lol I’m having the opposite issue. The ecu ISNT seeing enough knock signal. It’s actually like “yo. Wtf. Why we not hearing anything from the knock sensor? Throw code”. it’s the opposite problem. My car typically has a very very loud knock signal. Always noisy but now it’s very quiet. I can...

Messed around with the harness a bit. disconnected a few parts then reseated. also tested continuity from the ECU to the knock sensor and it is strong. no issues here. Plugged everything back in since i couldnt find any issues. Went for another test drive. Same route as last time. The check...

It doesn’t go into limp mode which is nice. Seems to drive fine

Keep getting a cel for knock sensor not working. Swapped the sensor. Went for a drive. Code came back after a while again. I checked continuity from ecu side harness, directly to the knock sensor. Continuity seems strong. Wiggled the harness around and still it was solid. I unplugged some...

Did my first wot log. Using last years stock engine tune this setup seems to make the exact same whp or even slightly higher. It’s 99f out here so it’s not cool. This is workable though. I can live with it lol. It feels good enough for the rest of this season anyways long as it holds together

This is a good idea. I’ve never used that product. Usually a trip to the track and giving the engine the beans really cleans it out. The oil I just drained was fresh on Friday. I put MAYBE 15 miles on it plus 30-40 min of idle time while bleeding the coolant. That oil came out black as hell...

On the civic you can see it in some of my videos. It’s just buries itself and just stays pegged at 9000 lol Took the car for a quick drive right now. It definitely works! It’s missing some power but past 5500rpm it’s not terrible actually. Better than expected. Had knock sensor code after my...

Love using the whole tach. It’s very satisfying when the needle stops but you’re still accelerating

350 wheel torque should be no problem on those rods. Besides, you don’t need retard torque when you have rpm. People still don’t know that lol edit: I should say you don’t need retard torque when you can carry that torque to any half decent rpm

600whp is probably doable if torque is kept in check. Even turbo k20’s don’t make much torque though lol not compared to the Mazdas anyways

BC offers titanium rods and so does Saenz but yea they’re dumb money and titanium is cycle limited so depending on mileage or hours you gotta time them out and replace. Maybe not a big deal for a race only car I guess. These are BC’s “light weight” rods. They also have a mid weight rod and...

They don’t look like much. Tiny little rods. Still rated at 200hp per hole though. I weighed each rod. They are bang on 388grams each. Impressive consistency. From what I’ve seen on YouTube Manley rods ship with 2+ grams weight difference per rod. The finish quality is really nice here too...

Rods have arrived. That was super quick. Big props to BC. They have earned some serious respect from me. I will definitely promote them to others. They even included a small tub of arp lube for assembly. Don’t nobody include arp lube. Usually you gotta reuse the shit that comes with your head...

:tearsofjoy:

BC shipped my rods. They’ll be here tomorrow apparently. That is some good customer service. They quoted me 2 weeks but it’s been like 5 days lol. I’ll have everything to assemble the bottom end now so that’s great

Oh that’s pretty gangster lol. Would 100% be unlimited class. Might be competitive. Maybe. Unlimited is like Porsche GT3 Rs and other super shit as well as full blown turbo race car civics making 800hp+. All on slicks of course

It sounds ok. I need a few more things here then we’ll go for a drive and see!

Well it’s alive. Smoking like crazy burning up all the oil and whatnot from the exploded engine. I got the coolant bled. Always a pain on K series but that’s done. It seems to idle OK? Threw a code for knock sensor. Hopefully it’s nothing but that sensor has been coated in crap twice now from...

Lmao. Yea seriously. It’s still plated and insured so street legal. If it starts and idles OK next up will be the backroads for a run through the gears

When I bought the car the engine was beat. 60% leak down in cylinders 2 and 3 but it actually ran great. It made no power but it ran fine and consumed no oil. If this ends up being like that then that’s fine. End of the season I’ll steal the head for my build and good enough. I’m gonna fire...
