1)always make sure main harness/engine harness ground is properly grounded. in most honda's it's the one on the thermostat housing. shit will get fucked up, n will run u insane trying to figure it out. u will check cam timing, ignition, injector pulse, main relay, fuel pump, only to find out it won't start sometimes or won't rev because the damn ground harness is loose.
2)to get proper timing belt tension, latch tensioner spring, tighten tensioner bolt, turn crank until spockets move 3 teeth counter clockwise, loosen tensioner bolt, look for pull, tighten bolt n good to go, if still too much slack on water pump side of timing belt, then your belt is stretched or ur tensioner spring is shot.( this doesn't apply if u have a K, fucker)
3)proper fuel pressure is 44psi at the FUEL RAIL- not the filter.
4)don't exceed injector duty cycle which is most efficient at 80% meaning, if ur running on stock 240cc injectors, adding 5 points through out ur powerband on an AFC will put duty cycle higher than 80% n will fuck shit up in the long run.
5)14.7psi is the atmospheric pressure of the earth at sea level- meaning if u have a wideband, always lower than 14.7(rich) never higher, like 15 or more which is (lean) or toasted motor.
6) internal combustion parts are not rated at how much boost/psi they can handle, its how much power then can handle before they break, example b-series will probably blow at 12psi(WRONG) if 12psi was pushing the motor to 300hp on a proper tune, then the engine probably won't last long.
7) CFM can be directly correlated to horsepower, if a heads flows 30CFM at an efficient velocity, then 30CFM will translate to a 30hp gain, GIVE or TAKE a pony or two.
8)O2 sensors don't measure how much fuel an engine is burning, it measure how much air is burnt.
9) "FACT" most broken third gear syncros r driver error. Most people, unconsiously(without knowing) release the clutch pedal, before the gear is actually engaged all the way, causing wear n tear over a period of time, which leads to grindin into 3rd. its faster to get from 1st to 2nd, but our brains register 2nd to 3rd in the same way as 1st to 2nd.
10) always add a fuse or relay, or both to any tap u do to the junction box, like fob lights, or an alarm, or solenoids. a fried wire is hard to trouble shoot," like lookin for a worn in spaghetti" plus electricians like to BS about a problem being difficult, when in fact- to them it was a walk in the park.
11)Just because, someone is ASE certified, doesn't mean they know how to fix a car. "I know from experience"-seen guys with the patch who have a hard time changing an AC belt, because they didn't loosen the tensioner out all the way, yet they get paid more than me...(its one thing to have a year of classroom knowledge, n its another of to have 5 years hands on.
21) "another fact"- i can n will waste jimmy's EK-K lol...
