trying to help a friend out here, but just cant bring myself to register on any honda forums :laughing-smiley-014:

car is a 98 accord with an F23A, mods are full exhaust and intake (pod). it has a MASSIVE flat spot until ~5k which im pretty sure it where it hits VTEC, then it just takes off till about 6k where it starts coughing and spluttering till just before redline

just changed plugs as old ones look a big fouled up, but made no difference. my mate was telling me that he pulled the leads one by one (replacing the previous one so it only dropped one cylender at a time) and went through that process a couple of times, and both times pulling the number 3 cylinder caused it to die, where as the others just caused it to idle rough

cant be bother throwing it on a dyno but may if its really necesarry. next up i was thinking diagnostic, then fuel filters+clean injectors. to me it feels like spark is braking down but i really dont know where to go from here, and dont wanna do too replacing of things as my mate doesnt wanna throw too much money at it without results.

any ideas?

cheers,

Ben

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
