Only had like half an hour on the car so no videos just yet.
Made a few changes to the vtec fuel map around the 1.4bar boost area and gave the engine it's first hit at this pressure.
Only pulled up to 7.5k rpm as I was running out of bravery, watching the AFRs whilst the engine is pulling hard in 4th is abit sketchy.
Engine held a solid 11.8 AFR upto the region where I let off. Could do with afew % more fuel at this sort of pressure/power really so that's the first change I'll make. I'm pretty sure it would have held 11.8 all the way or perhaps richened up abit after the 8k mark but i need to be careful of the stock valve springs with so much boost pressure so its probably a good thing I didn't rev it right out anyway.
It's becoming more clear as the power increases that i need to try and respect the suggested limits of the setup(sleeves and valve springs currently) but pushing my luck and the tune is too easy when you are your own tuner....
Someone else's car is a different story really as your wanting to make good power but reliability/engine limits come first. If this was someone else's car I'd be suggesting a minimum of a valve train upgrade (springs, retainers and possibly a stronger valve) and maybe CSS (cylinder support system) or Darton sleeves to further the power potential of the setup. So I should probably start taking my own advice here, although a sleeved block isn't on the cards at all really so that will be an internal struggle with myself for a while until I decide to just crank the boost up and see what happens lol
The setup currently makes 1 bar of boost before 5k rpm so leaves me with over 4k of 1 bar goodness before I hit the redline. I've not tried to pull this spool time down yet and it does start to drop abit of boost as you reach the higher rpms, this is where the larger exhaust housing would have benefited the setup but I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve for this issue.
I think I'll start refining the setup of the lower boost levels rather than push for more boost just yet. Although knowing the fueling is good for 1.4bar is mega tempting lol
Sorry for the full on story of my life post, no pictures sucks I know!
