12psi+months of basemaps+tuning today=Engine no Worky :(
Well today i finally got a chance to go to ReNR's hosue to attempt to tune my car. We got to this spot where the road was nice and long and traffic was minimal. I started it on a rolling start in 3rd gear from 2,800 Rpms till 7,000. Well i guess all months driving on my basemap killed my ringlands. The car immediately shut off once i let off the gas at 7,000. i popped the clutch and it started up only ti blow a bunch of smoke into the cockpit. WTF? i tunr around and park it while the car is running and to my surprise i see lots of smoke coming from the valve cover brather.
RenR: Dude, is that what i think it is
Me: yeah..WOW!!!
RenR: do you even still want to tune
ME: You think
needless to say we took a look at the data gatthered and it didnt look to bad. The thing i think that killed it was a major drop in fuel around 3000-5000 and my AFRS were around 11 or so. The timing on TE was like 28 or so around that RPM range so i think that might have had something to so with it aswell.
So now im going to have to put together another motor with the spare blocks i have in my garage. I have a ZC sohc block and a Y8 head (Sans valve cover) and a Y8 IM ( sans Fuel rail )
So if anyone has a fuel rail and a VC for that head please let me know ASAP caus i need it to finish the car by track day saturday.
thanks HMT

I might have the VC, I'll check it out tomorrow. I know I have a fuel rail, but it has a stripped out FPR hole. I ran it w/ only one for a bit w/ no problems, you could try it if you want.

Vato I told you it was a "I hurrrd type of thing that the a6 dist bolt right onto the y8 head". Just remember what Eazy said, "Don't qoute me boy cause i ain't said ----." I just ditched almost all of my sohc ----, almost all of my honda ---- to a guy for scrap metal. So I can't really help you with ---- you may be needing.
