12.2:1 H23vtec / stock head

12.2:1 RMF narrow 3\" exhaust EuroR IM RDX injectors (55psi) AEM CAI with BPi flowstack s2000 throttle body COMPLETELY stock h22a head I am SOOOO glad i learned how to read the spark plugs. Before i even get into it, i want to thank Chris. You opened up a whole new world for me tuning wise by your post on reading plugs. My power jumped dramatically by adjusting the individual cylinder trims and then adding timing to the maps. I was short on money and ran out of time before i could keep fine tuning. You can tell there is some more to be gotten out of it by the random peaks of power. There was just so much to do with such little time. everything about the ignition maps changed once i started doing cylinder trims and its just amazing how much that effects the efficiency. I ended up pulling 3.5* from cylinder 3 and 3* from cylinder 4 and .5* from cylinder 2. Each time i made a correction with that and made a run, the power dropped and got choppy automatically making me think \"add\". If i had more time to do that through the RPM range, i believe i could fix many of the dips.

Crome fully tuned vs. eCtune partially tuned

Wich color is what?

red = eCtune blue = crome

eCtune > CROME... Even I figured that one out *snickers*

Looks good man, glad the timing stuff worked well for you.

thanks Chris, it really does bring a whole new meaning to tuning. Its nice having a tattletale

haha, dude so many ppl have helped me and told me little secrets and ansered my somtimes dumb questions and what not, I have no problems sharing with other tuners.

I have been searching for that \"timing post from Chris\" but I can't find it. Can somebedy help me find it? Thanks a lot in advance.

Those are really good number for n/a, especially that much torque! I just need some clarifications if I may. I myself am trying to tune individual cylinders on my jrsc integra type r. I did a good 3rd gear pull, but the timing marks were not clear at all, couldn't notice any type of marks. There were some variations in spark plug color, that's as close as I got to timing marks. Cylinder 3 also had a white layer of residue.???????????

Put a new set of plugs in then check.

stock cams too

. New dyno chart should be here tomorrow after i put the ported head on. The color change IS the mark. The ground strap is heated through conduction resulting from the combustion heat. The hottest part of the plug is the tip of the ground strap. The hotter that ground strap gets, the closer the color change will be towards the base of the plug. heres the link to the post by chris http://bbmoto.net/wiki/index.php?ReadingSparkPlugs the white residue is the result of gas with a mixture of a small percentage of ethanol. Sometimes you will pull them out and not see any white residue and thats usually because you filled up at a station that had a very low ethanol content.
