if u dont mind...............me asking........what was the prob????????

[03DC5R]

just a little update...no one seems to know exactly whats wrong with the engine. we've narrowed it down to one or any of the following:
1. oil pump
2. chain tensioner
3. faulty camshafts

will get the oil pressure tested out on tuesday, so that will narrow it down. if oil pressure is all good, then we'll pull out the cams and the chain and the tensioner and inspect what exactly is going on there. i guess these things happen when you start doing real mods to you engine...its all part of the fun

anyway, just thought i'd post up the dyno results from when it was running nicely lol:

before cams:





after cams:

omg congrats man thats crazy!

[ievaq8]

what mods did you do??????

[03DC5R]

well, other than i/h/e/ecu, i did the following:

rbc IM/hondata IM gasket
supertech valve springs/supertech retainers
toda spec c camshafts
toda chain tensioner

oh, and on a side note, i still have the stock T/B which proves that a bigger t/b without an extensive engine build is useless (on k series anyway)

nice graphs!!!!

[03DC5R]

thanks bud.

just a quick question question for all you wheel whores out there, would these wheels fit with out mods to my guards/fenders:

17x8.5", +31 offset. 225/45/r17
17x8.5", +37 offset. 235/45/r17 ??

[ChargeR]

Put the 235s on the +31s and run them at the front and then the 225s on the +37s might just scrape by at the rear. If your car is lowered and you have reduced the amount of negative camber then you will probably need to roll.

thanks mate

[Zakarados]

Nice numbers dude!!!! thexy!

[03DC5R]

thanks dude.

well, after doing oil pressure test and replacing the vtc solonoid, the rattle is still there. we are now 100% sure its faulty camshafts. im very dissapointed as these spec c's were bought from a member on these forums and now that member has changed his number and is avoiding getting in touch with me

[mattyd]

hey man, what is the rattle like?

is it a low rpm/ idle rattle and goes away as soon as you get to about 2000 - 25000 rpm?

[Talos]

no way!!! when are you pulling them out to check them? and whos doing it?

[mattyd]

oh and another question, what size exhaust are you running?
