Tonight I was driving around and noticed once when I revved the car it popped at about 8300. Then a couple of times when I was going through the gears I would get multiple pops near redline. It didn't do it everytime. I am assuming it is a little too much fuel up top? It has also started to get cold the past couple of nights, low to mid 40's. This is the first time I have driven it in the cold. Could this be related?

 

If this needs to be in under the hood could you please move it? Thanks.

Running 8.5, stock plugs and it is the reflash from Hondata.

 

take it to a dyno and check your AFRs

 

I appreciate the advice. I wouldn't think that would be it since it is the reflash. But it couldn't hurt. Better safe than sorry.

 

Too bad the FlashPro aint out yet - do you know anyone with an ODB2 real-time scanner? You can watch you’re A/F’s as well as other sensors which at 40 degrees, your boost is going to be well beyond 8.5 although since it is a Hondata tune it is highly likely that it is thick (mass production tuning) so I am wondering if this is a stumble like the first batch of KW kits? Plugs fixed that one…

If its not the AFRs. then check the gap on your plugs. I tried running the OEM gap with my hondata reflashed KW kit and i would blow out the spark @ 7600rpms+. It didnt pop (i have the oem exhaust and oem cat at the time), but i could feel the power stumble.

I narrowed the gap down to .33 and i gained 20whp and it was smooth to the 8600 revlimit.

 

^^I agree, you should AT LEAST be running BKR7E plugs. Or the 8E iridiums at the gap they are at when you buy them new...

 

I might try and regap the plugs. I talked to Chris at SOS when I fist bought the kit. He said the stock plugs should be fine. I may upgrade though.
