grey smoke and no power in first

[underpaidmarine]

ok i have a gsr motor 12-1 compression i am using a p28 ecu a.k.a 1992 civic si/ex ecu that is programed to run the gsr motor it has a red line of 9100rpm and the v-tec kicks in about 6500 is this right? And when i take off in first its like it wants to die on me and moves in first like a snail but when it hits 2000rpm it starts to go like a bat out of hell and i get grey smoke when i start the motor and hit it real hard help please

My Type-R's VTEC Kicks in at 5500 I think your GSR should do about the same? Correct me if im wrong

when you first start the car if it's cold, you should see a white/grey smoke from your tailpipe, thats normal, if its constant then you have a problem.

as far as your vtec- it should be around 5200rpm, those aftermarket chips arent really good to buy, they need to be tuned heavily to optimize performance, they are designed for race motor setups, not street driven cars.

FIRST GEAR LIKE REAL SLOW TILL I HIT AROUND 3000RPM THEN IT HITS LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL

My Civic Type R's VTEC kicks in around 6200 and redlines at 8400. It's a dog below 2000rpms also... It's a Honda four cylinder, no power until about 3000-4000

oh so now i understand so you say you have a civic type r well my cam shafts are civic type r from JAPAN thanks bro

Sure... but I was just saying all Honda, well all 4 cylinders are dogs at low rpm. I'm sure there's a few exceptions but for the most part you gotta get up in the rpms to gather all your hp and tq.
