something something.... DANGER ZONE!

Looks like you caught it in time (bad pun).

Did Nerd get anywhere with the ATI damper for the BP?

[shorestiva]

No it has the damper ring.

Solid crank pulley?

[shorestiva]

Part throttle is pretty much a light switch at high rpm. I'll try to ease into it mid corner but if you aren't on it hard it'll start jerking. Think I may have found part of both my problems though.



I just took it off so well see if that fixes things. Pics of all my oil leaks. It's back in the car now I was just to lazy to take pics of it all cleaned up lol.





Idle valve. Don't think I've seen one on anything sold here but I haven't paid that much attention to them before.



And finally. How far off the timing mark on my pulley is.

[Advancedynamix]

Well, low 14:1 at high rpm on that engine is probably fine. TQ peak is probably around 5500-5800rpm and you just want around 13.8:1 at TQ peak. A touch richer that stoich is fine in over rev on most street applications.
What do you mean when you say the throttle is jumpy?

I think the coolant side is bad I've got the electric disconnected. The coolant ports looked pretty rusty when I put it in. It could also be my coolant lines going to it. There's not much room back there so there's some pretty tight bends in the lines. I'm pretty sure my timing is right. I took my upper cover off and stuck my camera down the lower cover, then lined up the timing mark on the crank gear. The timing mark on the pulley was only a few degrees off but I marked the correct position and set ignition timing off that.

[Advancedynamix]

I disconnect the electric side of my idle valve and just use the coolant side and my idle bypass screw on my throttle body. That idle valve may be like the ones on the JDM b6t manifolds. If it is, it's the same as the early usdm 323 b6 (like 85 or 86 iirc)
It also just occurred to me that your ignition timing may be at fault for the mixture being off. You can't trust the marks on the pulley to set timing. I know I've seen whacky fuel curves with the ignition timing being off.

Can't wait for hunting season to start up again lol.

Kinda sort still not that happy with it. I'm at 65 psi and getting low 14s on the top end. I don't think I want to crank it up much more. The tps may be out of adjustment but the throttle is really jumpy at part throttle/ high rpms. The idle valve may have crapped out also and I don't think it's the same as any of the usdm ones.

[Advancedynamix]

Holy crap! Another deer? I'm glad you're okay!

Did you ever get that JDM b6d to fuel right?

[shorestiva]

Pulled the engine back out of the festiva so I could replace all the gaskets. Now the saab decides to strip out it's chain tensioner. I hate cars.

[shorestiva]

Yeah bruise on my shin but that's about it. Got stupid lucky.

[FestYboy]

You OK?

[shorestiva]

I'm now 2-0 in motorcycle vs deer lol.

[shorestiva]

No idea must've hit a bad bump or something. I was gone for a few days and when I got back the rf was getting low on air. Found a pretty decent bend in the inner lip while looking for the leak. Thinking I'm just going to get rpf1 now instead of dealing with these old used wheels.

[Advancedynamix]

How did you bend one?
