Is this Detonation?
Hey guys I recently installed the highboost kw kit w/ hondata reflash
however I have J's Header installed also and the reflash was never made with aftermarket header in mind so.......
I think am detonating after 7700rpms but am not sure cause i dont know what its like.
Here is a video from my phone... when passing 7700rpms the revs seems like its hitting a wall like a rev limiter but I dont feel complete power cut off.

It's probably the plugs. My car was doing the same thing when I got my NA tune because I had plugs that were gapped for a FI setup. Once I put the stockers back in, everything was fine.
You should try using plugs that are gapped at 0.033

andre, i had the same problem with the plugs you originally had for the NA tune in my FI setup on the dyno; I think it had to do something with the cooper plugs being non-resistor type and something werid about the MY06++
i now have step colder iridiums which are resisted and work perfectly..
dave, are you running on stock plugs? i still have these step colder iridium plugs! ask my bro...

Also, it seems that everyone changes to 0.033 gapping with any FI setup anyway and are pleased with them... so I guess it's worth it.

So are you guys gapping these iridiums ? or leaving them the way they come?
Reason i ask, this was posted in the Big kraftwerks thread. Just wondering if there is any truth to it.

FYI becareful not to gap thoses plugs I didnt and my car runs fine, NGK IFR8H11 (Stock 5068).
When you gap them you remove the plating at the tip and turn the plug into a cheepy one.

Iridium plugs are bought at the correct gapping distance or just don't buy them.
