04 rsx type-s with short ram and dc header

Post by silentbtdeadly »

I have an 04 rsx type s, short ram intake, dc header.. just bought the car recently, but I'm pretty sure that's all it has.
I had accidently cleared out the programming the other day, and I found this calibration - k20a2-rsx-coldairTAZ11.kdl that seems to run fairly well.. but I still get a p1164 code(air/fuel ratio sensor range/performance problem) - and I'm still VERY new at this so I'm trying to figure out what I should do to fix it.

I'm including the kdl I'm using as well as a 3rd gear pull I did today - I think I did it right, 3rd gear from 2400rpm to almost 7k, open loop.. also included the cal

If there's anything else I need to do, or if I did something wrong, let me know.. I'd appreciate any help I can get!

If I read it right, it looks like I'm running very rich, then I go too lean after vtec.. and maybe my vtec point kicked in too late?

Again, looking forward to some advice!

Okay, so I'm doing some research, trying to figure some things out while I wait for some feedback.. but I'm unsure of the reliability of the sources(does anyone have better sources?)
This site ( http://www.pencomputing.com/rsx/adjusting_fuel.html ) on number 4 says you want a pretty level air/fuel ratio, which mine is relatively flat, it only varies between 14.12-14.66, so that is good right? But it says a naturally aspirated car should be running around 13.2
This site ( http://www.hondata.com/techenginetuning.html ) says to aim for around 14.7:1(I'm assuming that is what that measurement is?) for up to column 5 of the ignition and fuel tables.. for economy driving. Then at column 6-10 to bring it from 13.5 to 12.5 - but my table shows either ignition low speed or high speed, not "ignition and fuel table" - is this not the same thing then? I see he is using the "hondata rom editor", and it looks much more straight forward.. that or my table is way off if it is the same thing.
Someone here ( http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2646334 ) also mentioned trying to stay at around 14.7 in the non-WOT range.. but said to aim for around 13 in WOT.

So I guess I could use some clarifications as to what the goals are, or maybe better sources. I'm still doing a ton of research, but my goal is to keep this driving economy when I'm not wide open throttle.. and to make sure that I'm not running lean, which if what I am reading is right, I am running lean for WOT..

So anyways, just posting what I'm reading until anyone decides to give me some ideas, thanks in advance!

Bump-
I have someone who is trying to e-tune it with me, if any other set of eyes wants to tell me if it is looking good..?

Sean2 goes with the 3rd gear pull
Sean3 goes with the 4th gear pull

With the changes he made from the sean2 to sean3 calibration, would you say this guy is worth paying for? I'm assuming we aren't quite done yet, but I just want to make sure he knows what he is doing..

Even tho I have't gotten ANY feedback, maybe someone with a similar setup will see these files and be appreciative..
