Fixing your exhaust leak changed the way your wideband reads, not the way your car runs.
My REAL O2 sits JUST infront of my wide-band.

OBD2 B18 header the stock O2 is just infront of the cat, my wideband is mounted in the front of my 'test pipe'

both would be affected.

FPR is a B+M unit.

What ------- good is that? Most the time those don't work correctly, or you can't get your pressure low enough with a stock pump.

Large exit B-series FPR will handle Walbro 255HP, A1000, etc. I clown one of the shops I tune for about buying an Aeromotive regulator for their 800 whp car when they could have tapped their fuel rail and run a stock unit.

its funny that you say that. i have always thought you could make all the power you want with a stock fpr. i have no intentions of changing mine. i also have no intentions of changing the fuel rail.

Here, this thread is amusing because not only does it have tech, but it's a ------- circus of whining *******.

Twice.

Once for stating, in the Accord forum, that ITR owners were techless toolbags and every post in the ITR forum should be deleted. The ITR forum mod banned me, Knighton let me back in after I told him three times in a row I had nothing to apologise for, and wouldn't apologise. HT was a different place then.

Once for calling zex_cool a scammer. That was a fucked up situation, some of the current mods are really sketchy, and it had to go through Knighton because I apparently caused a mod catfight behind the scenes.

So, I pulled out my sparkplugs today to find AC Delco plugs gapped at .077....?



They are getting replaced with a fresh set of NGK V-powers I bought gapped to .044, I suspect that might have been part of the lean problem......

B+M FPR is installed, but it started to rain, so the fuel pump will have to wait until tomorrow.
