Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

i have the same engine in my crx 91 si. i have never had the 2 things your pointing too ever hooked up. and it runs fine.... as far as the gas problem goes, its probly because you have a highflow fuel pump, its just sucking up more gas :-\


o and get rid of that FMU and go turboedit

This is the problem with FMU's. When they see boost, they raise fuel. You usually get alot more than you want. Read up on turboedit and use it. I knew nothing about uberdata and now I can tune it with ease. And a high flow pump wont help in giving you better mileage. ;)

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

sounds like your running way to rich and washing down your cylinders. That is why your burning oil and going through fuel.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

well if you're sucking down gas and not hitting boost then you're obviously either running hella rich or you are leaking gas somewhere.

I'm guessing it has something to do with your vacuum. You have those two ports open, and the FMU is reliant on vacuum readings to increase fuel pressure. Get those two holes plugged up and see what happens. Why they would cause your FMU to increase the pressure doesn't make much sense but N/A cars do weird ---- when you try to turbocharge them. :-\

I doubt it's the fuel pump..it's only flowing more fuel when it needs to.

here we go, don't T off your fpr. big no no. buy 2 5/16" to 1/4" plastic Ts' where the through parts on the T is 5/16" and the barb in the middle of the T is 1/4". tap off the 2 larger rubber hoses, the one that's on top of the throttle body and the one that's to the left of the fpr hose. you're also missing a hose clamp on the throttle body coupler and clamps on the larger hoses that you'd need to T off of for the wg/bov/boostgauge. use the realy small clamps on all your connection, like the wg/bov and Ts' also any hose that you have comming out og the throttle body. and use rubbers vac hoods/caps to seal the open ports the arrow's point to.

on the left: dashpot diaphram
on the right: something only used for auto trannys.... i took off the dashpot diaphram and i have nothing running to the other thing....

why do you have your clutch cable zip tied to your fuel rail?

There is nothing hard to about TurboEdit, it is just the fact that you're too lazy to learn.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

just have someone on here like xenocron set you up with turbo edit. then you can ditch the shitty fmu and what not.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

Nobody will tune turboedit in my area , i have called around so one, i couldnt tune it, im not going to spend 300 on a wideband setup and try to tune it myself, and 3 i have yet to find someone running a b16a turbo with turbo edit. If i found someone who was doing it then maybe that person could help me get started. Ive read through it and its pretty overwhelming and i wouldnt feel comfortable trying to use something like that on my own.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

the 2nd thing is not something for auto trannies like mentioned before. it is called "Air Boost Valve". its purpose is to provide more air to the engine under starting conditions. its prehistoric. all of the OBD1 engines are missing this.

You can just remove the dashpot.. its purpose is to hold the throttle slightly open when you let off the gas to prevent an instant change in manifold vacuum which causes cars to backfire and pop.

As far as the air boost valve, i would suggest just leaving it unhooked. Or, you can make a small blockoff plate and take it off and make the intake look a lot cleaner. On my B18A1 (which has both of those), i switched to a B18B1 manifold which doesnt have those goofy looking prehistoric shitters.

next time you call me lazy maybe you should lookin to the facts, https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?board=6

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

T'n off your FPR for a boost reference on a FMU is not a big No No. What FMU ratio disc do you have? I got to use a FMU today on a GSR, and I just remembered how gay they are. with a 10:1 disc and only 5psi this thing was still peg ass lean, and had no pull on the top end.

A set of 450's (turboedit or even the hack) is way better than a fmu. It will make you sleep at night alot better knowning your engine is getting the fuel it needs. You may not know ---- about turboedit, but this is what you need to do. Find a OBD0 that is chipable, send it to one of these guys on the forum like leed, xerocron, street kings etc etc, get it chipped and ask for a base b16 turbo program. This will get you started, learn how to tune, go to the dyno or borrow a wideband and your good to go.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

I agree. Turboedit and uberdata are very similar, and I didnt know how to use uber. I was kinda like you, a little afraid of playing with something that could possibly be more worse than good. But, I read up, and now Ive done two cars with it, that run perfect. And I am soon gonig to build my b16a with uber. This isnt stressed enough that the one point in a turbo setup that is always most important is fuel needs. Get that right, and you will never have to worry.

Re:i need some help with my gay ass turbo setup
 

when i talked to xenocron he said that turbo edit doesnt work with a b16a at this point, i will pm him about it some more and see if he can chip me a ecu and set me up with a base program that will run me pretty rich and see if that helps.

On my freinds turbo si he has a fmu and a wideband and not once has his ratio dropped past 15:1

I know that every car is diffrent but i doubt the fmu will cause me to run lean if anything im afraid that its going to kill one of my injectors, My plugs where blacker than oj so i know im not running lean. I just need to find somebody that has a b16a turbo obd0 and team up with them to learn turbo edit,

ive considered trying to get a obd1 distributor and converting everything over.

i will have pics tommorow, its too late so they wont come out right if i take them now.

This week im going to get a vaccum manifold and redo the fmu and the way the vacuum is hooked up. and go from there.

Putting the cam gears back to stock made a big improvement, the car ------- rips now so im a little less discouraged about the hole thing, im getting a new downpipe made on monday i plan to pick up a vaccum block and redo that and then things should be good till i can find a cheap zdyne gold or get a turbo edit, i have a wedding coming up soon and i have to save about 3g's for our honeymoon.
