I did, and i wasnt overly impressed with the kit either. What could of been quite a nice setup is marred by a few silly things.
The high tensile cap bolts supplied arent the same thread as the hub :S
The brake pipes are about 100% too long.
I have no idea why the brake pipe unions are...
high compression engines can detonate simply though high temp increases as air warms up as you compress it.
I'd need the valves and bare head as a minimum.
No moving air for 45 mins, high temps, stressing your cooling system.....bit poo.
Your AFR, if correct is massively rich.
As for the faults, the lambda might need replacing, and the knock sensor might be because your intake temps were too high and you had a slight issue with knocking or...
But if you mearure in the corner of one bolt top to the flat of another, then you could be a few mm off anyway.
If you want to do it accurately take out the bolts, measure the total size from the top of the upper hole to the bottom of the lower hole, then minus the size of the hole.
Detonation is not pinking, nor is it pre/auto-ignition or knock, they are all different phenomenons.
Pinking is slightly advanced ignition and the 'pink' noise you hear is the piston rattling as it goes over tdc.
Knock are 2 flame fronts colliding.
det is the pre-combustion of end...
Not really.
I didnt say they didnt make more power, i simply said they dont make more power because they burn faster, as they dont. You can make more power because you can start the ignition point at a more beneficial amount of advace to ensure that peak cylinder pressure corresponds with...
Higher octane fuels,whist they dont burn slower, go through pre-flame changes slower than lower octane fuels. So overall time is a slower burn, hence more ignition advance and reduced knock sensitivity. They do not make more power because they burn faster.
Technically VTEC changes cam lobe, so is not really 'coming on cam' which is an old skool term to refer to the phenomenon where engine efficiency suddently takes a rise as port velocities increase.
If you ran on the high cam lobe on vtec only, then the point at where it all of a sudden came...
No, its technically poinltess to do just a single stage kick since its of a set advance amount. By the time you run a cam thats wild enough to make use of a later phasing point, the stock management system would not be able to cope too well. And anybody should be running bodies and standalone by...
Oh, it is a good oil, dont get me wrong.
And where do you think GDI heard of it, digging up the depths of tribologists annual?
Opie oils pushed silkolene hard, and alot of people use it as its fantastically cheap at trade prices, profit margins are in the region of £10-15 per service...
Cooler temps are always good as turbos heat up air something wonderful, the lower you start off, the less heat your charge cooler has to dump. And keeping air temps at or as close too 40 deg which is the temp that det really starts to come a cropping, is important.
Filter solution wise...
