The 30-1042 box was plug and play for the 91-94 NSX. No harnesses or add ons required. No rewire.

I usually apply the e-brake to assist during the uphill starts.

30k Mile update. Car recently went through a full build, motor built, trans rebuilt etc. I filled the motor mounts and one was sent to SOS because it was completely in 2 pieces. I half expected the clutch would need rebuild/replacement parts as well. During the build I mic'd the carbon...

Is there another email besides what is listed on Willmans website? I have emailed without response and called as well no answer.

Right off the bat the exapump does not have straight cut gears so he is flat out wrong there. The pump is extremely quite, barely noticeable when engine not running, and undetectable when running. I can't comment on RB racing pumps as I've never used it but I do find it odd that half of their...

Can't comment on other pumps, but going on something like 6 years and 25k miles on my turbowerx exapump. I'm sure it's some rebadged generic pump but it does the trick. http://www.turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pumps/Exa-Pump/Exa-Pump.html

1040 or 1042??

What are the coil dwell settings in your AEM?

Stock to stock the 3.2 just has the displacement advantage but beyond that it isn't any stronger. The FRM sleeves are stronger but thinner so that may be mostly a wash. I would and am currently building a 3.2L Sleeved C30A. 93mm C32 sized pistons, C32 sized valves. The only consideration the C32...

This video?

I just wanted to touch on this subject as it continues to come up on these threads. Why would someone go to Lovefab knowing their history? I was well aware of their history to a certain extent. Many delays and missed deadlines were expected up front to be honest. I looked through many threads...

A little icing on the cake I forgot to post about. When I had originally spec'd out the motor I had intended to run Pauter rods, but as these were a custom order it would have been a 2 month delay. Instead I chose to switch to the more expensive Carrillo Rods. Normally Cody charges $1725 for...

I second that. It's not the rings themselves, but the ringlands on the pistons that typically fail.

I've had similar experience. I had a very specific engine build in mind, nothing crazy just parts that I have used successfully in many motor bulids, IE Pauter Rods, CP Pistons, Benson sleeves, etc. I went to them first and they said they would not be able to build the motor to my...

Just wanted to throw out a review of my terrible experience with Cody at Lovefab. The last 11 months have been filled with nothing but lies and delays. In January of 2016 I began working with Cody on getting my C30A built. I needed a crank which Cody had, and I had a spare motor ready to...

The cheap way with tools commonly available is to plastigauge the clearance. First each block and crank is marked with it's original bearing "Suggestions" the service manual does a good job explaining this. This would be a good starting point to try your first bearing if using plastigague. The...

Great information from Old one. Here is a video from Tony Palo using ID2000's at 1.0ms idleing on a stock 1.8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX1xIvOWcNk If you watch the video Tony does identify that 1.0ms is really too low but it does idle fairly well considering. It sits at 8xxrpm albeit...

Unfortunately none of those sensors are capable of determining airflow. Even the map sensor can only measure pressure which is an indirect but reliable way that we use to calculate airflow and therefore fuel demand. I could easily manipulate the engine airflow in such a way that all of the...

My car made plenty of power with conservative timing in the ballpark of what you are working with. do you happen to have the map I can take a look at and compare? Our cars do not have a Mass airflow sensor. The calculations are performed using a map sensor and RPM. If you change the VE of the...

Don't forget when the ECU tells VTEC to activate it also delivers a lot more fuel which compounds the lack of increased airflow. This would cause torque to drop off faster than just the low cam running out of breath.

Just to confirm you tested the rear solenoid by applying power and it 100% works? This is typical, they are very reliable, albeit leaky. It seems you are left with ensuring there is enough oil pressure, and beyond that would be some type of physical interference. An oil pressure problem would...

I thought you tested the solenoid and it didn't activate?

Was the car tuned at some point prior to this and everything was much better, or is this the first tune?

There were 2 ways I've explored doing this. One with the regulator before the rails in a "return-less" system, and one with the regulator after the rails. The return-less system is the most simple, less fittings and lines, utilized factory rail line. Ultimately I decided not to run the...

I was exaggerating but no one sits a full throttle without letting off for 5-6 minutes. The 185lph is derived from the following calculation: 500whp ~ 575bhp with a 12% reduction from drivetrain losses. 12% is commonly used for a fwd drivetrain like ours, 15 for normal rwd and 20% for awd...
