corrections of like +20% fuel open loop,high load at up to 76 degrees C,so id say that would be fairly similar with the stock honda calibration.

also on these cold nights,my temp gauge with sender mounted in top radiator hose is seeing up to 13 degC less then actual coolant temp according to the ECT,prob due to cold air flow over the sender unit.So do your readings on a warm day if reading off a gauge.
