I changed my speedo cable today. You guys were right...tape the new one to the old one and pull it through. After I lined everything up, it worked great. The main reason I changed it was because the speedo itself bounced and had a grinding noise. $32 from Honda.

I installed my Vafc also. I bought a harness from Boomslang.com. I know, I wussed out. I did not trust my wiring skills and was being lazy. Seems to be working fine. The main reason that I got it was to engage the vtec. Before I was using a RPM switch. I am going to the Dyno/Tuner to get it fine tuned on Monday. I will let everyone know the outcome.

Sean, I want to know how your first dyno experiance goes!!
Todd

good luck at the dyno

Make that Tuesday, I hope. I got swamped at work...but that is a good thing since I am a co-owner. I will see if I can scan the results to let others know what to expect with a similar setup. Thanks for the support guys!

By the way...the new speedo cable completely eliminated the needle bouncing and the grinding noise.

no more grindy grindy!!!!

OK boys, I finally got it on the dyno today. Not the numbers I was hoping for but ...

I am running a D16, Y7 block, Z6 head, auto tranny, Vafc and lots more stuff.
"Naturally Aspirated"

HP at the wheels:101.25
TQ at the wheels:86.09

The "Dyno Guy" said to add 15-20 HP because the auto tranny on the dyno doesn't give you the same #'s as a standard tranny. Something about the shifting of the gears?

I will try to scan the printout tomorrow and give a detailed description of my modifications.

Hopefully this will give the D16 guys an idea of what to expect from your setups.

not too shabby!!!!! and with a auto!!! switch that damn thing over to a stick!!!!!!
my first dyno experince was on a vw day, so lots of 1.8t golf's vr6 getta's so on and so forth, but i had a "stock" d16 si motor with a aem cold air, dc 4-2-1 header, thermal exhaust rolling on some motegi mr7 ( heavy 18's on a crx!!)
110.7 hp
101 tq
back to back runs
we put a set of stocks on the front and i put down
118.2 hp
103 tq
hope you had fun!!!
and like i said put a stick into it!!
Todd

The dyno guy said I actually got more like 115-120HP. He told me something about the fact that I had an auto tranny, it threw the dyno #'s off b/c I had to run it in 2nd gear (all the way down) otherwise it would have shifted gears. That 2nd gear is a dog, I never use it. Also I am rolling on 16's. That didn't help much either. However, for an everyday driver, the auto is great.

Nice job!!


Definitely toss that automatic trans out and get a 5spd.

I finally got the Dyno image on here!

These are my Dyno results with this setup:
-D16y7 block
-Z6 vtec head
-Apex'i Vafc
-ground wires
-header, no cat.,performance exhaust
-CAI, K&N filter, bypass valve
-(OBD0)-PS9 ECU, TB, Intake, injectors, fuel rail, and dizzy
-MSD external coil, Crane cams fireball cap and rotor, Accell wires
-Auto tranny
-16x7 wheels
-Naturally aspirated

Like I posted earlier, the Dyno guy said to add 15-20hp to my numbers b/c of the auto tranny. I hope this gives the D16 guys some Idea of what HP/TQ range to expect. He suggested a 50-shot of nitrous for a safe 40hp gain. It would be the best bang for my buck. I don't race it, but, I want to be able to win if a punk wants to try.

These #'s do not compare to Jadkar's but it is only a measly D16.

I am afraid I will stick with the auto for now for practicality purposes, however the "Dyno guy" is an avid drag racer and prefers an auto tranny...if you know how to manipulate it.

I want to thank everyone for thier support and help. I will continue my quest for speed. Next comes a paint job and body kit.

you need a 5 speed!!! lot more "free" power there!!!

Right now I am not ready to tackle a project like that. I will certainly keep that in mind for the future.

if i ever make it over that way, ill give you a hand!!
Todd

Thanks man!
If you like to hunt, fish, camp or ride 4 wheelers...come on down. I have 700 acres to play on. It would be a good place for a future mid-national CRX rally.

I'll bring my Civic for good measure

Good number on the dyno

Yes, Northwest Arkansas...the scenic part of the state. It has some really good curvy roads and mountains. Lets see what a few more people think and I will post a new thread to see how if it will fly.

So we've seen the dyno #s...did you feel a difference in the butt dyno after the tune? Or did you do a baseline to see what it put down before the vafc?
