Dip in torque curve
Dip in torque curve
Since my car has been tuned there has been a dip around 4200 -4700 rpm.
My tuner tried everything to get this away but did not succeed. He told me this is caused by the 16 valves effect.
Though VTEC engages at 3500 in open loop, torque does not mount immediately after it.
I wonder if this is normal behaviour on my mods?
My mods are:
ITG maxogen box
RBC manifold
Hondata heat gasket
Hytech header
3 inch exhaust
The calibration:

I'll have to look at the kal when I get home, but yea, that sounds about right.

Re: Dip in torque curve
Not the best map Ive seen, but certainly not the worst. Could it be tuned out? Maybe...but its not worth messing with a tuned map. Especially with no log or dyno AFR reading.

Re: Dip in torque curve
Dyno AFR was tuned, but just not showing on the map, AFR was 12,8 above 3000 rpm and 12,5 near max RPM.
What can be better in your opinion? Do you believe the dip can be removed by mapping or is it a setup limitation?
AFR was fine around 4500 rpm btw. And what about oil consumption, can it be caused by this map? I have a consumption of 1 liter every 2000 km on high load on the engine i have to admit.
If u think u can make it better and gain higher HP on 4500 rpm and above 8000 maybe its worth it for me to make some logs.
But I dont have a wideband sensor since i have PRA ecu.

Red is before tune grey after
Top curves is torque

Try it
Vtec point 4500rpm with OEM cams
rpm VTC
3000 35º
3500 30º
4000 30º
4250 35º
4500 40º
advance ignition to 30º in this range and adjust a/f 13.00-13.5

Re: Dip in torque curve
Where did u get this info then?
Re: Dip in torque curve
13.5 is a little high for my taste (my car made best power in the high 12s on the dyno) but other than that, his suggestion could work. It will require you to put some work into your low cam tables though and without a dyno theres no guarantee it would work.
Post a log with the new cam angles and the AFRs logged and fixed.

Re: Dip in torque curve
I have a PRA ecu with narrowband, there is no way in logging the AFR without me installing a wideband first i'm afraid :(
Re: Dip in torque curve
then I wouldnt mess with it.
If you want to wire in a wideband you might be able to fix the issue, but doing it blind is silly.

Re: Dip in torque curve
Ok thanks for the help then anyway :)

If you have gasoline 95 or 98 ron put this values in LOW-CAM without problem.
DIP is caused by low VTEC point and agressive VTC from OEM cams.
Re: Dip in torque curve
But i believe my cams are at 30 degrees around those rpms.
I'll check when im home.
We believe the dip is from the 3 inch.
But i can test, normally i should feel the difference.
