Update No. ?? (I don't know, maybe I call it "Longhorn", service pack 3 :wink: ):
Hoorrray - power has come back, still no overheating (at least on the dyno). After my techie went through some serious surgery of the oil-, timing- and other interiours strictly after the service manual he found some coke (or oil coal) deposits in the oil lines and an improper gasket which seemed to block some of the oil pressure of the Vtec-system for the rear cylinder bank.
After reassembling all parts there was a 4th dyno day now. Result after 4 runs:
average of crank power: 225 kW which is 306 PS. And that was with only 80 km/h fan speed with warm air. Water temp. gauge in the car didn't get higher than about 3/4 of the white zone despite some full load tests. My techie expects about 310 PS with fresh air at track speeds.
(stock 3.2 engine with K&N OEM replacement filter in stock airbox, cat replacement pipes and custom made exhaust, no other engine mods) Just to remind you: The last dyno day with not fully engaging Vtec at rear cylinder bank we had only 272 PS which makes a huge difference.
We are all happy at the moment - but will be much happier after the first real life test which I have to schedule now.
BTW: If you need some refreshment you may use my new radiator fan :wink:
