I'm only just starting to learn more about engine tuning so I am at a loss to otherwise convince myself of this by analyzing data logs and such.
6) Again 
And of course I forgot to ask it in my last post, but do you or anyone else experience the weird sort of scratchy electrical noise coming from under the manifold cover when turning the ignition to the ON mode? I forgot to mention that while my Odyssey battery was at about 12.4VDC, my stock battery was at 12.8VDC so I'm left wondering if 0.4VDC is causing something to act up, which based on my understanding of electronics, seems like that shouldn't necessarily be the case. |
5) If I remember correctly, that raspiness has something to do with the valve overlap, which shiv used to overcome the torque dip in that rev range, there was a big thread on it somewhere, and it is not just on the ESC tune, but all of his tunes
6) I don't know how the newer ones are made, but my version has a small 12v "computer fan" on the motor controller. When I turn my car to on, but do not start it right away, and when it is cold the fan rattles. I don't hear it over the sound of the engine running, and when the car/engine compartment is warm and I turn it back on, the fan doesn't rattle. I don't know what type of fan it is: ball or sleeve bearing, or how long it will last. I may have to replace it at some point. anyway, if they still come with fans on them, that may be your noise.
