Default 2.3vtec OMG!!

this thing is amazing. and i haven't really even pushed it. after work 4am saturday morning i went straight to DE to pick up the cherry picker, got home around 9am and went straight to work. by 4 o'clock i had the motor in and running.

i coated the cylinders with 20/50 oil and this in turn coated my o2 sensor pretty bad. tripped an MIL and she went full lean in closed loop. i wasn't sure what to do cause i know its not to be touched, but i pulled the sensor and wiped it a little. after a couple cycles the MIL went away and normal variations in a/f came back. oh and 20psi of oil pressure at an 850rpm idle.

anywho, on initial test drive i had a little miss, but nothing really bad. i just bought a cap and rotor today, which i'll put on after this post. after i put about 30 miles on her (yea yea, i know, my godson was being born so i had to go) i pushed a lil harder on her. from a cruise in 1st gear @ 2k i punched it till about 6k...she was chirpin bad the whole way up. needless to say i had a big ass grin on my face. but then again my tires are wasting. heh

anywho, im looking to get her on the dyno in the next couple weeks. i need an aem fuel rail so if you're selling hit me up.

i also had a lil 4k+ grind in 3rd gear. i took the tranny apart and grinded the teeth on the 3/4 syncro and 1/2. no more grind

at 149, 515 miles she was once again reborn. yo after 2 months im so happy to get in this car again and go. i am one happy ass prelude owner. now lets hope she gives me nice dyno numbers and lasts.
