please help me understand the ITB Honda issue

[tom91ita]

maybe that is what the CRB has in mind?

given that the car has a 62/38 front to rear weight bias and only has three wheels on the ground in the corners, then it only weighs 1725 #'s?

and then you average that weight 20% of the time for a curvy track and 80% at the 2130, that means my average weight must be about 2049 #'s.

that is pretty much the 100 #'s i was hoping for! never mind....

The D16A6 has a 149HP potential in IT trim?

I sure as hell hope not.. don't see it happen legally.. or altest within the intent of the rules.

at the crank, probably something close to that.

though my last few D16a6 builds have been far from 10/10ths builds. They were putting down 130-140 to the wheels, however these motors were 12:1 compression, decent cams, etc..

why yes it was.. just built a new motor, now having ignition issues.. we keep buring up coils/ignitors.. nothing has chaged then all of a sudden... issues. Looks like we maybe going a different route. Hoping to be back on track februaryish.

Yep. You'd want to target around 130whp out of a D16A6 (which is at the upper end of achievable).

Is that an OBD0 or OBD1 Hondata?

Just been notified it is sale pending.. and if you were planning on putting it on your blue civic it would require that you run a different distributor.

Steve,

I'd look into the new-est version of AEM ECU.

You could switch to the distributor-less ignition with coil packs. Which makes things much less of a head ache in the world of tuning these types of motors, esp now that Honda discontinued OBDI and older distributors.

Christian,

If you are interested i have a friend who works at AEM, and is vary familiar with the OBD0 crx/EF stuff. Le tme know if you want his email.


Note- not a shill/sponsored by the company, i run hondata. Just there new offerings are really good, and at really good prices.
