Lol Terry , nothing happened to my car haha. Ill be swapping ecu's for maf kit soon.

What do you think could be my 900 rpm idle ? AFM, ICV ?

haha ok

[ryanredbaron]

You can't just come in here with your swapped car like a bigshot! Is that adam's in riverside?

Sorry ill swap in my m20 and do a build thread, start from the beginning :(:(

Terry, I'm running a jim c chip with a stock cam like many others are and I haven't experienced anything?

Oh you will my friend,.......you will. That is how you suck-a-valve and break rocker arms. Then the part of the valve breaks off and does a irish jig on your piston and possibly breaks it.

[einstein57]

The hi-po cam has a higher lift and gets rid of the valve float up to about 7000 rpm's pending on the grind.

A change of springs would eliminate any float but I trust my dads experience. His car has a 7200 rpm rev limit that he has been over revving for 20 years. I also rape the hell out of my motor as everyone who has ever been on a ride with me know. Not saying that everyones head will last forever but its not a garantee that it will break.

Only reason ppl dont want verts is cuz every e30 fan boy is a "racer"... or to cheap to find a top lol

I hope you realize you described yourself to a T

Ben, I hope you realize you described yourself to a T

I didn't want to be one to say anything on that one but yeah, that pretty much sums him up...........lmfao

I have dual valve springs on mine and it still did it till i got the cam installed,just saying better to be safe than sorry.

I was going to go back to the stock chip for mpg purposes anyways. You guys scare me.

terry has no reason to put those valve springs on unless he is MT which he doesn't. your tranny will shift anyway unless u like Neutral dropping


now lets all marvel at how vtec works

What in the hell are you talking about? We are talking cams and chips and having valve float not transmissions.

[happycamper]

im talking about your case for having dual valve springs

[QUKBMER]

Alot of m20's that dont have them, they have single valve springs and break along with rockers breaking at high RPM''s especially running a chip with out a hi-po cam for extra lift at higher RPM's. Both manual and semiauto transmissions are the same. My friend and i have manual and auto and experienced the same issue with our cars.

[einstein57]

I think what happy camper is getting at (we are all only talking about "i" heads) is that if you are driving an automagic then it is hard to get to the revlimiter unless you go through the 1-2-3 manually.

[jp_slick]

dropping a valve sucks yo
on a much happier note im in the market for a pair of 15mm spacers if anyone has some

r3v is srs bzns lol I fI get banned its not my fault, just sayin :rofl:
