96 integra turbo question

[civickiller]

you cant run exactly the same timing as someone else. each motor is different, some like more timing some like less timing.

the way you can blow your motor by running rich is that because your dumping so much fuel it is washing hte oil off the cylinder walls, so pretty much running metal to metal and you will start to lose cr.

5th has the most load on it, let me guess you were trying to race it in 5th gear. you cant do that in 5th gear. thats one reason why you dont want to be shifting into 5th in teh 1/4 mile.

If you are looking for a safe and effective way to tune your turbo setup and dont want to go hondata for whatever reason, i suggest Greddy E-manage. It has capabilities like the VAFC but more expanded and it can control timing as well. All the hareware that you will need will cost around 400. Thats steep, but a way better option than FMU or FPR or VAFC. Like I said look into Hondata if you are OBD1, if you are OBD2 like me and dont want to have to convert, then the Greddy e-manage is a very effective tool. I've heard many good things about it, however with any turbo setup you need to get it TUNED!
