I thought about it....but I don't think I'll make Wake the Dragon, but I'll make it to Tail of the Dragon & FC

 

[QUOTE=WTFWASTHAT?,Mar 24 2006, 08:01 PM]I have been talking to Gerry are PRM since I received my intake.

 

I cannot imagine the air temp changing that much in a matter of inches before it enters the motor.

 

Hasn't been much new to report, and I am quite busy building IT infrastructure for a $350M R&D Center. I am soon to become part of a pit crew for a famous 911 ST vintage racer, and was also offered being Editor at a magazine - considering it for my "spare time". Ha ha ha.

I just turned 2600 miles on my Dec 2003 car! So my warranty is nearly up! Now I can really mess up the thing. I am putting on StopTech slotted rotors and brake lines next, to make the brakes better for my track escapades. I am also playing with a new, "specialty" transmission lube formulation.

I have had some great adventures at VIR (Virginia International Raceway). While my reflexes may have lost a bit over the years, wisdom and "feel" for what the car is doing can make up for it. I think that is why Paul Newman was so successful taking up racing at an age when most people are starting to eye Buicks. BTW, he lives about a mile from my brother in Connecticut (the AMG E55 dude), and the last time I drove by "small Paul's", there was a Toyota Prius where there had usually been something more exotic. Maybe he wants to atone for all the racing fuel crud he shot into our poor, abused, warming atmosphere (yeah, right). By my calculations, he will have to live to be 2,347,435 years old!

On the 2005 MY and up horsepower thing - I notice that the S2000 is now LEV-2 rated - I wonder if the new calibrations have affected "real world" power delivery. If anyone can point to back to back to back 2004 - 2005 -2006 dynos, it would be interesting to see how the curves look. Peak HP is one thing - very often emissions calibrations actually affect the low and midrange power more, since when the car goes WOT, emission calibrations are bypassed.

 

That is a lot of very interesting information. Thank you for the compilation.

As far as unpluging the computer--what happens when you unplug the battery? Will it still be able to complete SSD?

This might be critical information for when you take your car to an audio/electronic shop.

*edit
I just finished reading the rest of the posts on the topic
Here's a quote from Slows2k
I wonder if the computer can detect power being disconnected, stop what it's doing, save it's state with what ever charge it might store somewhere else and finish up when the battery is plugged back in. I don't see why anyone would want to unplug the computer with out unplugging the battery first anyway.

I am only guessing here--it might be save to unplug the battery and then unplug the computer with out waiting the recommended the 15 minutes.

If anyone has any concrete information I would most kindly appreciate it.

 

Honda hasn't stated in the service manual any additional precautions for battery replacement, not does the SM get into detail about what the PCM can detect if/when the battery is disconnected.

They did clearly state unplugging the PCM within 15 minutes of key off is a problem.

One of the 1st things I do when removing the engine from a S2K is to remove the engine wiring harness from the PCM. Which would be done within 5 minutes of turning the key off and not neccesarily before the battery is unplugged.

 

im a noob but what is PCM SDD mode and SDD test

 

It's on page 1 of the thread.

 

Looks like I'll be staying with an 05 then

 

Good choice.
