1992 Honda Civic EG Turbo – Calibration
Category : Automobile Performance
This project really was frustrating since when it seems that we made some gains, the parts that were initially installed were not up to par when it came down to see numbers on the rollers. This is why I always preach, “buy quality the first time and then you don’t have to spend twice.”
With that said, knock off fuel items were bought and installed the first go around as we tried to calibrate this vehicle on a fresh built engine, used Precision turbo 62mm turbo, CSF radiator, Speedfactory FMIC & hood exit exhaust, Tial 60mm WG, Hondata CPR & S300, Fuse E85R.
Well that first session was a complete disaster as the POS Bosch 2200cc and China made dual pumps, 5 gal. fuel tank and lines deteriorated from the ethanol fuel and contaminated the whole fuel system. Besides that the pumps just failed during a pull. At the time we decided to abandon the calibration and resume at a later time when we can buy some better components. We ripped the fuel pump and replaced it with a Aeromotive A1000 inline and got rid of those injectors and replaced with some Fuel Injector Development 2000cc units. Cleaned the whole fuel system and then got her back on the rollers.
This time on the rollers it did not disappoint as we managed to make some sauce on the Dyno Dynamics. Here are the results.
