Hondata

Just wanted to give an update. Finally got around to ripping the head apart. It was in fact a blown head-gasket. The gasket failure was caused by the missfires I had when my coil packs failed. There was no other damage beyond that.

I've already swapped a new gasket in, and so far so good.

^ I've already bleed the system several times. I'm pretty certain that is not the issue currently. I did have a problem with it about 3 weeks ago, I actually had a leak on the coolant line to the turbo which was dripping. I fixed that and re-bleed the system and it was good to go.


What I'm ...

My map has the fan set to 202 degrees.

On that note, the fans do turn on when that degree is reached (it seemed to actually come on when the temperature reached 204 degrees). I also squeezed the radiator hoses when it was hot, and there was a give in it. Not sure how it's supposed to be or what ...

Ok, so here we go.

Yesterday on my way home, I set everything up and got the ECT readings on the screen. Basically my commute in the afternoon consists of regular driving through normal traffic (35/45/55mph) with an occasional red light stop where I'm sitting for about 3-5 minutes, and a little ...

So I tried to datalog it on the way to work this morning. Don't think I did it right.

I connected the laptop, pulled open the readouts table with the EGT, IAT, revs, and so forth. It was reading all of it and then I clicked on the red dot. After that, I have no idea?

It's an AP1.

I'll do a datalog on it tomorrow morning, since that's when it seems to happen.

Would it be bad to adjust the overheating temperature to 230 degrees and re-upload the map? Or do you not suggest this?

I'm running an Inline Pro turbo kit, with a GT3076r, 675cc injectors, 3mm headgasket plus other stuff ... I'm a previous owner of an AEM EMS but decided to swap over to the Hondata due to emissions.

The car runs great, but I'm having issues with overheating (or apparent overheating). I have bled ...
