this whole post i have no clue what dave is saying...each post he contradicts himself...and its confusing the shit out of me.

like this post:
tell ur buddy to sell his mugen ecu, i hear they are very good compared to other ecu reprograms...dont get me wrong tho i love mugen just not there ecu's....

Id like to see time slips for this too

Did I miss the part where he told us what chassis this motor is in?

I'm guessing full interior DC4 with 15inch subs. :loco:

Also, get some real tuning done to it, I'm sure it will help a bunch.

ok sorry =\

about the mugen post what i was saying is that i like mugen parts but i read an article about a mugen ecu vs. a jun ecu and they said the mugen ecu didnt provide any horsepower gains...and the jun ecu provided good hp gains..

the engine is in a 94 civic hatchback (dx?) completey gutted except for ; dash, front door panels, racing seat, passenger prelude seat

we rasied the car up and it runs 14.8's all day long...it sits on tein ha coilovers...

the skunk2 ecu is from a built b16a engine...which had mostly itr components..hence thats where we got the itr parts that are listed above...

what i am wondering IS...why isnt this setup running better times than 14.8's...I WAS under the impression stock ls vtecs run low 14's !? with the mods listed above wouldnt it hit 14 flat or low 13's!??!

the sk2 cam gears are set like this...intake : advanced - exhaust: retarded...i am not sure exactly what we have them set at...but im pretty sure they are set correctley...

yes we could go get the car tuned...but why not learn how to do it all yourself...its not like we know nothing about cars...we know a good bit but are not experts by any means...

any help is appreciated and i am sorry if i dissed anyone, i just misred your post...txhatch sorry i thought your tagline was saying we had a d series motor, heh =\ my bad

i hope this clears things up some...

why do u want to see a 14.8 time slip for a ls vtec ? its not a great time...

thanks

I mean, even get it on the dyno to get diagnostic information out of it.... So you know what you're working with.

Any CELs?

You HAVE to get it dyno tuned it you expect to hit the numbers other DYNO TUNED cars are getting...
