JR's water injecton

if you've got forced induction of ANY sort -- Turbo, Supercharger, Nitrous -- or any high compression setup....

YOU NEED to retard your timing. THIS DOES prevent detonation/knock in your engine. In short, it will make it last longer!

WHERE'S that BDC when you need him?


ABOUT THE SC water injection, i'm wondering too man!! Hope you get the answers you need!

A cam gear advances/retards VALVE TIMING, which does nothing to prevent detonation. You need to retard IGNITION TIMING to prevent detonation. (Ideally, your ignition timing should produce peak cylinder pressures at 10-12 degrees after top dead center. That will provide peak power. Advance it too much and you put strain on the rods and bearings. Retard it too much and you overheat your motor.) Read my response again, this time, read it carefully.

As for the water injection, read the link I provided. There's nothing to wonder. It will definitely lower intake temp, but it's definitely not good for the motor.

This is exactly why the quality of Superhonda is dropping. Lots of crap information...

geez... sorry we're not all as smart as you

since you're so smart, care to answer a question I've asked in 5 different places..?/

What the gear ratios of the D series (SOHC's) tranny. I need to know the auto and the manual,,,.. through each gear..

All I can find is info on the dam B series.

Here's what I got:

............RS/LS ..... GS-R ..... Type R
1st ..... 3.230..... 3.230 ..... 3.230
2nd ..... 1.900 ..... 1.900 ..... 2.105
3rd ..... 1.269 ..... 1.360 ..... 1.468
4th..... 0.966 ..... 1.034 ..... 1.117
5th ..... 0.714 ..... 0.787 ..... 0.850
FD ..... 4.266 ..... 4.400 ..... 4.800


also, the CVT from 2001 sohc wouldn't bolt right up would it? I was taught d series trans works with d series motots, and b series tranny works with b series motors... I don't see why not!

Thanks dude.. I should have sat and thought before I posted those last two....

Thanks for the numbers... I'll store them somewhere for next time!

I found out earlier today myself, but I appreciate your help man...
