Supertech dual springs/retainers. Everything else is stock, unopened.
I've been reading a lot of mixed information on head gaskets and head studs. A lot of people seem to leave the hg and stock head studs as-is if its never been taken apart before. And some people swear by arp head studs and a new oem hg. Think im just going to leave it as-is unless i find out something otherwise.

Have u noticed that it's hard to start the car after the engine has been running after awhile. OnE85 . After it cools off it starts just fine. .

you should ask david about the warm start. it prob has to do with coolant temp compensation cranking tables. or did ap1chief help u out last time? should be an easy fix

Hey guys my tuner attempted to tune my car for flex this past weekend and this is what we found. Not to mention, this was his first time tuning flashpro's flex tables.
Setup: continental flex fuel sensor, jun1or's friend's signal converter, wired into ect2 port on the ecu.
We set up the signal converter in the software to have 0v read 0% and 5v read 100% ethanol content.
We tuned on 91 pump first, then tuned e85. First issue was that oddly the sensor read 45% e for pump gas and 55% e for e85. Seemed rather high for pump gas and low for e85.
The 91 pump tune was done at wastegate pressure (~7psi). Second issue was that later we realized when attempting to tune e85, there was no way to increase boost with increasing e85 content. So essentially the psi tuned on 91 pump gas is the psi youre stuck with on e85. Where as aem has two separate tables for pump gas vs e85 and ability to blend the two maps (af, ign, boost, etc).
We ended up just having a separate 91 and e85 map at the end of the day.
Still needs more features to be added to the software by hondata to run flex fuel as intended.
