The B16 X19 Completed. ok no car is ever complete.

Its been while. I have to say it i for good reasons. Last spring when I went o start driving for the season, The car started up and ran great! I am running hondata that went in without a hitch. The miss at vtec actually still there but the Datalogging pointed out where the issue was. Kinda.. First I disabled vtec in order to get the tuning started. the miss was still there. So it isnt a vtec issue but an RPM issue. I started looking at injector dead times. I altered them a little and the miss went away.

I dont remember wher eI left this blog as far as the overheating issue, but that has been soled as well be re-routing how the cooling system works. I have to manually trigger the cooling fan if I sit in traffic because I havent rewired that circuit from hondata yet. But it sits about 178-184 99.9999% of the time. I manually hit the fan in the upper 180’s.

The car isnt stupid fast, but it is pretty quick. I am running the LS transmission so the gearing isnt really for crazy fast anyway. but getting over 37 MPG average driving to work. 75% freeway. Here is a soft 1-3rd pull

I had another issue with the Fuel pump stopping. Looks like I didnt do research right and a 5 amp fuse was WAY too small.

I reconfigured the cable shift as well. it works awesome. Smooth and precise.

Thats all for now, just wanted to update. Still contemplating the B20 vtec vs Turbo b16. but that is a different story.
