Hey all, my setup is a 96 accord, 98 jdm h22a, 80 hp direct port NX, an-r header, action clutch, fidanza flywheel, walbro 255lph pump, mas ignition, 2 steps colder plugs, and all your other basic stuff.

Today I went to the clutch. Im in colorado, elevation 6000ft. Last summer I ran a 16.8 all motor and 14.9 on a 50 single fogger shot. This summer, the difference was the action 2md clutch, fidanza lightweight flywheel, an-r header, and the upgrade to a 80hp direct port setup. Times, consistent 17.7's. WTF?

There seems to be a problem with my car idling. The past few days, my car would stall a few times when I let go of the gas; it would just drop all the way down and stall. Today at the track, the thing kept stalling after I start the car and slightly rev the engine. But then on the way home it was somewhat fine. Seems like it wants to stall but doesnt. Whats going on? Is it something to do with the lightweight flywheel? I probably had to start my car about a total of 20 times when I was at the track for 5 hrs. Also, my VTEC seems VERY WEAK! Normally I can feel quite a significant pull all the way past redline, but it seems to struggle to get to redline. Im sure this has to do with my times, but I dont know why its weaker. I have my VAFC set to 4800rpm.

Then, when I did my one and only nitrous run.........I have the progressive controller set low so that I can use it in first gear, but when I use it, it turns on then seems to stop. When I shift, it goes on then "seems like its going off," but its still on. Is it too much fuel or something? Im using 22 nitrous and 18 fuel jets. Fuel pressure on the b&m guage is 55psi at WOT.

I will check my compression tomorrow, plugs seemed clean as far as I can tell. Im thinking its running rich for the nitrous, but weird thing is that the plugs arent any darker. Also, yesterday I put in 3 gallons of toluene with 14 gallons of 91 octane to increase my octane to 95.

Thanks, sorry so long

if you have copper plugs and if you have more than 5000 miles and/or more than 6 months...even if the plugs look good, it's worth changing them. If that doesn't solve it, then check the rest of the ignition system. Compression test never hurts either, but pray it hasn't gotten that bad.

Just did a compression test:

1: 195
2: 200
3: 205
4: 207

I then decided to put a capful of oil for whatever reason:

1: 220
2: 233
3: 235
4: 237

The pre-cap numbers were the same as the numbers last time, before I raced yesterday. Any thoughts? Oh, and the car drove just like normal today, no problems with stalling.

damn, i must be getting sluggish in my old age.....

For the NOS kits, you only need 43 psi of fuel pressure. I'd hop onto a dyno and see what's up with your AF ratio. It'll cost around $80. Replace your plugs as well.
Also, how long was the toulene mix in your car?
