haha Dragon - i like her attitude ;) !!

I have something against Honda Civics - man those cars just have a way of rubbing me up the wrong way - they think with the clear taillights, neons and tonnes of stickers they can beat u - yet they get chopped everytime haha

They whinge and whinge about not having somewhere to meet and catch up on thursday nights mainly and that they keep getting hassled where every they go, and Andrew and I have decided to get off our arses and do something about it and organise a carpark to have our meetings in and this weekend is a tiral run of it, and no ones attending. Cept like 10 skyline people from here.

man in WA everyone is real eager for a cruise!! we've been having secret cruises so we only get a few cars and not like our normal 40 odd which attracts tonnes of police attention!! Its so annoying when u go outta ur way to do something then its not appreciated!!

off topic but my cat has really missed me while ive been away - shes curled up on my lap now haha my lil hot water bottle ;)

yeah i love my cat too - i had to leave her outside for four days while i was away tho cos no one was home to let her out when she needed the loo. it broke my heart cos she normally sleeps on my bed all day and she had to sleep in the cold - but she survived ;) shes even gotten fatter!!

my cat used to be real fiesty n independant (shes a tortiseshell apparently thats their personality) now all she does is sleep all day and if shes on my lap and i go to move she digs her claws in - the more i move the deeper the claws go!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
