delta regrind question!!!!!!

[DraZtiK]

Hey guys well i just got done tuning up my friends accord and he just put in the delta 272... now i take it out for a test drive and it feels like it pulls just as hard as my car and his car sounds a hell of a lot more lopey but he doesn't have as big as exhaust or no a6 intake manifold and his car isn't tuned for the cam... just wondering where the markings are on the cam to show its a 272 or what?? i'm thinking i got fucked when i got my cam from Dr.Occa like 3 years back and its a 264 or something..

[DraZtiK]

a little off topic, but does anyone have trouble passing emissions with the 272? im not in cali btw.

i dont have any emissions here in minnesota, but i cant even get the thing to idle with my 272!

tuning is what you need.

if you have more work done to your motor to improve flow in and out than just a delta 272 cam, you're F22 will need to be tuned and will idle higher or need the higher idle to idle properly. My red accord with a 3-inch short ram intake, bored h23 tb, ported h23 intake manifold, f22 portwork, kamikaze header and 2.5-inch exhaust idles at 1200 rpm at 18 deg BTDC set through Hondata s200 system. Mechanically it could only idle at 900 rpm max (tried everything to help, you need it controlled through engine management system) and that wasn't enough and it would stall out on me. it doesn't stall out now, takes a good solid 10 minutes in cold weather to warm up though. also, i would get a block off plate for the starting air valve, helps keep a consistent idle or you'll get a vacuum leak from it with a more aggressive cam cuz it won't have enough vacuum at idle to keep it closed.
