Yeah, please, Honda-Tech the ---- outta your car

Grow up, its his ride

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

Thanks man. His car was never an EBP Si. It was a gold/orange, riced to ----, 98 EX. He ditched the D16y8, dropped in a b16a2, de-riced it some, and had a few coats of Mazda Blue layed down. I'll try and dig up a before picture, the way it looks now (believe it or not) is much cleaner than before.

Anyway, back to the questions. My fuel system is 100% stock except for the injectors. I was thinking that the stock FPR was restricting me and that's why I'm not meeting the fuel demands. I could be wrong though. I think I'm just going to suck it up and buy an adjustable FPR with a gauge on it so that at least I know it's pushing enough. If it is, I can start to chase other options.


Oh, and I'm tuning with Crome. The guy who is doing my tuning has his own wideband and all the other magical gadgets. It's a dsm t25 turbo.

One more thing, I appreciate the advice for painting the headlights, but to be honest I'm really not into the whole JDM craze. I just want to have a clean, simple, and sneaky daily driver. Something that doesnt draw too much attention, but still turns the heads of people who actually know a thing or two about cars, turbos, etc..


Thanks to everyone for the kind words/help/suggestions. Please keep them coming!!

this is how you add fuel


go to the high cam fuel table


select areas that need fuel and press button


fpr is not needed


hence why tuning with an ecu


you open map add fuel with a thing in percents=more fuel=jdm boost crazy butt ------ awesome love

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

if the fuel system is stock it could be the fuel pump. Walbro 255lph might help.

Have people boosted with 450's and an otherwise stock fuel system? I'm not sure just a thought.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

yeah man, with proper tuning the stock pump should live upwards of 300hp

Chris, thank you for your suggestion, however we tried that during the last session. Didn't make a bit of difference.

Re: My turd, hmt'd 99 EX Coupe 56k=maybe..
 

ALright so one of my wires on the number 3 injector came loose and that's why I was only running on 3 cylinders. It runs mint as ---- now! however I'm still leaning out under boost. I'm waiting on my fuel pressure gauge to get here so I can get it, and a new fuel filter hooked up to see if that cures any woes. If not, I'll start chasing other things.

Also, it's looking like some of my for sale ---- might be on its way out, and if that happens, I'll have the cash to get the custom filter that I want, so I can finally ditch the stupid foam one. When I say custom I mean that it's actually going to be made to the exact size and dimension I need, with K&N type filter, exact same materials. I'm stoked
