How much PSI are the turbos gonna throw?
 
Hey you aren't running stock plugs are you? You probably want to go one or even two steps cooler on them. Integra/Civic guys like the plugs that came in the 92-95 civic HX for turbo builds.

Good call. FWIW the NGK FAQ on gapping suggests, roughly, reducing the gap 0.004" for every 50 HP gained from FI.

damn I thought about that and didn't do it I am running stock settings on my plugs and I just grabbed a set of NGK's, anyone recommend a gap setting?

Only time and tuning will tell, but my guess is enough :) to get the 12 psi I eventually want.
 
NGK OEM PLAT # - PZFR6F-11
My recommend # - PZFR8F-9

Digit #5 references the Heat rating of the plug. 8 is two steps colder than 6

Digit after the hyphen references gap setting. 11= .044 10= .040 9= .036 etc.

^ too late for that, but can someone tell me why it does not decelerate as fast as it should the idle sticks and it is not the TB itself seems more like a vacuum issue.
 
yes altho your not creating boost there still is extra air being forced into your motor and the way im seeing and how you have said is telling me your blowoff valve is not opening so the extra air is just continuing to flow into your motor..

I still have to get it to decelerate when the TB plate is closed though. I wounder if that air way that allows for a small amount of air to cross over the TB plate needs to be restricted more. I I have the idle adjusting screw screwed all the way in too and I am still around 850 rpms at idle. I do need to bleed the air out of the coolant and fix that one damn heater hose with the pinhole.

When I go back out there I think I will make sure I don't have a vacuum hose that goes from the intake directly to the manifold.

?? If this is the case it will destroy those turbos real quick.

Integra uses a vacuum operated dashpot diaphram to close throttle under decel.

She revs, she decelerates and she idles at 673, Killanna is almost ready to be tuned.

I also relocated the fan to the front side of the radiator but now I am going to have to go with a different tranny cooler. The current one will be up for grabs if anyone is interested.

From the sound of it I need to at least get a colder set of plugs but for preliminary tuning or at least getting the AFR down I will just go with what I have on hand.

Information is appreciated :D
It was really just some minor vacuum issues and yes I did turn down my timing, but I still have not had a chance to hit it with the timing gun. I also bled the air out of the coolant, still a bit more to go in that department. today I plan to bleed the clutch hook up the laptop and get some readings off of it so I can see what the FIC is telling me. This will allow me to see where the adjustments will begin.

Right now I am running a stock PY3-A04 ECU, my TII ECU is on loan and I sold my other one lol. the Neo is currently hooked up right now though too but it is not doing much. More on all this later as I learn :)
