well ladies... the time has drawn near....

yeah, that's why my car is at my tuner. he's a well respected honda guy. he was amazed at how much more options the new software has over the series 1 junk.
yeah, i really don't want to go fic either. plus i thought about it the other day, there will not be a fuel governor on it, so i can probably find my real top speed

The one feature that I really like is that the software allows you to use up to two widebands to control the fuel trims, not narrow bands like the stock bs. That way the car is always running perfect AFR. Its similar to the 7th and 8th gen Accords. Ill be running one wideband per bank. I need to get a set of cams and then tune, I want to be the first all motor CL to hit 350whp.

Yep, only the one right before the cat controls the fuel trims, the o2 after the cat is just a sniffer to make sure the cat is operating properly.

Ive run without the secondary without any change in my AFRs. I did have a CEL for the o2 itself though.

so i got a text from my tuner last night. and he said he got in touch with aem. they are thinking it's a bad cam or crank sensor. i'm thinking about picking up the car and trying to replace these things in my driveway.
i'm thinking maybe i damaged the cam sensor when changing the timing belt as i was using a wrench to turn the cam gear
i have a spare a1 in my back yard, would the sensors work on my a2?

yeah, i compared the part numbers and they look the same. so i'm thinking of picking it up sometime, driving it back home and replacing this sucker. it's gonna suck because it'll be just like changing the timing belt cause i've gotta get that cam gear off in order to remove the timing belt cover.

picked the car up today. drove it from frankfort to richmond which is a good 45min to hour drive. wideband is installed and car still sounds like shit, so i have an exhaust leak somewhere. probably between the up pipe and the header "ypipe"
since we're running on stock ecu, i really didn't want to push too much on it because boost will throw it into limp mode. but i'll tell you what, when i'm on the high way in 6th gear, it still wants to pull.
depending on how the weather handles this week, i'll take the sensors off the other engine and i'll install them this weekend. i'll also need to get a new p/s pump. once the sensors are installed, i'll plug in the AEM EMS and hopefully it'll rev past 3-4k, if that happens we are ready for tune.

haha, morgan, your avatar is killing me.
on a serious note. nope means fml. since i couldn't get the sensors off of the other engine, i just ordered new ones, picked them yesterday morning in louisville and my brother started working on it. took us a good 8 hours to swap both the cam and crank sensors, but once i started the car right up, still will not rev past 3k.
kris was talking about the ckp sensor on the trans in the "hondata" thread. nothing is hooked up to the trans, could that be the problem?

I wish I had more experience with it, but Im waiting for them to finalize the software.
#428
they pretty much brushed me off saying that the TL is not supported in this configuration blah blah blah. but if i wanted to raise the thresholds i'd go into the advanced cam/crank section. i can't find it but whatever.
think it could possibly be richie's harness?

Id just tell them what engine youre running and what tranny and go from there. Its a stand alone so the chassis really doesnt matter. Im not familiar with Richies harness.

i have one suggestion though, is have the tuner check the polarity of the cam and crank sensors and that they are hooked up CORRECTLY (maybe they get switched on the AEM
![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)
i know it may sound stupid, but i have seen one car where another shop had done head gaskets on a subie, when they had pulled the intake manifold, they pulled on the crank sensor wires, then they had plugged them back in the wrong pins (both brown wires btw)
well lets just say it would not run, and when you did get it to run and all, it would backfire, pop, and make a bunch of the wrong noises, we switched those two wires around, and it ran just like originally
give me a sec, and i will try and post a picture to explain it better

so basically in the first wave form, with where tehe gray arrow is, is where the ecu "NORMALLY" picks up the signal, as it crosses a certian threshold/amplitude
well basically what was happening was that the, when the signal was crossing that same threshold, was way too late when those wires where switched around (as shown in the second waveform, causeing all the issues, with retarding timing (or advancing, depending on if the ecu sees a leading or trailing signal origionally)
btw that double hump, would be the #1 at TDC signal before you ask
and to further help my theory
![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
![ugh](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ugh.gif)
so basically what i am thinking is that the wires for one of the cam sensors is switched around from the factory setting
