    Not officially...
    Three things have contributed to this unfortunately.

    1) One of the sleeves is dropping... causing some overheating problems.
    2) Loose piston skirt-to-wall clearance causes some excessive side loading and increases the parasitic drag dramatically.
    3) I tuned the car when it was very HOT outside.

    Officially, I made 274 WHP and 196 lbs/ft. of torque.

    i still check in from time to time. part of the problem is that the import scene is not what it used to be. OBDII as well as a whole new generation of cars (heck, how old IS a 1995 civic now? [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) have lead people into new directions. and most of the newer generation of people and cars seem less willing or able to do real work on their cars. i dunno ...
    but this place is still a treasure trove of alll kinds of information. i still search on a regular basis as well.
