ok sweet. others in the general tech threads were tellin me to turn it to 30 and blow it up. people on here have changed lol. but thanks guys
i know my motor isnt tuned but i think my bov is causin somethings. bad part is its a ebay knock off piece of poop. does anyone know how to adjust it?
Yea easiest way to adjust it is take all the allen screws out and throw it away lol but really thats how u fix them

lol. ok i just picked up a greddy profec type s controller, i installed it right, have all setting on min, but its wanting to hit 15psi which i DO NOT want. i made one run and it hit 15 and i quit. i dont want my block blowin up. can someone help??!
Best thing to do on a simple setup like that is run it on a waistgate spring or manual controller and tune it on chrome "chippable" ecu

94 integra... got my cat taking out due to clogged up very badly and needed a new muffler as well, now have a pretty good muffler and pipe where the cat was. a bung was put there for the o2 so all that is good i assume. I am getting a code 41 sometimes after the car heats up. code is a o2 heater sensor according to the blinks. I am trying to troubleshoot but cant figure this out. Thanks.
You probably need one of those adapters to screw into the o2 bung and then screw the o2 sensor into. It makes the o2 sensor think there is a cat there still.
even though the o2 is already plugged in the bung?
that b/c was a waste of money should of just got a hallman manual one
im guessing the wastegate has a 15lb spring in it. but im thinkin the control valve in the engine bay isnt workin, anyway to tell if it is?
just run it on 15lbs then...

and blow my shit up? ha no thanks. but i got it working thanks anywho
yea i did that and i can hear it click but idk i think i got some lines mixed up or not "t'd" properly
i picked up a "basemap" chip today and when i put it in a p28 ecu on my 94 civic it ran like poop. idled realll low and cut of when u gave it gas. could it be doing this cuz of the ecu? or is this "basemap" tuned? the guy i got it from on here said its a bone stock d series non vtec on 8lbs of boost chip
Need help! Car stutters and bogs under mild acceleration no matter what rpm I'm at or what gear I'm in. Calibrated tps and it was at .60 at closed throttle. I set it to .49 at closed and it read 4.55 at WOT. not sure what to do now. Idles perfect but could it be the throttle body or iavc. Thanks
93 del sol with b18a block, b16 head, p61 ecu
what is the fuel pressure
Everything is stock on the car except for like headers and intake
Not sure my guess would be stock since the fuel pump is stock
you need to check actual pressure, it takes an adapter, which i have at my shop, to test it... if the fuel pressure or volume is low, then it can cause your symptoms because the car is just not getting adequate fuel... call me at the shop to set something up... 706-563-1210, jimmy
Thanks. It seems it does get the right amount but only if I'm quarter throttle or more. I will check fuel pressure tomorrow and see what's up. Thanks again for your help.
dont seem like fuel pressure to me only does it low rpm. once in the gas good it clears out and runs fine with way way way more fuel then it needs. i think it still tps told you u should of took it off made sure who ever put in on moved the little plastic peice to the stop where it goes. or some other sensor would be my guess. the tps is made with revits so it wont get messed with why do peopel keep messign with them. i know it was like that when u got it but just in general people stops drillin them out and change the load on stock stuff. i can see if you buy a aftermarket tb.
You can plug my s300 up and see what the tps is reading but if its clearing up when u get on it the its deff not fuel... ,ould be in the actual tune if its a chipped ecu or its possi le the mapsensor is reading wrong which has happened to me before

yeah i forgot about that its throwing map sensor. rick said he changed it but if it still throwing it might need to find another one
i love how everyone just throws shit at cars and doesn't spend the effort to learn WHY the car is malfuctioning... it could completly be fuel related, do you think cars dont run when they are lean??? i guess when you melt it down, you will figure it out... all of your sensors have readings that can be measured w/ a multimeter... invest in one and learn how to use it and you will amaze your friends on how to actually fix a car instead of just guessing at which part to throw at it next...
Have a question about replacing synchros in my gsr tranny. I have to replace my input shaft seal because it is leaking and want to go ahead and replace my synchros with carbon ones. How hard is it to do so? Ive done just about all the work on the car myself just never ventured into the transmission really. well not like this at least. was wondering the difficulty level and what all i really need to order besides the synchros? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
ight peeps got some issues with my new del sol. first, my passenger side blinker doesnt want to blink sometimes, then it will flash slow then go to normal flashing speed. second, horn doesnt work at all, isnt getting power to the horn or anything and yes the fuse isnt blown lol

i need help guys! got some jdm headlights for the sol and i have two questions...is it safe to run hids since they are plastic? and how to i hook up the daytime running lights?
So about two weeks ago I went to crank my car and it turned over a few times then started sounding like the starter was spinning freely. The motor turns when I try to start it but its just a smooth turning, no hiccup at all like its trying to start. Since then I have checked the spark fuel and spark, it is getting both just fine. I laid the spark plug across the engine and there was spark, I also went ahead and replaced the coil and stuff just in case. I tried jumping it off just to give it a little more juice but got nothing. I loosened the bolt from the fuel filter and turned on the ignition and fuel sprayed everywhere like it should. Ive also checked every fuse and they are all god. Im at a loss so any help at all would be great. Thanks.
No compression... pour some transmission fluid in the cylinders and turn it over... you could always put a compression gauge on it to verify...
