    Ah damn it's too bad we missed each other. I saw you posted you were going out, but I thought it was during the week. Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate that. It's good to hear from time to time. Keeps me motivated to keep things going around here. There's not much participation these days with other social media outlets, but we are still alive! haha I hope to link up one of these days out there.

    It's gonna be a little warm out there this weekend. I'll be up early each day for sure. The mornings and evenings should be perfect.

    Sorry man. It can be frustrating. I've chased my share of stupid problems over the years.

    Badass! Sounds like an epic weekend.

    I run race gas. You have to with the turbo, but it's very efficient and doesn't go through that much fuel. My motor came out of a 2003 Odyssey. I think the newer ones might be higher compression, but I'm not that sure. I'd have to ask my Honda buddies in camp. They know more about them than me. I'm not sure which particular 3.5 is the one to get and what the cutoff year is. I'll see if I can find out. @Randog, @louB, @KRUSTY??

    Great to hear, @JeepingJay36

    Might want to try calling Carl at VTec Performance too. He's a Honda guru.

    As we dive into March, we start to see quite a change in temperature and weather out at Dumont. The seasons change quickly out there and the cool days of duning are all of sudden numbered. The dune season seems to come to screeching halt quicker than we would like it to. We're already seeing 80+ degree days and an abundance of sunshine. There's no doubt this has been a funky season for weather. Since we've seen plenty of days with cold rain and wind this winter, the longer warm days actually seem very inviting. As of our last trip out (March 3-5), the flowers are already starting to bloom. I would guess that by cleanup weekend, we'll see fields of yellow and purple flowers. So keep an eye out. Dumont is going to be full of color over the next month or so. It's time to seize the weekends of spring and make the most out of this dune season before it's over! Don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour on Sunday, March 12th. Daylight Savings Time 2017 Begins at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 12th. Last Year's Superbloom Pics

    Hmm, it sounds like it's gonna be difficult to figure out, but not impossible. Start simple. Check all of your grounds really good. Then ohm out the VTEC solenoid and switch to make sure they at least test out ok. You can find the resistance spec online. I just googled it when Neal had his issue. If it's cutting out like a rev limiter it sounds like it may be ignition related...which, in turn, sounds like maybe an input issue like a crank sensor. I don't think the motors are known for those going bad, but it would be worth hooking up a scan took and trying to watch the rpm reading when it cuts out. I'l try to think of anything else it might be. I can't emphasize enough...don't skip the simple stuff. Make sure your plugs and fuel are good. And again...grounds! Make sure all your connections are good.

    What? 35G? What did you do?
  14. dunefreak
    NICE! Hey, I spot knack knack Ted! lol Have him tell you the story how he got that name this one time in Havasu. Bout time I see that pretty Tatum out in the dunes and not parked in front of the moho. (I fixed your pics BTW. Iphone pix never rotate so try taking them sideways rather than upright)

    Mine is OBD2 Is yours turbo? If it isn't revving over 4800, I would still check the Vtec solenoid and switch. It is a very common issue that would prevent the motor from revving and making good power up top. That's about when it kicks in and lets the motor scream. Neal actually had his go out earlier this season and that's what the problem was.
  16. dunefreak
    Is this motor and ECM setup new to the car or have you run it for a while? Just wondering if this problem came out of nowhere or if you are starting from stratch and working out some bugs with a motor swap. Some trans codes are normal, but I don't think not having VSS or trans input would affect engine rpm. Mine sets numerous trans codes and runs fine.
  17. dunefreak
    It's probably nothing to do with your ECU. Have you checked it for codes? Can you hook a scan took up and see if it's going lean or if there are any VTEC solenoid codes?
  18. dunefreak
    Totally would but I work tomorrow and Saturday. Have fun bud. Keep the dune reports coming. Even if I can't be out there, it's good to see you guys having fun in the sand.
  19. dunefreak
    fixed lol

    Gotta click the source button first before you paste the code.

    Gee thanks for the invite, Mike! Thanks for checking in. Looks gorgeous out there.

    You're welcome. It was a really great weekend. Nice and chill. If you make your FB live video public, I think you can embed it like I did.
  23. dunefreak
    Not sure what to tell ya. It's just YouTube. Try this link. Maybe the embedded video doesn't want to show up on your computer. https://youtu.be/n4-EE-VLEd8 Ok, I think cleanup is my last trip of the season, but ya never know. Keep me posted.

    I am running the stock ECM, but with some custom stuff done to eliminate the trans part of it so it runs right. BTW, I didn't build it. It has a separate controller to drive two additional injectors that spray just before the throttle body. With this setup I run 10 psi of boost on race gas.

    @Jmanx lets hook up for cleanup weekend.
