hey,guys,I figured this is the best place to ask about my particular situation.... My 01 S has about 48 k on it, i have been driving it since about 24k, when i purchased my car it was stock and the stated driver/owner before was in his late 40's.. so... pretty much the car should be in perfect shape.. i hope.. but anyways... to the topic...i have added a catback exhuast/ short air, APEX'i V-AFC, and a ZEX smart nitrous system w/purge.... well.. ever since a few weeks after my zex install.. my car seemed a little off... not as much of a kick at VTEC.. strange idles... and generally not as much go as before...after my car was dyno tuned at JOtech motorsports i was laying down 205 at the wheels with 145.4 lbs of torque.. now im afraid to seewhat i would dyno..anyways... i think maybe my engine is misfiring.. maybe something may ahve messed up..dont know for sure..i have a 100 k warranty.. can i place it to stock and go get it checked out without a big hassle???any comments or suggestions would be great! thanks..

Most likely, i would make sure there is no way they can tell you had mods done to it because Honda is notorious for using any excuse they can find to void a warranty. Then again could also be that your V-AFC needs some tuning or tweaking. No CEL? or any s/s of something possibly wrong. In any case, xviper would be the man to consult on this issue, but definitely run a dyno because i have seen friends add specific mods and actually loose HP, our car is very tuned out from stock and dont expect to see any significant gains w/o boosting.

 

I will have nothing to do with anyone being dishonest.

I would look toward your VAFC as the source of any problems first - bad connections or wrong connections or wrong settings. Also, your nitrous setup automatically voids your powertrain warranty, both the factory one and the extended.
I suggest you yank out the VAFC, don't use the nitrous and try again to see if you've got the performance back.
ps. Was the extended on the car when you bought it because it may not have been transferred when you took it over.

 

Errr... maybe i did come off wrong seeming implied dishonesty, but as for the actual problem being caused by a modification or not ,honda will immediately blame it on a modification wether it caused the problem or not.

 

Definately check your spark plugs, they are probably fouled, especially if they are the stock type. You need to use a copper plug at least one step colder than stock when you run N2O
